We can’t wait to do big things to #resist. Start where you are and do what you can. If all you can do is love your peeps and make it through the day with your head held high, do that! As AOC attests, no act of kindness is ever wasted—spread the love we all need. Serve the people not the king.

Maybe New Mexico can use its meth to fight it while Texas shoots it with all their guns. In a properly functioning response the 5 counties it’s spread to whorls have been locked down by now with restricted, monitored travel in and out. But mah freedoms! Dumb fuckers
