For a while I've been (quite slowly) writing a book on resilience, stress & what I call Heart Alchemy. This whole thing going down has lit a fire under me.
Today I got my outline done! & made this to illustrate the main concepts. As a visual thinker that's just my process.
I welcome your thoughts.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

It's inhumane to deprive people of food.
Or affordable medical care.
And certainly not Christian.

Listened to Ruth Ben-Ghiat have a discussion with Steven Hassan, PhD who is a leading expert on cults.

One of his suggestions is that it's always good to lead with kindness, love, and compassion when dealing with cult members.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
