Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Taking care of yourself is crucial for being able to continuously show up, speak out, and take action - burnout is so real and we need sustained action. For me that means taking weekends whenever possible to drive into nature and stay there for a bit ✨

What helps you recharge?
