Ever notice how the inner voice that says, "We are powerless. This will never work." gets louder when you feel alone?
That's because loneliness and isolation amplify despair. Community, partnership, and action are the antidote.
Hope is a group project.

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

Good news; a judge has blocked the detention of a technology researcher that the State Department had slated to deport.
However, this is just the start of what will certainly be a longer-term challenge. What can we do about this? A thread.
