I’ve been trying to figure out who I could look to to let me know when it’s time to fight or flee. It’s you!

I can only imagine how scary the earthquake and the fires must have been for you. I also had a tear in my eye when I read about you going back for Eleanor.

I thought this sentence was spot on about how the fash are exploiting people who feel unheard:

"I don’t blame people for being scared during a scary time. But I see now how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amassed a following of Instagram moms. Take a group of people whose concerns are dismissed or downplayed and fill the gaps where they’re not being served with dis- or mis-information or straight up charlatanry, and people who are just trying to do the best for their families and friends will spread rumors like– well, wildfire."

As regards moving abroad, you might be interested to know that the Lib Dems in the UK have passed policy calling on the government to establish a visa route for highly skilled Americans threatened by the Trump regime.

Glad I’m not the only one. We’ve been stockpiling in the Midwest, not so much for natural disasters but who knows what… avian flu, recession?
