" I believe that for all its many flaws, the United States remains, in the phrase that is attributed to Ronald Reagan but actually dates back to John Wintrop four centuries ago, ‘a city upon a hill.’

I believe we will take back our freedoms from the would-be authoritarians who spent 2020 trying to cage us in our homes, 2021 chipping away at our medical autonomy, and both years censoring our freedom to speak and debate. All for our own good, of course.

I believe truth will prevail.

I have to. We all have to

The alternative is impossible to imagine. "
