“My goal was always to do serious work in a joyful way, to show people what’s possible if we keep choosing to go high,” Obama writes. Will that suffice? Well, we saw Alex Jones ordered to pay more than a billion dollars for torturing the Sandy Hook families. And we just had a midterm election where the lows of big lies, fake outrage and charlatanism were (mostly) rejected by the electorate. As a country, we’re enjoying this moment — let’s hope it’s more than a moment — of “going high.” That’s a light we can all carry.
-Michelle Obama in the NYT
