I believe Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were made for this moment. Think about their two life “stories” thus far. Could we come up with a better twosome?…I could list here a dozen examples, but our team knows them well. In the same vein, could we have come up with a better contrasting story than DJT’s?…I don’t think so.

I am thankful to the new field of writers like Heather Cox Richardson and the other Substack writers we read. Harris and Walz have given those good writers fresh fodder that continues to nourish this movement. HCR will go down in history as the exemplar historian who met the moment in the transition from print media to digital media as she has brought history back to life for many of us in her herd.

No individual will save us. We are that ever-growing force that has always been simmering to bend the arc toward justice. Hopefully 2024 will go down in history as a year that the temperature was elevated in that direction. Win or lose this grueling election, this growing movement will continue.

Thank you again, Heather!

What do you think of this idea? HCR as Secretary of Education.

Bill Alstrom -- I agree that HCR should be in Harris's cabinet, but leave the choice of which position up to the two of them.

I cannot for a moment imagine HCR leaving her paradise in Maine for a stint in DC. Does not seem to be her style.

When the nation calls… it’s only a few short years to serve.
