When we say "joy is an act of resistance" one of the meanings - not the only one, but an important one - is "you cannot operate on spite and rage forever, you will eventually flare out, having consumed all your fuel and then yourself, you must nourish your soul as well".
I'm gonna go to the caps lock for this: THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WAY TO PREVENT THE EXHAUSTION AND BURNOUT THE FASCISTS ARE RELYING ON YOU TO FALL INTO IS TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO HORRORS, KEEP YOUR ACTIVISM CONCRETE AND EFFECTIVE, AND DO OTHER THINGS WITH AS MUCH FERVOR AS YOU DO ACTIVISM.

It’s been a helluva week. Where are the positives? Who’s making art? Who helped a lost pet get home? Who helped someone reach something on a high shelf at the grocery store? It’s going to be a long haul. We need some positives.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.
