The right thing to do becomes glaringly obvious when you stop asking, "But what will he do next?" and switch to thinking:

"What can I do right now that will make his harms less damaging? What do people need to keep safe?"

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the pace of your tasks, remember this mantra: ‘Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

Turns out, slowing down doesn't mean falling behind.

Republicans are getting ready to go after our voting rights. The SAVE Act isn’t about election security — it’s about mass voter suppression.

Call your representative and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

And contact your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Stop the SAVE Act

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.

Feeling overwhelmed? It's ok to log off for a while.

Boundaries aren't just for keeping things out; they're also for keeping what matters most in. Protect your peace, and you'll shine for others.

Ever heard of the tortoise and the hare? That old fable holds more truth than we think.

Slow and steady doesn’t just win the race; it makes the journey enjoyable.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

📌 Brand Authority Tip #2:

Ask your sales and customer service reps to start writing down every question they receive. Then tally up the most common ones and prioritize answering them on a blog post or FAQ page. Bare minimum this is great for sales enablement but also longtail traffic too.

Remember, building a personal brand is a journey, not a sprint.

Results often come when you honor your story, trust your timing, and focus on consistency rather than perfection.

Are you celebrating your wins?

Or are you beating yourself up for being unproductive?

Your to-do list isn't the problem.

Your lifestyle isn't the problem.
