Daughters of Light
The experience of protesting alongside you has been super, since, really – where else would we have met?

Memo to the Master of the Universe
Here’s what I’m hoping You can answer for me: Do You believe - given the current reality of our world rather than any idealized version You’d had in Mind - in democracy, critical prosperity for all levels of society, scientific advances, basic human rights, and broad personal freedoms for men and women alike? I ask this sincerely because it seems that many of those who don’t believe in these thi[...]
