"...we believe in democracy, we think if we do the same thing over and over -- demand that our elected representatives actually represent us -- they will." This makes me unutterably sad. Because I believe it, too, and it keeps not being the case.
Thank you for a big pink nuanced story for the brave! Doris Huerta said that she was afraid stepping into every strike. Thanks for fueling my/our bravery.
Everybody thinks they (it's okay to be ungrammatical now. A victory) can change human nature. Your comic brilliance, especially in the area of fashion, makes this essay from the Bush era the most on the money think I've read today. Excelsior!
I have a toothache. It hurts. But you made me laugh, no, guffaw out loud twice. "Anyone who has ever owned a belt…" made the gauze fall out of my mouth.
What a thoughtful, incisive and very Cintra-ish piece. Brava! Personally, I think the internet helped kill protest movements. Too many think sitting on their fat ass, tweeting their outrage into the vast echo chamber is the same as actually showing up. As far as the Iraq war goes, I wonder if there was partly a sunk-costs fallacy at work: like a gambler believing he will win if he just keeps trying.
I love the painting; she looks like I wish I did.
P.S. "I'm gonna save Cheney's soul." Ol' Dick might have saved it a little bit himself when he stated last month he was voting for Harris.

Spot on. Terrific writing, and continued relevance nearly 20 years later.
Thank you !
