Democratic resistance works best when it’s SMART:
Specific goals. Measurable impact. Achievable action. Realistic scope. Time-bound pressure.

Outrage is a spark — SMART action is the engine. 🔥🗳️

Science is clear: real rest isn’t checking out—it’s active rest (movement, creativity, connection) that rebuilds us. That matters politically too. To be ready for the fights ahead, we have to recharge with intention—democracy needs energized people, not exhausted ones. ❤️
Why Active Rest Is Important During the Holidays
Sleep is often the first thing that many people associate with rest, but humans also require restorative downtime when awake

1/3:
The Supreme Court used some backbone and has made a massive ruling striking down Trump's deployment of national guard. Supreme Court ruled: Trump lacked the authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard to execute laws in Illinois.

Trump’s response: defund the scientists who study atmospheric rivers.

This gave us a good laugh, hope y'all laugh too.

Do y'all remember the movie, Groundhog Day? (It released in 1993! 😮 32 years ago, whaaat? 🤔). If you haven't seen it, totally worth the watch...

The mayor of Lincoln, CA used polarizing rhetoric in a student setting, and that matters. Schools should be spaces where kids feel safe and included—not divided by adult politics. Leaders speaking to students have a responsibility to model respect, care, and inclusion.

Trump: “28,000 people die every year in Peru from a viper bite. Most poisonous snake in the world. Venom rarely works.”

Fact-check: Nope. Snakebite deaths in Peru are closer to 6 per year, not 28,000. And the venom? It definitely works—antivenom is what saves lives.

Lately, it feels like our public conversations jump straight to passion before we ever get to the facts. Passion has its place; it’s what drives us to care, to act, to show up. But when passion replaces facts instead of building on them, meaningful debate disappears.

The Trump administration talked tough on trade, slapped tariffs that hit farmers hard, and then chickened out on real farm policy. Instead, they scrambled together a $12 billion bailout — a move the New York Times reported as a short-term patch rather than a long-term fix.
