How have authoritarians been stopped before? By basic acts of civic participation, undertaken by millions. That's part of what I unpack in my pre-election column, and I hope you'll give it a read because we all need to be prepared for what's ahead. And if you agree that Mother Jones' reporting can help guide us through this historic moment, please consider supporting our nonprofit journalism during our fall fundraising drive: We need to raise $350,000 by October 31.

This is one of my very oldest digital pictures, taken in 2001 on a corporate outing to Switzerland. It shows the city walls of Lucerne in the morning mist, and luckily for us Photoshop has restored it to a halfway decent condition. The accompaniment is a Vivaldi oboe concerto with my (distant) Swiss cousin Heinz Holliger on the oboe. It’s a soothing tune for these stressful days.
