And so, the sun sets on 2024.
The best part of the year, for me, was getting the chance to travel across the country and meet so many of you in person. We have created something extraordinary over the past several years, and I am honored to be a part of it.
I thank you all, most profoundly, for your questions and arguments and ideas and humor and patience—and above all, your support and concern for this project and for me. I couldn’t do it without you.
As for the future, old-time sailors would call the red skies of the last several sunsets a good omen.
Let's hope that they’re right.
Thank you, Heather, for helping us make sense of the mess, and for grounding our reality in the matrix of history. You’ve united us, connected us; and as a collective we’ll march on, together, in support of democracy and the American dream.
Heather, our support is for you, and this project, and each other, and our democracy. How lucky for us that we're all in this together! We will make it a happy new year!!!
