An activist like Rebecca Solnit. She has extremely impressive credentials, not only as an activist, but as a writer. She has written 17 books.

I think you can see her writing talent in this essay. I went to the website and read the whole textbecause I know she’s such a good writer and I wanted every single word.

As I read, I copied a few of my favorite phrases. Look at this one, which describes Trump.

this incompetent, demented, emotionally and intellectually crippled, dysfunctional demagogue are setting in quickly.



Rebecca Solnit: a woman for our times.
