To every rule there are exceptions. I have a rule I always follow. Except when I don’t. As today.
The rule is never to post a piece written by someone else. But as this piece by M. Gessen is so important, and so completely in keeping with my previous post – “For Followers Who Want to FIGHT Not Follow” – for your information and edification I am reposting Gessen’s contribution.*
*In case the link does not work, the piece appeared in the New York Times dated February 8. It’s titled, “The Chilling Consequences of Going Along with Trump.”
