I have fallen in love with HCR and Iso appreciate her brilliant and astute Letters. Her weekend photos of Buddy's bring a sense of calm and reflection that we all need. With HCR and Deda's careful and intelligent presence I find the resolve to go forward in our pursuit of defending democracy.
I am eagerly awaiting your post on "actions that we ordinary Americans can take to protect democracy". Thanks for this post. I also read HCR and wish more of my neighbors did.
Thank you for your comment. I'm happy you mentioned the actions we can take, because that's the key to stopping the MAGA agenda from becoming law in America - what WE can do, where we live. Since I began reading Richardson, she has said, "Change the narrative." She means that when you hear something said that's false or cruel, you can add your viewpoint.
Yes! I’m a huge HCR Fan. I start every day with her newsletter. Sometimes my eyes are open when Substack dings me with her newsletter. Therapist indeed! And I’m your fan too!
I also find therapy listening to Richardson and Joanne Freeman talking on the podcast, Now & Then (https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/now-then). Two historians making sense of today's events. And, when another historian comes on as a guest (Carol Anderson talking about her book The Second), it is time to reflect and enrich your fightin' spirit.
Great piece! Thank you.

Linda, thank you for your positive spirit! And for reminding us about the beautiful photos HCR posts.

Brenda, you might belong to a special club, hearing HCR's Letter come in. Maybe it has a name!
Many thanks 🌷
Thanks Deda. I read HCR most days and have not been listening to the chats but I will act on your reminder about them.
I found it's easy to spot-review recent videos by setting them to closed captions and briefly scroll through them, to see if they interest you.

Ian, thank you for pointing the way back to action after a rest, and for this information about the podcast. Here's more about The Second: https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second

Isabel, you speak for so many of us. We Will Succeed.
