Hate leads to burnout, confusion, anxiety and frustration. Love is restorative. Seek justice because you love your neighbor, not because you hate your enemy. This is the key to organizing without falling into despair.

Yes. And also I'm SO tired of the people busting in and shitting on individual Americans for the state of the country and calling us all complicit when so many of us organizing are fucking victims.
I understand. Please remember they're not the problem though, just like we aren't the problem. The global oligarchy has systematically seized our means of production and communications, and it's not limited to within our borders. Canada is ALSO teetering on the edge of a fascist government.
France avoided a hard right government by the skin of their teeth and is now barely holding it together. Pointing fingers amongst the forces of decency is the only way this minority of evil wins. Unite and survive
Grace is the whole point! Grace to one another! That is why it is called the Lords Prayer! And the biggest ( being the most committedsin) to accept grace, and not give it! To have faith he effect justice!
I’m lucky to be an elementary art teacher. It’s a joyful job that keeps me going, since making and sharing beautiful things with kids and showing them love and care is the whole job. Don’t know how I’d be getting through otherwise.
Do you have to be fucking right about this? I'm pretty much surrounded, and I'm about to volunteer to help them do their tax returns. Their nastiness about it makes it hard to stay centered. But you are right, damn it.

I know that that thought is unhelpful and unproductive but I just can't shake it.
They want you in dispair so you do nothing.
Remain joyful so when your time to act comes, you can do so rationally.
My silence right now is calculated, because right now is not my time. I will be ready when it is.
