Yes, we have to resist — but we can’t live in panic 24/7.
My friend Gina’s rule: 15 minutes fighting fascism, 15 hours seeking joy.
Joy is an act of resistance.
Refuse to let them take that from you.

It costs the average taxpayer $34 a year to fund SNAP.
It costs nearly $200 a day to detain an immigrant in an ICE camp.
Your tax dollars are paying to detain people without due process instead of providing healthcare, food & housing.
Let that radicalize you.

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
