Steps taken this week to unf*** my life: Started an antidepressant (prescribed for arthritis pain); reminded myself I have to take iron daily or I canβt function; downloaded Ecosia for my default browser.

Screenshot of details of mutual aid request:
Moot aid request for school stuff and groceries!!
$15 needed for testing
$25 needed for a few supplies
$50-100 needed for groceries
Hi everyone! I start class on Monday, all onlineβ so I need a few supplies to get me through. Iβm also retaking my placement tests on Monday, to see if I can test out of my some of my prerequisites needed for my program, and that is 15 buckaronis. All of our paychecks have gone to bills and rent and we are still behind, and havenβt been able to budget for the small things.
We are needing help with groceries too, between gluten free prices going up, and general groceries going up in price as well, and lack of benefits, our pockets have been feeling it. Looking to get some comfort food and drinks for my studying tooπ₯Ήπ«Άπ½

I finally got to watch Rep. Zoe Zephyrβs recent testimony on a drag bill in Montana. Very movingβ and then a GOP rep stood up to support Zephyr, and used traditional conservative talking points (parents rights, etc.) to argue down the bill. State legislatures are where the action is!

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

You donβt have to have every answer. Doing what you can is critical.
We need fuckloads of people doing okay at and trying to getting better at fighting facism. We need every person we can get to be the bystanders intervening.
Break the surface tension. This isnβt normal. Say so. Act like it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
