Today is Wednesday June 3. We're still suffering under covid-19, and quarantine or shelter in place. There are rioters in the streets getting beaten and shot by police for asking the government and the police to stop beating, shooting, and killing American citizens without an arrest or trial.
And in six months and a couple of days, the USA is having its next presidential election, gods willing.
Here's what we need to do between then and now.
1. Stay alive and as mentally healthy as we can. Art, stories, encouragement, therapy, let yourself cry.
2. Protect ourselves and our loved ones as best as we can. Masks, food, music, hope.
3. Fight back against the upswell of increased fascist activity at the federal level. Learn about Black history and Black Lives Matter
4. Work to get mitch mcconnell out of the senate. Amy mcgrath donations.
5. Work to register voters and convince them to vote. Blue, if at all possible.
6. Identify misinformation and disinformation campaign and share that knowledge.
7. Protect the right to vote at ALL COSTS. Learn about impediments to the vote and where this is a problem, support folks fighting to keep their right to vote.
8. Volunteer, donate, protest or document where you can. Support those doing these things if you're unable to.
9. Never forget that you have the power to enact change. We work together, we can change the world, literally.
10. Lose heart if you must, despair if you must. But not PERMANENTLY.
THIS IS ENDGAME. TRUMP IS A TIN POT DICTATOR WANNABE, AND WE CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.
