... "Letters from an American" and YouTube briefings, and Simon Rosenberg's Hopium Chronicles and YouTube channel are my go to's for keeping my own hope alive as we are flooded with news of horrors that would otherwise leave me cynical and immobilized.

We all need inspiration from wherever we can find it! As Tad Stoermer has pointed out, hope is the life's blood of resistance as much as lies are the life's blood of authoritarians.
