Grief

Apparently Grief has been my companion (my coach, really) all this time, not Love, not Fear.
It all makes sense to me now, in hindsight, here from the dugout of Acceptance. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Sadness must have been the bases I had to run before making it back home to Rest.

🖋️ “SCOTUS must immediately uphold judicial authority, and protect the rule of law” hit 500 signers!

SCOTUS must immediately uphold judicial authority, and protect the rule of law
Text SIGN PKZEOK to 50409 — The actions of President Trump and his administration in defying the Supreme Court's clear order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador to the United States are an unprecedented threat to the rule of law and the balance of powers. By willfully mischaracterizing the Court's ruling and refusing to provide basic information or take any steps to comply, the Executive Branch has placed itself in open defiance of the Judicial Branch. This blatant disregard for the authority of the federal courts strikes at the very foundation of our constitutional system of checks and balances. If allowed to stand, the President's position that the courts lack any power to compel action related to foreign affairs would effectively nullify judicial review over a vast swath of Executive actions. This radical view of unbounded presidential authority is antithetical to our nation's principles and cannot be accepted. The Court must decisively rebuke this constitutionally dangerous path by promptly exercising its considerable authority to enforce its ruling and reassert the preeminence of the law. Failure to do so would represent an irreversible abdication of the Court's vital role as a co-equal branch of government. Given the gravity of the situation, holding administration officials in contempt for non-compliance appears a necessary and justified initial response. More stringent measures may unfortunately become warranted should defiance persist. The integrity of the American system of constitutional democracy is at stake. Firm action to uphold the Court's legitimacy, affirm the separation of powers, and compel the President's compliance is imperative to avoid a catastrophic institutional crisis.

We don’t need billionaires. We need

- affordable housing
- universal healthcare
- living wages
- clean & reliable public transit
- affordable childcare

Imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top.

We can expect Trump to direct a criminal investigation into Act Blue. From there Trump will target other platforms that raise money for Dems. Like Hitler, Trump and MAGA dream of a "thousand-year Reich." But It's NOT happening on our watch!
Elon Musk is now calling for criminally prosecuting people who donate to Act Blue. Remember that the first group of people Hitler put in concentration camps were political critics. The Nazi saluting Musk wants to see that happen here as well. Resist Musk but all legal means possible

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Not only because they’re removing history and heritage months from their holiday calendars, but also because they track, steal, and sell your data.

What’s your next faithful step?

Is there someone else who should be invited to throw down on this with you?

Real questions I’m asking myself too.

Feel free to share and remember that, in this and every season, not everything should be shared on the internet. 😘❤️✊🏾

Overwhelmed? Totally understandable.

Take a breath. Recall your values.

Based on those values—what can you individually be responsible for in this moment? What are you accountable for in relationship to our collective liberation?

They grumble while they’re doing it, but these two sure take care of each other. There’s a deep, deep love here between my grandparents. It’s palpable.

Trump is not for workers.

He wants to give himself and his billionaire friends major tax breaks, and he wants to take working people’s food, healthcare, and housing to pay for it.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
