Diary 154

Wednesday, August 19th

The news is full, and rightly so, of the Democratic Party’s Convention. A unified party, now, it makes abundantly clear that the ‘president’ is a shameless, corrupt fraud, that climate change cannot wait, and that human rights cannot wait.

And yet some people out there still don’t accept these things as in any way valid or important. I cannot get my mind around that.

My friends in Europe keep asking me about this, to them, astonishing phenomenon and I have no decent answers for them. I can only say that what matters are not the stupid things that have been done, but the wise decisions we need to make from here on.
