The $54 billion increase in our defense budget and the virtual elimination of support for other countries (especially those in need) IS, believe it or not, the most glaring warning of the impending end of American democracy. Our work moving forward with a ruling administration that no longer acknowledges the brilliance of democracy’s possibilities should also include the absolute reimagining of us, of ALL of us. Sure, there will be more to say and write, more protests to attend, more posts to share, and more chants to scream… but right now, under the weight of these terrible acts and possibilities, making WHAT you are the ART of WHO you are becomes the best protest. If you never realized it before, it is certainly clearer today: Everything we are and everything we do is political. Your mind and body are the resistance.
