Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Close gatherings over the Thanksgiving holiday could cause an uptick in emergency room visits due to a trio of respiratory illnesses that typically rise this time of year, as well as a new mutation of the common flu that doesn’t respond to this year’s flu shot.

Oh yes!
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.
This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.
As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.
