March 4th: Call your congressional reps and senators and ask them to wear blue and yellow tonight to the president's State of the Union address. Easy action but strong visual.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

I organize online, but I show up in person.

We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can.

These are our government representatives, they should be able to walk into a department of our government.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.
