#4 Anthony Bourdain (the CNN featured commentator focused on food and travel who created the movie “Wasted” about food waste). #3 One Million Women (building a lifestyle revolution to fight the climate crisis). #2 Xiuhtezcatl Martinez and Earth Guardians (the “global tribe” of inspiring young activists, artists, musicians). #1 Rogue Federal Employees (standing up for science – the “dark state” Trump criticizes).

Our country’s history of hate, bigotry, and complacency enabled insurgents to breach the Capitol. Maybe we aren’t the good guys we thought we were. Even if we hate him and didn’t vote for him, our way of life is what allowed him to thrive. Those of us with privilege must now take a hard look at our role in Trump’s insurrection.
