The change we seek is within us, how we treat our neighbors, how we reach out to help those in need, and our ability to expand our empathy and compassion beyond what we ever imagined possible.

I know we have it in us to rise to this challenge and to create the communities and change we want to see.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

If you're not in the path of danger right now, my advice is to figure out how to bring some kindness to this moment. There are many reactions and opinions on offer, most of which are neither helpful nor needed. Kindness, however, is essential right now and will continue to be.

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction
