Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

Last thing, people don't actually know 'what will have an effect.' They simply do not. Do what you believe must be done within your capacity and do it with others. Be an agent rather than a pundit.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Foreign aid is less than 1% of the federal budget. General James Mattis once told Congress, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.” USAID’s work prevents conflicts before they require military intervention.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Books are humanizing; social media is radicalizing. Books may appear passive, but they are energizing. Social media may appear active, but it numbs and stupefies.

I know we always feel like we are powerless in red states, but we have power. Thousands of us need to be calling and emailing about the federal freeze. The onus is on red state governments who support this. If you’re in a red state, now is the time to stand up call. Email. Show up at their office.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country. It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Most (56%) Black people in the United States live in “the South.” With all we know of the racism built into America’s justice system (“War on Drugs,” policing, prosecution, incarceration, etc), it’s no surprise a map of INCARCERATION RATES BY STATE looks like this. Caging Black people is the point.

Honestly, the killing of Brian Thompson makes me sad to be an American. Such a sick confluence of broken systems: the cruelty of the healthcare industry, what their money has done to our politics, and the disgusting proliferation of guns in our society. American exceptionalism of the worst kind.

It's odd to me that people think this news makes the attitudes expressed recently errant in some way. I think those sentiments and righteous outrage toward a system of corporate overlords who decide whether we live or die is important, regardless of who this individual guy is. That stirring matters.
