We started weeks ago, too. I sent the CEO a pic of my new Costco card with a little note about why we would not be shopping at Target anymore. His email is brian.cornell@target.com

White women are so used to being rescued by white men that now that you need to be rescued FROM white men, you are looking for a new hero. There are about 100 million white women in the US, and only about 22 million Black women. Everyone needs you to grow up and be your own heroes.

When Black leadership gets labeled as ‘help,’ it perpetuates a costly blind spot in how companies value contributions from professionals of color.

America married an abusive narcissistic partner. He isolates you from friends, tears down your self esteem, gaslights you into thinking you deserve it. In a depression you’re less like to protest. In the meanwhile, while you’re broken to pieces, they sell the crown jewelery.

I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too?

1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there.

One of the wealthiest Romans ever, Marcus Licinius Crassus, made some of his money by owning a private firefighting service (there were no public ones). You're house would be burning and he'd show up and offer to put out the fire if you sold him you house for cut rates.
Some wealthy property owners in California are hiring private fire crews, which can cost thousands of dollars a day. Demand for private firefighting has been rising as wildfires have grown in ferocity and frequency over the past several decades.
