Hey Molls. Here are a couple of things I read recently, which you may find helpful. I don't think there's an easy playbook of "just do this," but a toolkit of principles:

10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won
The key to taking effective action if Trump wins is to avoid perpetuating his goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

Just reupping this on my main page so I can make it my new pin. For everyone who is ready to move past grief & into the rightful anger that will power us to stand against the worst to come in meaningful ways:

[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There has long been enough evidence to indict and the slow release is intended to 1) further torment Epstein victims 2) get Americans used to child rape by elites 3) flaunt impunity, since there have been no meaningful consequences for perpetrators 4) arrive right when AI casts everything in doubt.

Hm. If we do 20/40 we can start it off by adapting 'The Jungle,' and tell the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire story in there, too…
Now would be a great time for a 10 episode, 20 hour prestige series about the ten years between 1916 and 1926, covering the establishment of the 8-hr work day & 5-day work week, in the US. Each episode would be one year & the middle episode should be entirely devoted to the Battle of Blair Mountain.

You know, if you tell me “order now for delivery tomorrow.” And then keep revising the delivery date forward one day, day after day, until you are now telling me my order might not come until the 26th, you better hope it comes by the 24th or this is the last time I ever do business with you.

Usual reminder: decisions like this don't mean that AI can do the job of a human translator; they mean that some C-suite creature who is basically a LinkedIn profile wrapped in ham and an expensive suit has decided it provides an alibi for paying human translators less money for less rewarding work.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

How soon do we think this degrades into something that more resembles the Hunger Games. Young athletes from across the country, competing to see... which ones get to keep their healthcare for another year? Which ones' immigrant parents won't be arbitrarily deported?

States need to push back hard here. ICE is saying Real ID isn't valid because some states extend it to those lawfully present and now a state issued birth certificate is deemed insufficient, in this case Maryland. This is very dangerous.

Never stop talking about how one of the richest men in the world killed a bunch of children living in poverty.
NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.
