And I think that's, it's like going back to like the feeling of like, man, yes, like I can get with this.
I do too.
And that, and you know, one of the things that I learned the most when I report in Latin America
And particularly the feminist movement of Latin America, what is interesting to study about them is the way in which all of the different struggles are intertwined and woven in together, right?
Like I've been covering people that are protesting and then those are the women that are then literally running the like underground abortion networks.
I've seen them wrap abortion pills to send them to the southern border.
Those same organizers are then the lesbian organizers that are part of the LGBTQ rallies that are then the ones that have their cousins and aunts connected to the crisis of the disappeared women.
And so there's something to your point of the way that these struggles are intertwined and how do you get all of these organizers to go back to that universal value?
That you see a lot in Latin America, despite the pendulum swings there, which are insane, from anti-colonial movements to fascism.
The constant is that real, real profound universal value that unites this resistance movement.
I love going there to see that.

That was like, to me, like 1998, I believe. It's when it happens. I think I'm like 10 years old. It's one of the first times that my mom lets me stay up super late. And we're all watching the Real Madrid team parading through the streets of Madrid, ending up in this huge fountain called Cibeles. They take off their shirts and they're just like drinking champagne.
