Quote of the Day (Rebecca Solnit, on Joy in Politics as a ‘Fine Act of Insurrection’)



“Joy doesn't betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated and isolated, joy is a fine act of insurrection.”― Writer, historian and activist Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities (2004)

Congratulations to Doug Jones (pictured) for narrowly defeating the execrable Judge Roy Moore for the U.S. Senate in Alabama.

But this joy can only be momentary. The true “fine act of insurrection” must start now: a concerted movement to impeach The Donald and drain his daily poison from the well of American life.
