Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.
Encouraging to listen to, auditorally soothing, heartening.
What is it the kids these days used to say?
Ah. He's FRONTING.
Flooding the zone is their strategy. They want us off balance, on the "run", or on the defensive, and despairing.
ACTION fends off despair. Pick one thing you will defend strongly. You can CARE about more things , (I'm certainly not the boss of you,) but if you choose one kind of ACTION, it helps your mental health and endurance/resilience.
(I'm calling congresscritters with 5Calls, you do you. )
Keeping your head in YOUR OWN GAME , your family, your community, your interests and joys, keeps THAT LOT OUT of your head.
I love you, let's stay safe out there .
