Advice to my younger self: You’ll lose people you love, but it won’t make you weaker. It will carve depth and truth into you. You can cry, go quiet, laugh again, rest, rebuild. None of it means you loved them any less.

Grief isn’t just death. It’s losing people, safety, versions of yourself, dreams, stability. Younger me thought she had to “earn” her grief. She didn’t. If it hurts, it’s real. If it changed you, it counts. You’re not dramatic — you’re human.

a thing about genocide is that if you stop it before it escalates into full swing, the "sensible centre" will accuse you of overreacting
but if you wait until there is universal approval, they will bemoan the fact that nobody prevented it soon enough to save all those lives

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…
Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Just a reminder:
Intentionally crashing the US economy was right there on the checklist for Project 2025
And we told you
And we were told to shut up, Trump didn’t even know what Project 2025 was (because he said so! He’s so believable. Famous for his veracity!)

People are worried about retirement, but many of us can’t even afford to live right now (so we can’t even think about retirement).
Being able to worry about your retirement because you’re not worried about your current survival in the current moment is a privilege in the world we live in today.

Trump isn’t just playing with fire — he’s lighting the whole damn thing up. Ruining our economy, raising costs for everyday working Americans, causing stock markets to fall, and slapping tariffs on 185 countries.
This is not leadership.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

First Trump removes any reference of diversity from the present — now he’s trying to remove it from our history.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
