The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

I got an email from a garden supply company with the subject line, "Prepare your soil!" but I read it as, "Prepare your soul!" and thought, "holy crap, what's happening?" But honestly, preparing soil is good for the soul too."

After all that time, at the very end, Senator Booker gave one of the greatest speeches in the history of our country. AND THEN WENT BACK TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED HIM AND KEPT THE BUILDING OPEN. What a good American! What a good role model! Such good trouble.

While walking the dogs I heard a trumpet riff so wild, triumphant and enthusiastic that I texted my husband to tell him an absolutely incredible musician must live somewhere on our street. Then I walked around to the other side of the block and realized it was a carpet installation machine.

I was trying to explain someone being in A MOOD and could only think of my grandmother's expression for it, which was having one's "bowels in an uproar." If I got upset about something she'd say, "Don't get your bowels in an uproar!" In a glum mood she'd tell me "Keep your pecker up."

Why do this? Because the more people who participate, the more effective it will be. Because giving people a taste of our collective power helps us build toward bigger actions in the future. Because activism is a muscle and organizing is a skill and this is a fine place to begin.
