Would you like to send a letter to the Times? Great! Here’s how to do it.
America willingly chose fascism, xenophobia, and Christian nationalism.
Our soon-to-be totalitarian (and the Republican Party) will be implementing heinous laws, reforms and policies that will have everlasting and devastating effects. I am once again fearful for the LGBTQIA+ community, women, immigrants, and anyone who resists this neo-nazi leader and government.
I choose love over hate and acceptance over fear. I choose knowledge and science over ignorance and religion. I choose freedom over tyranny.
Peacefully, I will resist this leader and government. And, dear reader, I hope you will peacefully resist, too.
— Eric Wesley Tweedy (he/him), Eudora
