To my progressives, liberals, radicals, and people seeking change, a love note: Why must we continue to look to other people/groups to make the changes we want to see happen?

I’m confused. I’m concerned. I’m thinking of moving to Colorado, where they passed some measures that actually make sense!

“There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part.
