You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

At its best, the practice of politics is about taking steps that support people in daily life— untethered from the politics of the past and anchored by our shared values— and tearing down obstacles that get in [our] way.” - #PeteButtigieg

This onslaught is designed to keep you anxious.

Don't let algorithms, propaganda, and
theater dictate your emotional state.

Don't spend hours consuming bad news but minutes taking meaningful action.

If it’s not making you more informed, more effective, or more resilient—it’s just noise.

One step.
Then another.
And another.

This is how obstacles fall—not all at once:

Piece by piece.
Action by action.
Challenge by challenge.

We dismantle barriers.

The only way forward is through.

Outrage isn’t a strategy.
Resilience is.
Move with intention.

If you want to make an impact, don’t react—strategize.

The world doesn't need more anxiety; it needs more action.

Be a force of action, not reaction.

"This is the way"

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important.

As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

Your values can suffer from cognitive dissonance & imposter syndrome in this environment.

"They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil... so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness." Marcus Aurelius

Pete Buttigieg once again making a whole lot of fucking sense. We have to protect this guy.

Focus on what's essential.

You can't control when, how, or if a mind changes.

They haven't had the fortune, fervor, or fortitude to know what you know.

Don't waste your time & energy with one-way logic & straw-man arguments.

They're trying to spark a fire; don't give them fuel for the flame.

BREAKING: Latest horror a distraction from many other horrors

There will be more today, tomorrow, and the next day.

Pace yourselves.

This is a 1458 day marathon, and it's all uphill the next 100 days.

Don't start at a sprint. Be steady. Be consistent. Don't let them rope-a-dope you with political theater and hypotheticals.

One day, one issue at a time.

Remember... see it clearly, see it calmy - act decisively. Don't let the sensational stuff distract you. A white South African oligarch who inherented jewel baron blood money and supported Apartheid throwing Nazi salutes isn't surprising. But it makes a good headline.

Stay focused, friends

"Know my thoughts and well wishes are with all of you. We'll get through this; people have survived much worse - famine, plagues, war, often all at once. Have confidence in your agency, worth, and meaning, and how it can make a difference in your life and others."
