Heather Cox Richardson writes about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's State of the State address (link here) and his meditation on love within it. Here's a quote:

That love for one’s neighbor, he suggested, is the country’s most powerful tool against the rise of authoritarianism.

“I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Illinoisans, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,” Pritzker said. “We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.”
