But the idea that you, as an individual, can solve the world’s problems is bullshit. You do not need to solve the world’s problems.
You just need to see a problem that you can solve and try to solve it, and then that’s one less problem.
If lots of us do that, it’s a lot less problems.

Delivering some apple cider scones to some neighbors because we live in a goddam neighborhood, part of a society, and that’s how you do it, despite all the everything that’s bad out there right now.

Will that be uncomfortable? Maybe. Will there be consequences? Almost certainly. But there are consequences, too, to doing things you know to be wrong, to allowing wrong to be done without speaking up. If you let your principles corrode, it decays you from the inside.

At a certain point each of us is going to have to decide when to stop complying. When to say no, that's too far, my morals won't let me do that. When to say: I refuse to simply follow orders.
Students, be aware that you can’t depend on UNC’s administration to protect you from ICE. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
UNC-Chapel Hill will ‘comply’ if ICE seeks students on campus, chancellor says
Schools and colleges are no longer considered “sensitive” spaces protected from immigration officials, under a new directive from the Department of Homeland Security.

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, and said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”
