Before reading, please watch this clip from The Daily Show. This is exactly why we can’t tune out and must participate in creating the America we want to live in.
Since the election, I’ve had my head in the joy cloud of a news and social media-free life, until the LA fires.
I had felt better, more whole, and more peaceful without participating in the media nonsense and clickbait.
Yet, in six days people who care not one drop, mostly narcissistic and egomaniacal mentally unstable white men and billionaires will create laws that determine our future.
So, what do we do?
For one, we care more. We show up with kindness. We open our hearts. We take care of those suffering. Right now, are all those devastated by the LA Fires (link to ways to help out)
We design safe spaces. We become safe spaces. We channel our outrage into productive and healthy action.
Perhaps we spend less (or no time) and money in environments owned by Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos. They don’t care about the truth and are kissing the ring of somebody who wants to destroy Democracy.
And, we must continue pestering our elected officials. We are their employers and they want to keep their jobs. Indivisible has made getting in touch with this incredibly easy.
Confirmation hearings for Trump’s loyalists (who are grossly incompetent, inexperienced, and an assault on Democracy) start today. Here’s the Indivisible link to contact your elected officials. It takes less than 2 minutes. Seems like a worthy use of time.
Thank you friends. Take good care of yourselves and each other. Remember to keep the faith.
In love and gratitude -
