If you know someone too overwhelmed by the news to engage with the idea of collective action, my little newsletter may be just the thing. Give it a share if you think it may help.

I made a little newsletter for overwhelmed or discouraged folks looking to re-engage with democracy without getting pulled under. 3 sentences of bad news. 3 sentences of encouraging news. 3 things they can actually do. 3x a week. Do you know someone who needs a way in? Let's get them on board!

Tell Your Senators: Reject the SAVE Act The SAVE Act could block millions of American citizens from voting.

Last week, lawmakers in both the House and Senate renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, introducing multiple new versions of this awful bill that could prevent more than 21 million Americans from voting. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote:

We must keep going, doing what little we can. Doing somethingβ€”anythingβ€”counts.

If anyone says our efforts aren’t that effective or impressive, we say eff off and keep going anyway.

When we can do more, we do more, but we always keep going.

You do not need to traumatize yourself to be a better person, a better activist, to better oppose the people and forces engaged in this murderous evil. You just need to know it's happening and take action.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Hi there. I went and stood on an overpass today and it turns out that radical left scum are mostly just ladies of a certain age who are organized (like, with Ziploc bags and wagons) and good at showing up.

So don’t be scared to show up yourself.

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash.

see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing.

organize your niche.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.
