This is a beautiful post. Thank you. The journey for me from terror-and-uncertainty to fear-uncertainty-solidarity-and-resistance has been a fairly quick one, when looked at in terms of my lifetime. It is thanks to the excellent perspectives, caring, community-building, and reporting on our actions and victories, from you and other Substack writers that I have developed the courage to get out to rallies, to meetings, to phone banks, to making banners and so many signs. I feel better on weeks when there's something concrete I can do, rather than reading all the terrible news. And there's something to be done every day! So it's just a matter of gauging whether it's a self care day or a fix this f-ing nightmare day. Today is self care.
