One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

One of the reasons I log into BlueSky, even if it seems like I might be better off just not thinking about the news for a minute, is that I don’t feel as alone when I see all the people who agree.

And we NEED to take away the alone. Those who have been standing up, speaking out & witnessing cannot do that continually. They need to take a break, catch their breath, heal their soul if only a little. WE NEED to have their back, stand with them & stand FOR them when they take a well earned rest.

I keep questioning why I keep posting info about all this on local Faceb””k in my pretty Trumpy area and it’s for this. I want democracy lovers to know they’re not alone. And folks tell me it helps.
