Sometimes a problem stumps me and I'm not even sure where to begin resolving it, and then I calmly remind myself:
All of human civilization developed because someone had no idea where to even begin but did so anyways. I don't need to have the answers now, I just need to be willing to work for them.

Pope Leo has condemned ICE more than a dozen times—and wept after hearing migrants describe the terror they endured. Now, after ICE killed a widowed American mother, it’s clear: no Catholic can remain in ICE.

You need to be willing to plant trees knowing you will never sit in their shade
oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term
