This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.
Tomorrow, we win it together.

And when you are unkind to yourself, when you rend your spiritual garments saying, "I'll never do enough! I must do more," you tell those nearest you they aren't doing enough and that demoralization is poisonous. You're trying, right? It's enough. Internalize kindness so others feel it too.
my experience is that it helps to understand deeply that all the kindnesses you pay yourself are also kindnesses to the people close to you. a lot of things fall into place once you really internalize that
