“...what in the holy fuck just happened? I hope you might consider this: what happened is inexplicably incredible. It’s the greatest gift ever unwrapped. Not the deaths, not the virus, but the Great Pause.”

“From one citizen to another, I beg of you: take a deep breath, ignore the noise, and think deeply about what you want to put back into your life. This is our chance to define a new version of normal, a rare and truly sacred (yes, sacred) opportunity to get rid of the bullshit“

“We get to Marie Kondo the shit out of it all. We care deeply about one another. That is clear. That can be seen in every supportive Facebook post, in every meal dropped off for a neighbor, in every Zoom birthday party. We are a good people.”

READ THIS RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW

“And as a good people, we want to define — on our own terms — what this country looks like in five, ten, fifty years. This is our chance to do that, the biggest one we have ever gotten. And the best one we’ll ever get.“

BY GOD READ THIS RIGHT NOW I SAID

“We can do that on a micro (& macro) scale, in what we choose to spend our $ on & where. We can do it locally in our communities, in what orgs we support & what events we attend. And we can do it nationally in our govt, in which leaders we vote in & to whom we give power.”

“If we want cleaner air, we can make it happen. If we want to protect our doctors and nurses from the next virus — and protect all Americans — we can make it happen. If we want our neighbors and friends to earn a dignified income, we can make that happen.”

Christ almighty YES

“If we want millions of kids to be able to eat if suddenly their school is closed, we can make that happen. And, yes, if we just want to live a simpler life, we can make that happen, too.“

THIS Y’ALL. THISSSSS.

That final paragraph is so good I’ve copy/pasted the damn thing here because everyone should read it. I’m afraid ppl don’t click links and actually read it all. So here’s the end:

“But only if we resist the massive gaslighting that is about to come. It’s on its way. Look out.”
