July 24, 2020: I've written AOC before, but, when someone delivers a calm, coherent, articulate, and graceful takedown of powerful men not only verbally assaulting women but pretending that their personal proximity to women like daughters and wives excuses it, or can stand in for decency, what is there to do but write a love letter? What I loved most was how she spoke to the fact that, unfortunately, due to practice, being called a "fucking bitch" had not even derailed her day. I love the power in keeping an even keel, one I've been cultivating. That I have leaders in it to look to who are younger than I am - and who I hope to help elect President - is a special, thrilling treat.
