Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Yes - JOY is a form of #resistance!
Finding delight in #nature and #humanity, rather than succumbing to despair, helps us find connection with one another.

Now this is #climate action.

@maddow.msnbc.com there is #JOY in #Resistance
That’s the big truth that needs to shouted from the rooftops. When we come together to protest tyranny and this lawless administration - we turn anger into JOY and that is a remarkable experience that we can share.
