When the state of the country gets too heavy, do good!
Our school garden club, spent the afternoon picking up trash on our campus.
Positive action and building community helps to combat the feelings of doom and overwhelm.

I hate that I have to do this. I wish there was more I could do.
Today I am cutting up "red cards" so my students know their rights.
Students were so anxious today, and rightly so. ICE has NO place in public schools.
Sip responsibly from social media, donβt chug.
Sleep.
Hydrate.
Check on each other.
Take care not to spiral.
Breathe.
Invest in mental health.
Find a marathon pace.
Focus on leveraging power.
Keep proximity to community.
Share what works to keep you ready and able to resist and assist your people
The Resistance is strong!
#Resist
BREAKING: The convicted felon who incited this January 6th insurrection just took an oath that he has no intention of keeping.
Today is a day of mourning for America.

On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

"Yet we were still not worried. Of course we had heard of Fascists, but it was all in the abstract."
"Soon it was all people talked about. But not for long. Optimism soon revived: Germans will not come this far."
"In less than 3 days... they appeared on our streets."
Night p.9 by Elie Weisel

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.
Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.
"One thing is certain: If young people do not begin to make history, politicians of eternity and inevitability will destroy it. And to make history, young Americans will have to know some." @timothysnyder.bsky.social
Read as many books as you can!!!! I highly recommend this one.
