Insurrection Day or not?

Yesterday, our Nation was brought to the brink. Valarie Kaur wrote See No Stranger, her memoir and manifesto of Revolutionary Love, one of the best books I read in 2020. Kaur would characterize what happened at the Capitol as the darkness of the womb, rather than the darkness of the tomb. I believe we will see a new nation be born, figuratively speaking, in the days ahead.

It was troubling to watch the rioting. But more than that, it was encouraging to witness what transpired afterward as the joint session of Congress counted the votes of the Electoral College. Rather than describe it myself, I present to you Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah).
