“If you read the stories that comprise human history for the past, say, two thousand years, nothing reads as surprising. Rooting your expectations in the decade of the 1990s is a bit like watching a single down of a football game and expecting to be able to predict the final score. It doesn’t work and it makes you look like an idiot.”

“How does one resist the rise of authoritarianism? How do we do so individually and collectively? What can we do at home? Across borders? What are our own expectations, duties, and red lines? These are the questions we must ask. We’re well beyond ‘if’ or ‘what if’ and thoroughly into the territory of ‘What now?’”
