A group of folks from Indivisible Southern Arizona met the Tucson staffers of Senator Mark Kelly this afternoon to press the Senator to take action about the shuttering of USAID. It was a fruitful meeting, with our group's concerns being listened to respectfully.

We're 18 days into the utter chaos Agent Orange has unleashed. On days when I just can't take one. more. thing. I look at the sky.
And I'm reminded of how big the universe is and take comfort in that vastness.
Steady on, friends.
We shall overcome.

In 1926, noted scholar and historian Carter G. Woodson launched Negro History Week during the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the concept was expanded to #BlackHistoryMonth. /1

We choose our future by what we do today. Be empowered. Be strong. And if you can't be strong, lean on those that love you until you can.

We are in this together.
We shall overcome.

The freeze on Federal Funds affects millions of people. Today, it affected the organization my spouse works for: the American Bird Conservancy. All funds for Fish and Wildlife grants frozen.

Rise up, friends. In the words of John Lewis: It's time to make good trouble.

WE are the resistance.

Today, bereft at all the heedless cruelty unleashed upon our nation, I wept.
And then, the sweet smell of rain in the desert soothed my heart.
Rest in nature. Find refuge there. Take heart.
We shall overcome. Together.

Everything is constantly in motion. Take refuge in the ceaseless display, knowing all things are impermanent. Including this time and all the distressing and injust things.

Idaho woman nicknamed "MAGA Granny", sentenced to 60 days for her role in the Jan 6 Capitol attack, turned down Trump's pardon.

Pamela Hemphill apologized after being sentenced: "I fully regret everything I said & did at the Capitol."
Maybe there's hope for the cult?
