If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

Great 🧵. Whatever our place in the world we can do something: observe, speak up, notice & amplify small & large acts of kindness & courage, ask for & accept & offer help, read & learn about what’s happening, reflect, join with others who care. Embrace change. Love. Comfort, clarify, encourage. ⬇️

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*. I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

Spent today celebrating 100th birthday of my kind gentle mother, along with her beautiful little innocent joyous & hopefilled 3 & 6 yo grand bairns. Surreal to look back at the changes she’s seen (b 1925) while also trying to imagine the future they face (they’d be 100 in 2119). 😢
