Done what? My friend asked.

Be gentle on yourselves.

You can't save the world.

But once enough of us are in the fight, we will be able to save ourselves. Be patient, mindful, and move with intention.

The realization that you cannot save everyone is the hardest heartbreak an activist or organizer has to deal with.

I still struggle with it sometimes. It brought me to my knees sobbing into a friend's shoulder during a recent failed sweep defense. If only I had been in there, maybe I could have...

All my homies say fuck that guy and it's kinda sus of you to run think tank propaganda as opinion

Imagine dismissing parents advocating for their children's education as "activists" from the paid position of "think tank president."

Who should you trust your child's future with? Should you cast your lot with your neighbors or trust a paid shill for private tax credits?

Easy answer.

"Chris Cargill, president of Mountain States Policy Center, a free market think tank based in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and eastern Washington" is using the Idaho Statesman to run propaganda (masked as an opinion piece) against Idaho families and public education.

He's paid to do this. Nasty stuff.

Idaho mental health clinics sue state over Medicaid contractor’s cuts β€’ Idaho Capital Sun Clinics sue to stop plans by an Idaho Medicaid contractor, Magellan, to cut a critical service for people with severe mental illness

β€œThe team also found that displacement increased a homeless person’s likelihood of dying prematurely… as much as a 25% increase over 10 years.”

β€œWe know more housing is what’s going to solve this problem,” Radu said. β€œThat is the root-cause intervention.”

Have you seen any discussion or analysis about the response or organizing that's happening (and not happening) this time?

We often find ourselves in community discussions about what's needed and not being done locally. Working through this is difficult and important, as is supporting defendants.

15 immigrants released from custody after Idaho raid. What the judge said β€œDetention without lawful justification violates fundamental liberties,” an attorney said.

β€œDozens of district courts across the nation – with more each day – have rejected DHS’s expansion of … mandatory detention to noncitizens already residing here,” Winmill wrote in the 15 decisions, one for each detainee. β€œThis Court joins the overwhelming majority.”

Can't say. Like a cop with a gun in his car before his shift, we have bad impulse control. Will this come back to shoot us in the groin (metaphorically) only time will tell.
