Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Dismantling the death penalty is a responsibility that belongs to all of us. Inspiring to see how a group of nuns are trying to save women on death row in Texas: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Something I wrote elsewhere but is relevant here, as we start this first full week of February 2025:

"Punching Nazis" is a general category. It includes but is not limited to actual punching. If what you're doing gums up the works for them, makes their lives difficult, frustrates their aims, slows them down, pisses them off, and makes them look like fools, well then, you, my friend, are a steely-eyed Nazi puncher.

A VA psychologist friend reached out today. Her job is at a VA in the heartland. Her job, in my view, is helping veterans with post traumatic stress stay alive. She is one of the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who has been encouraged to resign… open.substack.com/pub/jaketapp...

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
