As I was perusing social media, I stumbled across Cezary Jan Strusiewicz pondering why he was suddenly thinking about the 1917 Russian Revolution. A mystery, that.
While starting this post, I went looking for a meme I thought I'd posted here before, but I can't find it. Did I post it here before? I don't know for sure...
Yeah, so everything's a mess. And getting worse. I'm not sure where the ugly bill is with regards to becoming law, and I can't watch. I just can't watch. Hearing about how many people have already died due to cuts made in international aid and how many people are going to die when they lose food support and healthcare is just gutting me. And that's only one of the myriad things the regime is forcing through.
I keep hearing about this "bystander training" that an organization is doing. This one is at 4 PM Eastern time today. Online. If you click around the tabs, you'll find all sorts of other free trainings they do online. I haven't done one (and this week is a no-go for me), but they look worthwhile. And if you're not a training person, they have a book out with similar information. (Sorry it's an Amazon link, but that was the link they offered.)
Next Tuesday I'll be just getting back from my trip, so it's likely I won't have one of these posts. (I'll do a "what if?" I think.) Stay safe.
