Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.

And even worse Elon who was not elected but seems to have the ultimate power after buying himself the WH seat is very heavily involved in this. He has access to U.S. financial and other systems that contain sensitive info. Who is this going to be sold to?

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

We Are on Our Own

From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

If you haven’t already started, flood your representatives with phone calls and emails asking for the immediate REMOVAL of Elon MUSK from having ANY ACCESS
to the inner workings of our government.
There is a hostile takeover actively happening in our country and we’re all watching it happen.

If you’re struggling with difficult emotions around the state of the world, you aren’t alone. Here I share some thoughts & a practice that’s supporting me so much right now. You don’t need to have any experience with meditation or mindfulness to benefit; just a little time and some curiosity. ❤️‍🩹🙏
