I told Irvin we need to watch it. I've only heard good things.

Here are some COINTELPRO-style tactics we all need to watch out for.

Note: *the people who do these things are probably not federal agents! They probably mean well!!* But their good intentions do not protect against the damage these tactics do:

"I am not an earth nor an adjunct of an earth,
I am the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and fathomless as myself,
(They do not know how immortal, but I know.)"
Walt Whitman, Song of Myself

It's so important to let people know that they are seen and not alone.

I've had some great conversations in unlikely places about how scared people are and giving each other recommendations on how to not feel so powerless. I've talked to people about their mental health and what they look forward to in the day, thanked kids for how they choose to help out others.
