Today, in Understory (a support group for activists that I co-facilitate), we talked about the writing exercise I created to help folks get oriented for the year ahead. I don't think we can balance caring for ourselves, tending to our relationships, and taking action by accident in these times.

It was pretty telling that a Seattle Times column about tech salaries included a median income chart that had "law enforcement officer" at the third-highest income—and that includes all law enforcement jobs (not just police) and does not reflect the latest large raises for cops.
Tech pay soars in King County — and the gender gap grows wider
The median earnings for tech workers residing in King County hit $163,600 last year, an increase of around $63,000 since 2015, writes FYI Guy.

fellas, is it good when the ruling party requires public institutions to recruit for ideological youth cadres
New: Gov. Greg Abbott and Turning Point USA are launching a partnership to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every Texas high school campus.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools
Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.
