For a while I've been (quite slowly) writing a book on resilience, stress & what I call Heart Alchemy. This whole thing going down has lit a fire under me.
Today I got my outline done! & made this to illustrate the main concepts. As a visual thinker that's just my process.
I welcome your thoughts.

Time for 25th Amendment and removal from office; this is unhinged and demonstrates how unfit for office he is not to mention out of touch with reality.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

💥 They are speaking to the military with absolute clarity. Illegal orders can and must be refused.
And when Trump is reposting calls to “hang” Democratic lawmakers, their message becomes even more urgent.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

“We are up against decades of organized, strategic investment in power by the right; that means our response has to be just as organized, strategic, and long-term.”
From me in the @thenation.com: The left needs to think beyond just winning the next election and build the kind of connective tissue that will allow us to win the next ten. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
The Left Must Build Its Infrastructure
We need to look not at what it will take to win the next election, but what it’ll take to win the next 10 elections.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
