Shift your perception. Move from being overwhelmed by the chaos to noticing the patterns within it. Stop looking for heroes and start looking for the everyday practices of solidarity and refusal that are already happening all around you.

Refuse despair. The fact that domination has to work this hard, has to be this loud, this brutal, this chaotic is not a sign of strength. It’s a sign of its instability. It’s a sign that its legitimacy is eroding. And in that erosion, in that rupture, space opens up for something new to be built.

Refuse the fiction of innocence. The “rules-based order” was never truly just; it always served powerful interests. #ICE has always involved violence and racialized logic. Recognizing this prevents nostalgia for a past that never existed and focuses our attention on the patterns that persist.

Our task is not to repair the irreparable. It’s to organize life and resistance in full view of it. It’s to build new forms of relationship that are not dependent on the validation of the states or corporations that inflict this harm.

Renée Good’s life can’t be returned. The colonial history that makes #Trump believe he can “purchase” #Greenland can’t be erased. The carbon emitted to power #AI data centers can’t be removed. We can’t “fix” these things. Pretending only stabilizes domination with the false promise of resolution.

MN unions understand that if their labor and consumption are required to make the economy run, then the withdrawal of that cooperation is a source of immense power. The planned economic blackout is an act of saying, “Enforcement depends on our acquiescence. We do not acquiesce.”

The Legacy Museum, which is “perhaps the closest thing America has to a national slavery museum,” is free from government control and displays the “history that the Trump administration aims to de-emphasize—if not outright erase,” @clintsmithiii.bsky.social argues.
The Power of Private Museums
The Equal Justice Initiative’s historical sites in Montgomery, Alabama, show what’s possible when history isn’t subject to federal funding cuts or executive orders.

Trump’s tariffs were meant to cripple Chinese trade. Instead, China’s trade surplus hit a record $1.2 trillion as businesses simply pivoted to new markets. The policy failed to achieve its stated goal, forcing the narrative of economic nationalism to confront an inconvenient reality.
