Ways and Means (3.3)
“Trejo’s fighting to hold on to an empire. I’m fighting to have something that’s recognizable as the universe with living things in it.”
James S. A. Corey • Leviathan Falls (The Expanse Book 9)

Timothy Snyder • On Freedom
Change requires a kind of organised, sustained pressure. It requires citizens who refuse to accept dysfunction as normal and officials who understand their role as serving public welfare rather than private interests.
