Robert Reich








Friends,

It’s been another terrible week for America. Not only is the nation being severely tested, we as individuals are being tested as almost never before.

I know how hard it is to keep up your strength and determination in light of the daily onslaught from Trump, Musk, and their horrendous regime.

It’s devastating and depressing to witness their attempts to intimidate lawyers, law firms, universities, the media, and every other institution of civil society.

I thank you for hanging in there, nonetheless — protecting those who are most vulnerable, appearing at political town halls and demanding that Republicans be held accountable, demanding that Democrats speak out, holding “empty chair” town halls when your representative doesn’t show up, showing up for Bernie and AOC, organizing and mobilizing in Wisconsin and elsewhere, jamming the White House switchboard, and making good trouble when and however you can.

I also thank you for reading and sharing this letter. In doing so, you’re helping inform and reassure many others.

A few of you worry that I’m “preaching to the converted” and not reaching the people who need to be reached — mainly the followers of Trump and Musk. I sometimes worry about that, too.
