From the TED YouTube channel: Writer Andrew Solomon has spent his career telling stories of the hardships of others. Now he turns inward, bringing us into a childhood of struggle, while also spinning tales of the courageous people he's met in the years since. In a moving, heartfelt and at times downright funny talk, Solomon gives a powerful call to action to forge meaning from our biggest struggles.

Warning: Some topics may be a trigger and traumatic.

If you’re not familiar with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, then this is your chance to listen to her. She’s brilliant. And, she is the leading expert on how the person in the WH has been working for years to do what he is doing right now (with his legion of collaborators).

Within the last 24 hours, more lives than ever are in jeopardy over the fascist takeover of our country.

We are actively in danger every day going forward. Please take measures to ensure your own safety.
