"Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

-Dylan Thomas

It’s been a week filled with darkness and it can feel like the light of our ideals is being extinguished from our nation. I’ve certainly struggled with feeling this way over the past three years. Beyond a lack of decorum, the march of cruelty against the most vulnerable members of our society has been supercharged by an atmosphere of fear.

But there is still light in this darkness.

For the first time in US history, a Senator has voted to convict a President from his own party—an act of moral courage that has won him far more vitriol from his own party than praise from across the aisle. In doing so, those who have chosen fear and darkness have been revealed in the contrast of the light of truth. The revealing of the darkness by the light should not be confused with a takeover by the night.

Now we must rage against the dying of the light, no matter how dark it gets. Register to vote. Check dates and make plans far ahead of time. Vote the assholes out.
