I started to prepare for 2026, but the thought that "Blue Wave!" fails is so preemptively humiliating that the only logical conclusion was to roll over and let the fascists ride on through 2028. I truly wish I could help or do anything at all but I'm safer here on the couch! Besides, The Capitalists rigged it all anyway. I think if I feel bad enough for anybody who isn't as safe and I starve, deprive, and isolate myself then I can make up for my own sense of helplessness.

    Take heart, as long as there are people who are willing to stand against tyranny and fascism, there will always be hope. Every one of us, even the strongest of us, sometimes need to take some time off to recover - take all the time you need. Be with your loved ones, hold on to them tightly, and share your love as widely as you can. Spread love among your friends and co-workers as best you can. I know it sounds extremely corny, but love, and fighting for who we love, is how we will win.

    We can’t vote our way out of this, but we can build a better future outside of the system and do everything we can to resist the state. That means that we might be left with no choice but to take risks and make sacrifices in the hope that the world we leave behind might start moving in the right direction.

    Stay strong and hang in there. I love you, no matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you’ve done.
