magentaI posted this on Facebook, but I know not everyone is there.
Last year we lost Bowie and Prince, Alan Rickmann and Muhammed Ali, Gene Wilder and Arnie Palmer, Leonard Cohen and Carrie Fisher, to name a few. This year, we stand in danger of losing liberty and free speech, justice and human decency, universal sufferage and human rights, large parts of the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions. Perhaps 2016 was our warm-up for losing what is dear to us.
Peoples lives are finite; it's part of being human. Principles can and should endure. This is why we fight.
