We hit the iceberg. Some of us may survive this but it’s going to be and already is a catastrophe.
If you were on the Titanic, who would you have been? Would you have survived? I know me—I would have been in that string ensemble, doing my job.

This feels like Germany 1933 but for those Germans who genuinely opposed the takeover the only option was to flee. Some stayed and survived. How? And how can we emerge from this nightmare when there is no US to rescue us?

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
