Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

PSA: for those who get their worldview from FOX/NewsMax/Breitbart/etc.. a coup is happening-if it succeeds you lose freedom. These media are lying to you. EVERY actual news source on the planet is 🆘 So 🛑reveling in whatever you think you’ve won- we will ALL lose- everything- if we don’t 🛑 it! 🤔

Always relevant.

Signed.

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER
