Pledges that mean something.
Inclusivity not authoritarianism.
Redistribution, not trickle-down.
Public ownership of essentials.
Public welfare over corporate welfare.

had my coffee, washed the floor, and went to the workout.
Yes, still very cold in the gym.

But you know, life… life goes on.

Some people ask, ʼHow can I help? What do you need?ʼ
And one person just wrote, ʼI sent you this, this, and this.ʼ
