We have just TWO spots left for WPF Insiders this round! One of my favorite parts? We’ve had folks in their 20s and into their mid 60s join. Intergenerational conversations are the best.

I don’t actually know if we can vote out way out of fascism at this point. But I do know that not even trying is a loser move.
