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 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Warnock: "You have compared the CDC's work to Nazi death camps. You have compared it to sexual abusers in the Catholic Church. Do you stand by those statements?"

RFK: "I don't believe that I ever compared the CDC to Nazi death camps."

say what you want about RFK's beliefs but at least he talks normal, has a normal speech pattern and voice, looks normal and has normal mannerisms and also doesn't blink a ridiculous amount when talking. (Watching first clip of him i've ever seen) Wait a tic -

What does it feel like? What does it feel like to know that your inability to sit in discomfort, own your ignorance, and repeatedly refuse to consider the plight of others has put us here?

I firmly believe two things can be true at once.

1. I believe in the power of empathy, kindness, & compassion to change the world & should be extended to every human being, even if that person holds different beliefs from me.
