We must fight for our future, but in what way? Calling our representatives doesn't good, i keep calling and emailing and get shit for answers. I'm still trying, but it's exhausting and depressing when you keep getting the same crap answers all the time. Sparkle on ✨️ my friend

Here’s a list of things to read, know, and do:

Write postcards to swing states there are groups for that! Volunteer to help local at risk populations. Join a campaign or a local chapter of Indivisible or MoveOn! Your calls do have impact even if the responses are lame.

You should check out Sharon Astyk on Kofi. I don't think she's on Substack anymore. But I follow her on Meta platforms and she is brilliant. She's also sounding the alarm about the coming socio economic collapse and what we can do as individuals and communities to prepare. She was 110% correct about how the Covid pandemic was going to play out, and now she's making predictions about the H5N1 pandemic that is imminent. I highly recommend checking out her work.

I may be an optimist, but I think that that band of narcissists will end up destroying each other. It has begun with Trump and Elon. Grab the popcorn!

I’m a pragmatic optimist! Always hopeful and happy to see leopards eat each other. But…we can’t just watch the show. I do believe that we have to fight for the future.
