Joy IS resistance. 🌻

A thought for today…remember, this is a tag-team marathon. Rest when you need it, but come back fighting. ✨

A quote for today:

“There is naught that you can do, other than to resist, with hope or without it. But you do not stand alone.”

Said by Elrond at The Council of Elrond, in J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two.

“We don’t heal in isolation , but in community.” — S. Kelley Harrell

I would also argue, we don’t survive in isolation.

Do you have your community in place yet? If not, think about who you can call in and who you can support.

Deep breaths. Let’s go. 💙💙💙

Ultra-wealthy elites. Political corruption. Corporate monopolies. Anti-immigrant nativism. Vast inequality.

These problems aren’t new. In the late 1800s, they dominated the country during America’s first Gilded Age.

We overcame these abuses then, and we can do so again.

The challenge is the same as it was at the start of the 20th century: To fight for an economy and a democracy that works for all rather than the few.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Trump wants you to be fearful because he thinks that if you are fearful, you will capitulate, you will give in, you will pull your punches. And if you do that, 2 things will happen. Number 1, you give up your integrity. But number 2, Donald Trump then knows he’s got you."

Happy Monday! I hope you’re having a good day. If you see this post, it’s time for you to do some quick stretches! When I’ve been on my phone a lot, I love the “prayer” stretch (see link), but stretching your arms and rolling your wrists works too! Take care! - Welle
