Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

The academic,
who studies politics,
told me the question
he is wrestling with
is “why is everyone
so exhausted these days,”
and though I wanted to say
that perhaps
it has something to do
with people being worn out
from catching Covid
over and over,
instead I said: good question.

Well said, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, and thank you for your rational assessment.
I want to connect the dots.

The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.

A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

Read this great substack by @charlotteclymer.bsky.social, a heartening look into the impressive career of service of @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. I was fortunate enough to see him, along with his wife Gabby Giffords, speak in Cupertino, CA in 2013.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

🎄 Happy holidays. Sorry to ruin the vibes.

+1.5 MILLION disabled adults in two months.

Disability is accumulating because infection is accumulating.

You can pretend it’s over.

As usual, accusing others of what he himself has done.

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL”

A POTUS who incites the overthrow of a free and fair election and spurs his supporters into attacking the U.S. Capitol seems to be the highest level and absolutely seditious.

Good quality masks. Hepa-filters to clean the air. Regular testing. Stay home when sick.

It is not so much the case
that I consider myself to be
Covid conscious or
Covid educated or
a Covid realist or
Covid aware or
Covid informed
so much as that I hope one day
to be able to consider myself
a survivor of the Covid pandemic
and I know
that day has not yet come.
