On Kamala Harris, Misogynoir, and the Future of the Left
I feel like humans always resist. Humans find a way to imagine and move things a little bit. Always. And if we stop thinking about things happening in our lifetime, then I think that really opens up the possibilities. So, in spite of this, I am hopeful, because I do think that even in moments…
