Is anybody else feeling like we are falling down a hole we can't climb out of? Anxiety off the charts, but I am working hard to mitigate.

Tomorrow, Jay Kuo will break down Trump’s power grab into three buckets, looking at how successful he’s been at each. Yesterday, Todd Beeton looked at how the entire MO of Trump and his followers has become simply to “own the libs” at every opportunity. Don't miss either piece at The Big Picture.

DnD classes in the resistance:

FIGHTER: front lines, bold action.
CLERIC: provide local goods. support most vulnerable.
PALADIN: protector. use privilege of race/gender/etc. to shield others.
BARD: diplomats. Get the word out-Up v. Down, not L v. R.
WIZARD: intelligence for planning organizing.

Sitting here, I have to tell myself not to become despondent. I must have hope that we can make a difference. I feel so small. I feel afraid. Then, I realized that even a small grain of sand can wear a hole through stone. I may be small and frightened, but I am not alone. We are not alone.

Only community will save us from chaos. Together, we can resist!

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

#tiktokrefugee A roller coaster of emotions. I connected to so many. I have to remember to hold space for myself, be kind and gentle to myself. We are in pain. To anybody hurting too, know that I am with you.

We are more united than we are divided, and we must show our elected leaders that we will not stay silent in the face of threats to our freedoms. RSVP now: benjerrys.co/40iuh1b

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.
