Jimmy Carter made a point nearly 5 years ago about China and the US. We would do well to focus on building our country, not controlling others. To quote an old spiritual: "we see our neighbor and we judge them hard, but we'd better look around in our own backyard."

What kinds of protest can we orchestrate that will have the most impact on the government while being something people can do no matter where they are?

DEFEND INSTITUTIONS

👉🏼Institutions will not automatically defend themselves. They need to be defended.
👉🏼Many reasonable people assumed in Germany in 1933, as many do now, that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot destroy them. This assumption was wrong.

It’s ok to log off and find some peace instead of arguing with very-online people about future elections. There’s so much work ahead of us. You don’t have to fight fires on a platform designed to make you mad. Take a nap. Go outside. Be with friends. Let hate sit alone.

Good morning!

Happy Tuesday.

Be kind, be decent, but don't take a drip of shit from anyone.
Rise, shine, and have the day you need.
