Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

So like many of you, I have been thinking about what I can do. I already support voter turnout and reproductive rights organizations. I am sure I will be called to do more. But this month, I can stop giving 85% of my money to the oligarchs and right wing retailers. Whatever you can redirect helps

What's incredible is how there are thousands - tens of thousands - of stories like this, a genuine national crisis akin to a foreign invasion, and our elite press is so bubbled, so insular, that they can only cover it by writing "Strong leaders flex governing muscles" 700 times over. Pathetic.

Being shoved into a locker by a bully while you were minding your own business reading a standard atlas may be upsetting to some, but shut the fuck up about it loser.
