This. Think outside of government & make something new & better & more effective. πŸ–€

Imagine a world where elected officials β€’ are capped at 10yrs in office β€’ required to use the same health insurance as us β€’ cannot serve in office past the age of 60 β€’ cannot own/buy/sell stocks or accept PAC/lobbyist money β€’ required to hold in person town halls w/ constituents monthly

My teenage nephew is visiting & he makes every inconsequential decision by flipping a coin. Can't decide where to eat? Top two choices get a coin flip. Choosing between two shirts he wants to wear? Coin flip. As a person who gets intense decision fatigue... 🀯🀯🀯

β€œThere’s always a thing you can deny an oppressor, if only your allegiance. Your belief. Your co-opping. Often even with vastly unequal power you can find or force an opening to fight back. In your time, many without power found ways to fight. Until that became a power.” β€” Marge Piercy

You know that thing folks in power do where they state misinformation aggressively like it's fact? It's not that they believe their lies, it's that they're ✨manifesting✨. And it works β€” not because manifesting is magic, but because people imagine the reality of their statements & act accordingly.

Empathy makes us kind & compassionate. It makes the world a better place, but it only Works with mutual effort. Recognize when & where that energy is being rejected & act accordingly. Kindness takes herculean effort & some folks need to be reminded that kindness & respect aren't reserved for them.

Silence will not only not save you, it puts every-single-one of us at risk. We have to resist the urge to try to calm the waves. We're not the boat β€” WE'RE THE WAVES.

We all know silence serves the oppressor, but so does our apathy & inaction. We can't do everything, but we can all be loud & do SOMEthing. Talk to EVERYONE you know IRL about what's happening. Lean into your passion & expertise. Call or email your legislators. Just keep going. πŸ–€

In conclusion, girls and young women are not going to be dimming their light and they will not be returning en masse to the "home." That's not going to happen. Young men have to definite a masculinity for themselves that is not about domination and oppression.

So many resources here! Every one is a gem. πŸ–€
