Feminism is my second favorite f-word. Fascism is my least favorite.
Combine the best with the worst, (add in feminism for good measure), and you get a mission.

American men are killing women.
Out of 2,410 women killed by men, 87.5% knew their killers, and 66% were shot. Misogynistic rhetoric, extremist cabinet picks, and Project 2025's patriarchal agenda threaten to escalate violence against women. We must stand united and resist this dangerous regression.

The 2025 4th of July isn’t going to feel great. It’s on a Friday, which is at least helpful for planning. Know any groups organizing any actions? Protests in cities? Protests at any “deportation camps” or building sites? I know it’s just 1 day/weekend, but it seems like an opportunity not to miss.

Niceness is quiet & tries not to make waves. It tolerates the unacceptable to avoid discomfort.
Kindness is authentic & action-oriented. It doesn’t care about “politeness,” but a concern for others & what is right.
“Don’t talk about politics” is nice.
Addressing the consequences of politics is kind.

To scare you into silence. Into compliance.
To make you avert your eyes as he undoes what took over two centuries to build. For fear of his retribution.
There is a fine line between fear and fury.
So when you look at what he's trying to do. How he's trying to make you feel.
Let it be fury.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Bureaucracy is complex, especially in a country as large as the United States. As a policy advocate in DC for close to two decades, I saw multiple examples of people coming in claiming inefficiencies and trying to make drastic changes to Departments and Bureaus.

Anger isn’t good or bad. It’s human. It simply is.
Anger can teach and transform. It can be used as a touchstone for strength and resolve. If processed and channeled, it can fuel us in constructive ways.
