For a while I've been (quite slowly) writing a book on resilience, stress & what I call Heart Alchemy. This whole thing going down has lit a fire under me.
Today I got my outline done! & made this to illustrate the main concepts. As a visual thinker that's just my process.
I welcome your thoughts.

“We are up against decades of organized, strategic investment in power by the right; that means our response has to be just as organized, strategic, and long-term.”
From me in the @thenation.com: The left needs to think beyond just winning the next election and build the kind of connective tissue that will allow us to win the next ten. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
The Left Must Build Its Infrastructure
We need to look not at what it will take to win the next election, but what it’ll take to win the next 10 elections.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
