I strongly believe that right now WE are best served by channeling our energies locally and rebuilding our IRL communities, recreating hubs and spaces to organize and fellowship, and establishing networks for resources and mutual aid that aren't reliant on social platforms. That's significant work.

What's been keeping me level headed throughout the madness has been just being outside in community with other people. Seeing people just trying to make a living and make life has helped me sort of zoom out a bit and figure out how I can help make a difference.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

There's never a bad time to execute your ideas & to move from theory to action. This is a particularly good time for this. If you think that you know how to do a thing, do that thing. No permission needed. Try it out.

I just think the FAFO finger wagging is gross. Ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration, people losing access to healthcare etc aren’t such cute “I told you so” moments when you consider that we’re all 1 degree separated from being next in line.

AOC literally doing the Lords work. She lays out the current situation and provides a game plan very clearly. I think there will be a tldr later but honestly didn’t mind watching the entire thing as she’s just so good at inspiring action (and hope!)

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Check in on your neighbors, pack extra blankets in the car just in case. Be giving, make room for others, share the warmth. 🫶🏼

This is very helpful, especially for those of us connected to LA who are frantically trying to keep up with what’s happening with the fires without bugging traumatized family every hour for updates. My heart aches for my hometown ❤️

There is no more important story that needs your attention than the fact that the GOP is trying to steal a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Please watch, share, and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzh1...

If you're not in the path of danger right now, my advice is to figure out how to bring some kindness to this moment. There are many reactions and opinions on offer, most of which are neither helpful nor needed. Kindness, however, is essential right now and will continue to be.
