“To a life ideal. To the belief in loyalty, to the belief in comradeship, to the conviction that nothing comes of any relationship except through the sacrifice of the unimportant; to the belief that there is something in you greater than you – some passion for truth; some destiny to be the medium for that truth; some call to be the expression of the discontent and the aspiration of your country…To that I swear loyalty” –The journalist Dorothy Thompson in a letter to her soon-to-be husband Sinclair Lewis who would go on to write It Can’t Happen Here inspired by her urgent reporting on the rise of the Nazis, both abroad and at home This is an excerpt of Andrea Chalupa taking the Gaslit Nation Self Care Q&A.
