I know y’all are as pissed off as I am.
I need to ask a favor.
Do something kind for a stranger today.
Hear me out please.
Can be simple as complimenting the person at the check out counter. A smile at a stranger on the street. Anything.
We need more smiles.

When JB was first elected, I had very low expectations. Nevertheless, he has turned out to be one of the strongest voices in the fight for our democracy. So grateful for our governor.

When she demanded an explanation, the lawyers said their "artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question."

Engaging your officials is critical, but if you want to take the next step: have a conversation with someone that isn’t civically engaged. Educate them on what’s going on. Resistbot victories from 2017-2021 came through opposition that expanded outward from the resistance.
