Resistance in the Age of Trump
Today in a country where magical thinking is heard at the highest levels of government, facts are up for grabs. You have your narrative. I have mine. Recall Trump aide Kellyanne Conway’s now infamous “alternative facts” comment. Are we sliding toward a dystopian future? Not necessarily. Informed and organized people, unafraid and willing to challenge power, can change the system.
