@iamderay had plenty of interesting thoughts on activism in the digital age during his @Texas_Tribune Q&A, but he also had some delightful larger sentiments: “I’m most frustrated that so much incredible work over the next four years will be spent withstanding his administration, and I’m hopeful we can figure out how to not lose our imagination and sense of progress admist the chaos. “I don’t know what it means to give someone a chance when they’re so openly racist, bigoted, Islamophobic. “President Obama said the most important role in the republic is citizen, and I take that seriously.
