Rebecca Solnit on ICE Protests and Extreme Isolation | KQED Forum

In her new book of essays, “No Straight Road Takes You There,” writer and activist Rebecca Solnit urges us to not give in to feelings of doom and complacency in threatening political times, but instead to imagine a radically better future. “The most important territory to take is in the imagination,” she writes. “Once you create a new idea of what is possible and acceptable, the seeds are planted; once it becomes what the majority believes, you’ve created the conditions in which winning happens.” We talk to Solnit about her essays and the importance of persevering, even when it doesn’t feel good. Guest: Rebecca Solnit, writer, historian and activist; author, "No Straight Road Takes You There" Support for Forum is provided in part by the Osher Production Fund. 👉Subscribe and watch a new episode of Forum every week: www.youtube.com/kqednews?=sub_1 Follow us on: Instagram - @kqed_forum //   / kqed_forum   Facebook - KQED Forum //   / kqedforum   Bluesky - @kqedforum.bsky.social // https://bsky.app/profile/kqedforum.bs...
