Sometimes doing nothing is doing something. So for those of you feeling like you don’t have the energy to fight, here’s a way you can just sit on your ass, DO NOTHING, and be part of the resistance. PASS IT ON.

It’s not as bad as we thought it was going to be. It’s way worse and not even two weeks in. Do not panic. Ask yourself, “What would Barbara Jordan do?” She would tell you:
Never forget THE COMMON GOOD.
Sensible shoes always make things less worse.

Molly was my friend and mentor. She died on this date in 2007. She was the one who said, of a republican speech, “It probably sounded better in the original German.” Still true today. MORE true today.

In honor of all the money I’m not spending at amazon anymore, and to thank @democracyforward.bsky.social for filing the suit that halted the bullshit funding shutdown, I donated $100. I get a bigger dopamine hit clicking DONATE TO STOP FASCISM than clicking COMPLETE MY ORDER FOR MORE CRAP on amazon.
