Meditate today, even just for five minutes.
Then afterwards, if you’re feeling unsafe in this world, take one action to aid the safety of someone who is less safe than you.
We get through this together.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

When you literally erase vulnerable communities from the law, call them villains, and preach for their dismissal, of course people will feel emboldened to make decisions about their physical existence on this earth.
