The Breath Before the Fight
from Ignite: Fighting Fascism In The Age Of Its Rise · host Rebel Radio
A reflection on 2025 through the idea of breath—starting with my habit of taking a deep inhale before I speak, and what I’ve learned to value about it. I share the story of Henrietta, our pandemic chicken who defied every expectation, and how watching her fight to breathe reshaped how I think about life, death, and dignity. As we enter 2026, I connect that lesson to the politics of air—who gets to breathe freely, who gets silenced, and why none of us are entitled to more than anyone else.
