For All The Messages Not To Comply In Advance, I Think Equally Important Is To Not Declare Defeat, Ever.

For all the messages not to comply in advance, I think equally important is to not declare defeat, ever. Yes, this shit is fucked. Yes, it's beyond alarming. But part of the Trump playbook is doing so much, so fast, that opponents get overwhelmed. There's too much for any one person to address all of it, so I guess they just win by default. Except no, they fucking don't.

It is not the responsibility of any single person to keep up with or counter every action from the administration.

Just like last time, it's going to take thousands of people doing hundreds of thousands of difficult, boring, largely unseen, or all of the above, tasks to keep American government from going completely off the rails. Throwing up your hands and declaring that we're already off the rails and barreling straight off a cliff? Not helping.

Feel what you need to feel. Vent to your circles. But then remember: despair is as dangerous as apathy if it leads to the same end result.

I suspect somewhere along the line we collectively decided internet safety meant only avoiding sexual predators & that's one of the reasons cults and hate groups can thrive online

A holistic internet safety curriculum would be maybe 10% avoiding and dealing with sexually predatory behaviors, 40% mental health skill teaching focused on self-regulation and self-esteem, and 50% How To Spot And Avoid Manipulation (anti-scam, anti-cult, anti-misinfo, anti-advertising, etc). Hell, most of the skills you use to steer clear of harmful groups also help protect against sexual predators online!
