Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Markers and Shrines
A poetic exploration of how we carry the past forward: reshaped but never broken. In Markers and Shrines, Margot Schilpp traces the moments that define usβthe losses that strip away our former selves ...

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side
In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action.
Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

Elon Musk has purchased $40M on a series of Superbowl ads attacking USAID. Watch this ad, which tells the truth, instead.

Occasionally I recognize that no matter how invested I am in a poem or in family and friends' lives or in political events, I won't necessarily live to see the ends of all those stories.
