"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." - J.R.R. Tolkien

On a run this morning, I saw a new "Farmers supporting Trump" flag hanging from a utility pole. It made me think of this from his first term: "'I never thought leopards would eat my face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party." (Adrian Bott)

A # of problems would have been greatly reduced by white men simply liking themselves instead of measuring their self-worth by the oppression of others. The ideology of white supremacy & patriarchy is a collective self-esteem failure that prevented many people from building a self-worth on merit.

I stand with Ukraine. I never thought the time would come that I'd be so ashamed of the "leadership" of my country. I am sorry, world, though it wasn't my doing.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Chaos is the cheapest ingredient in a revolution. It takes zero effort to destroy things. To sabatoge, throw a temper tantrum, & burn it all down. Chaos agents are weak & have too vapid of an ideology to build a functional system. Revolutionaries who come only with chaos, come with nothing.

I just wish #yall would signal boost the Black people who are telling you this is Jim Crow more than you signal boost the non-black people who are saying it's Nazi Germany. I know why you won't though. . .

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." (J.R.R. Tolkien) God, what a beautiful book.
