"Activism is a daily act of love."

When one feels despair, it's good to have a place to turn for a gentle, positive reminder. Thanks for all you do. Big hug my friend.

Trump aka The Fapweasel, is a bully. He gets his jollies out of making people afraid of him, and we should not play into that, but stand up to him instead!

Amen, life is about growing and bringing more to others--not about success measured by walls, bringing others down below your quality of life, and protecting what you believe you “deserve.”

Completely agree, Laurie! I refuse to live in fear or give in or give up! Let's turn that fear and anxiety into action, coming together and doing all we can to help each other, make things better for each other and save our democracy!

Agreed! We need to continue to plan for holidays, vacations, moves, jobs, etc. We can't let these people stop us from living. At the same time, take action, grow stronger and healthier, stay informed, learn, find support groups, and help others.

My family is still saving and planning for vacation to Hawaii and Paris. But also, we're prepping with food, water, supplies, saving money and making to-go bags . I talk to my friends and we help each other by talking about how we feel and sharing what we learn.
