If you're feeling hopeless, please know that millions of people are organizing and fighting back. The best cure for despair is to act, even if you don't feel like it. Engage in some behavioral activation and go to a town hall, a grassroots meeting. Get moving, take action, the hope will follow.
If you're feeling despair right now, this is for you

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams
CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

If you aren't going to bed next to a person, what parts said person has under their garments does NOT affect you!! Trans people just want to live their life and make decisions for themselves, yet the right wants to cry they are the problem? Look in the mirror and get real! #transrights

A conservative man didn’t get his way, so he declared martial law and it took an entire body of politicians to talk him down off the ledge while the world watched.

But tell me more about how women have periods so they are emotional liabilities in executive positions.

The devastation that so many of us felt after the election is something I don't want to feel again. Yet it seems like the party doesn't know how to learn from past mistakes. @sanders.senate.gov is one of the few politicians who have a grasp, IMO. #whatwentwrong #democracy #greatergood

If you truly want to protect women, ask your male counterparts why women can’t even take a jog in daylight hours without the threat of violence?

Use your social media posts to educate ppl on the dangers men pose to women.

Can we start calling posts on @bsky.app "wings"? I want to start telling people I love their wings.
