Here are 10 crucial reminders about how to bring all of your emotional intelligence to our collective resistance! 💪🏽🧠💪🏽

These are from 7 years ago; we must be more disciplined this time.

Some wise advice circulating:
1. Don't use his name;
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work;
4. Focus on his policies, not his orangeness and mental state;
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
7. Support artists and the arts;
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
9. Take care of yourselves and
10. Resist!

Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor."

When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration," or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves; Republican representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.

The Homestay is listed on Airbnb Open Homes for refugees from the Kincade and other fires, but for the second time in recent weeks, we have no power. Still, the roof and walls are intact and it’s, for now, a refuge from the flames.
