Thank you for this Hamilton. I had read reports about the mayor's speech but next to nothing about this chorus of citizens - you know, the usual "after a few warm-up speakers..." What 'the little people' said IS the real story. We need more of this - and more who will listen and act on what they hear.

A great moment for reminding us that there is such a thing as love and that it can make the world a better place if those who fear it can be unmasked as the pathetic miserable fools they are.

excellent - after the kangaroo court Haymarket trial in Chicago, as Albert Parsons' shouted before his hanging on Nov 11, 1887, at the Cook County Jail --"Let the Voice of the people be heard."

Have you ever read something and thought “Holy shit, I wish I could write like that!”?

Because I just did.

Really important reflection for organizing and motivation. The fear-based stuff workers for some of the more obvious struggles, but in sectors like mine (architecture) people respond strongly to organizing for something, not necessarily against it.

You nailed it. Especially now we need to distill this moment into its basic irreducible components. What is it REALLY and TRULY all about. So easy to get mired so deep in the details that you forget where you are.

Yes..love is the path to clarity
