If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

If you oscillate between cautious stuttering optimism and "we're all so totally effed", I'm right there with you. We were not meant to process this constant deluge of horrors. It's enough to make anyone's light flicker momentarily. Lean into your power, draw strength from community.

Oh dear.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is looking like a good basis for a system of government, because then maybe, just maybe, women’s rights would be embraced and respected.
