If the point is to overwhelm, the solution is to be calm & find fixes.
If the intent is to misinform, the solution is finding proven trusted sources for information.
If the goal is to isolate, the solution is to find & cultivate community & work together.

Don’t panic, be the solution.

Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
