Totalitarianism cannot succeed. The beauty of your response to the beauty of that free-spirited dancing, playing and singing is as sure a sign as any of this simple truth. The only uncertain thing is how much damage and terror tyranny causes while failing. As it fails and emits its poisons, our job is to stay true to beauty, freedom and love. Thank you for your courageous work in exactly that spirit!
