Extreme anti-public education politicians and their billionaire backers are shutting out the leaders we elect. We refuse to stand by while they undermine our democracy. We will do whatever it takes to protect our students and the futures they deserve.

Some helpful advice!
Also, take this from a physiology researcher who almost died from stress-induced adrenal failure:
Most (all?) of us cannot keep up with crush of news right now. We MUST take physical and cognitive breaks to keep functioning long-term
If that's goofy videos and stupid memes for you? Keep 'em coming

So I guess that's all to say that if you are sharing your grief, joy, fear, etc. on your social media and people are telling you that you shouldn't because there are bigger issues, send it my way instead.
Human communities are built on these "little" things, and we need them now more than ever.
