There are three late, great women of Texas who are heroes of mine: Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and Molly Ivins. As we begin life in these Disunited States of Trumpland, here are Molly’s marching orders:
“Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”
