This self-declared “Queen of Hope” has felt a little wobbly lately.
One thing that’s really helped has been reading books with “Hope” in the title. Not sappy little feel good books, but ones that take an honest look at the world in which we live and come up hopeful in spite of it.

Look at this leader. Lift her up.
Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

DOGE is hiring. The response did not disappoint.
DOGE’s hiring site has become a focal point for outrage, underscoring the important role humor and rebellious defiance play in bleak times.

Flood this #SnitchLine: defendingwomen@opm.gov
Example: Defend women by getting rid of the sexual predator in the White House.
Or: I'm not afraid of non-binary folks. I'm terrified of what this admin is doing to our federal agencies.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The strongest and bravest words I think I've ever heard from anyone in the media (I don't even watch CNN):
I'm printing these words out, and placing them in my wallet, so that I never forget them:
“Don’t give into the lies.
Don’t give into the fear.
Hold onto the truth and to hope”
Jim Acosta

I've been seeing a lot of posts about readers trying to curb their own book buying. Let me remind you of the library. Libraries can use your support now more than ever. When you checkout library books this lets funding authorities know the library is worthy of taxpayer money. 1/3

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.
