Now is the Time
by Sharon T on 6/3/25The Pageant - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5Fascism—it’s what both the left and right warn us against. But while the right gives us a frenetic, hate-filled scenario, Rachel Maddow gave us a hopeful, detailed and informative roadmap to follow. So often since January 20, 2025, I’ve felt paralyzed with fear, dread and exasperation. Her presentation engaged, informed and encouraged me. I want to learn more, I want to do more, I want to fight more. What she said mattered to me, while simultaneously communicating that I have the power—everyone in that room had the power—to work and protest against the breakdown and degradation of our American democracy, while artfully never mentioning the name of our common nemesis. Thank you, Rachel, for deftly and expertly putting the ball back on the court and encouraging us to fight like crazy, because what we are doing IS working. And we have no other choice.
