Remember how Trump cancelled $1 billion in USDA spending on food aid, eliminating that funding to farms? Well, now food banks don’t have enough food. Impoverished seniors are going hungry while nearby farmers scale back production. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

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.

Octavia Butler for family book club? “Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.…To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”

I'm attempting to reset my emotional state.
I remember and want to share this favorite poem.
For me, it captures the need for hope, in spite of a clear-eyed acceptance of reality.
