Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. Every hour, every day, wherever you are positioned, there are things you can do to resist. Take good care of yourself and those around you. Watch for opportunities and seize them. 

We are in a fight—we have to focus—and it is a fight that we can win. 🙏🏾🙂♥️♥️
