The proposed debt cancellation of more than $400 billion would have been one of the most expensive executive actions in U.S. history and affects tens of millions of borrowers.
there is organizing being done for Medicare for All at the state level in a number of places. i’ve been involved in some of that stuff, and its been nice seeing the push for it grow over time and gain ground with legislators. there are also a ton of local LGBTQ+ groups doing neat shit in a lot of cities, giving people resources, helping kids get out of bad situations. something that i like to remind myself of, is that things are bad, but they used to be worse for lots of people, and that’s sorta how its been throughout human history. this is the struggle, and we must always push forwards.
i’d really recommend getting involved in a local political movement, or helping out on a food drive, or even just showing up for some organizing events nearby. or like a mutual aid group. those are cool. that’s how movements on the right got built up to this point (with some help from your friendly neighborhood oil barons!), and its how we win too. it can be difficult when you’re really busy or having mental health difficulties, i know, but it can change how this stuff feels when you’re working towards a goal with like-minded people. seeing how much other people care, contributing to a larger community, can make the burden so much easier to bare.

Well said, thank you :).
