"No matter what we do, [Trump's] presidency will mark us. But what we can do -must do- is stand up for the values that Trump contravenes: the civic institutions he disdains, the civility he abjures, the inclusiveness he shuns, the rule of law he resents, the compassion he diminishes. We must always remember that what makes America great is that which makes it good." -Richard North Patterson for The Boston Globe Opinion
