Awfully nice of Joshua Sohn, a progressive-leaning attorney writing from DC, to mention @LeahLibresco, @matthew_loftus, @kathrynlopez, @PatrickDeneen, @AmSolidarity, and myself as helping the pro-life movement chart a path forward in his essay for @PublicDiscourse

'Very tellingly, Nolan’s Odyssey ends not with Odysseus’s triumphant return to rule Ithaca, but with his abdication to Telemachus and his decision to go on a self-imposed exile with Penelope to expiate his guilt about the war.'

thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/… Perhaps something in the American tradition could help us Europeans out of the lurch: the ability to change, to realize what had been wrongly done and understand that they urgently have to undo it.
