Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

Republicans just passed the most dangerous bill in U.S. history. The largest transfer of wealth from everyday people to the ultra-rich in history.
In the coming weeks, we're announcing our support for challengers to those who betrayed their communities by voting for this bill.

Tomorrow may not feel celebratory, but as Dr. MLK Jr. advocated, it is more important than ever to hold America and its people to the promise of “the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for all.

This St. Patrick's Day, celebrate the things in you that make you Irish (which we all are today). Read widely, have a pint if you wish, care for one another, and stand with the oppressed wherever they may be. And do it all with warmth, humility, and wit. ☘️ #HappyStPatricksDay

March is Women's History Month, and women are under attack more than ever. We must continue to fight for equal rights, whether that's bodily autonomy or pay equity. Celebrate women by lifting them up and by getting in the fight!

Today is President's Day. Let this be a day of protest and activism! It's a day to honor great Presidents while also acknowledging the shortcomings of others. Our current President is a danger to democracy, and it's up to each of us to fight back.

Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! Sports are great for fostering community + teamwork & for helping people to stay active. Sports should be accessible to ALL. Anti-LGBTQ politicians have introduced + passed laws to ban trans youth from participating in school sports.

Today marks National Freedom Day and the first day of Black History Month. Let us strive to learn our history so that we can continue to evolve from it. The current administration is doing their best to erase Black History as they place blame for everything under the sun on DEI.
