Thank you for your article on John Lewis. I was fortunate to have met Mr. Lewis at a book fair in Washington, D C. years ago. May he rest in peace.

White people in America are not used to making “Good Trouble”, but remember the Vietnam War protests… please WAKE UP and march today. I hope with all my heart that your country gets through this and can return to being the generous and kind people that I have known. From an old lady across the border🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

Wonderful and inspiring. I’m beginning a one person campaign. I’m committed to writing to the White House and the President a one word message: “Shame”. If they received a million emails per day, wouldn’t it be lovely?

I love your writing. Maybe Lewis was decent, but his decency didn't last long. He always supported the illegal occupation of Gaza and the second Iraq war, which wasn't a war but a massacre of millions. And the evidence is clear that 9/11 was an inside job. He also supported the Libyan and Syrian massacres. A lotta blood on his hands. He was in the pocket of AIPAC and was, for the most part, silent on criminal justice in America. You won't find integrity anywhere in Congress or the Senate. You are still my favorite Substacker, though.

Good day,

each and every word you wrote is so true.

Good trouble is proof,that people live,instead of merely exist.

The majority chose to exist only,hiding behind comfort and routine.

Pareto is right here also,20% live,the rest exists only.

The 20% need to unify.

Roughly 70 Mio.ppl...impressive!
