My Grade 8 students did an artifact project where they had to share an artifact from the year and reflect on its importance, as well as just reflect on the year in general. And adults, I’m here to tell you that teenagers don’t see this pandemic the way you think they do.

I think folks underestimate how much an attitude of defeatism alienates those who are already feeling overwhelmed, powerless & desperate for any sign of progress. It’s prob better to build upon ppl feeling hopeful by explaining how we go further vs simply deflating their energy.

With love— I encourage leftists everywhere to spend less time & energy assuming the worst possible outcome in every situation & instead put that time & energy toward supporting those who are working their asses off to organize people in your local communities.

Unity is about doing things that the American people want to see us do. Like a $ 15 an hour minimum wage. Like canceling student loan debt. Like expanding social security. Like universal child care and universal pre-K.

Personally I am glad we spend a year not acting on a pandemic to preserve an institution that was destroyed in less than 24 hours by Reddit users

MAGAs: Parkland & Las Vegas were false flags. Hang Mike Pence. Stop the steal

Progressives: We need a living wage, healthcare, climate justice, & accountability for the deadly insurrection

NY Times: 12 page feature on MAGAs feeling left out b/c Progressives won’t compromise

My partner sent me this post and it really really helped me reframe how I think about how I live my life as a person with chronic/mental illness

Addressing systemic racism is not about having conversations. It’s about changing policies that create and continue to cause racial and economic disparities.

One thing I can’t stop thinking about is how the pandemic could have been a chance to reimagine so much. Education, housing, tech. But instead powerful people crushed us to keep things the same at all costs.
