“Contrary to popular belief, [#courage] is not the absence of #fear; it's the decision to move alongside it.”

Most #corporate #media #American #Journalists outright #refuse to ask #Republican #politicians how they #justify #illegal #unconstitutional #barbaric actions of the #Trump #GOP #MAGA #regime.
It's a THING.
They're being told NOT to do it out of #fear, #intimidation or because of loss of #access or advertising revenue.
It's possible in the next couple of months that riots will break out across the US due to shortages. A state of emergency will be called by Trump, with military force being used against civilians.
Just a fair warning, if these events unfold then you may want to stay home, or if you're crazy then livestream it all on X/twitter from your phone.
I don't know the future, but all signs point to this happening before summer.

I must not fear. #Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Frank Herbert
Well, crying came from this worldly fear of not being able to earn a living (I can't but lets not give up hope) if working a full 8 hours (rather than the usual 4) plus some stress equals full on fatigue and feeling sick, for several days, calling in sick to work (thank god for the library's sick hotline and bevy of on-calls). How can I step up and contribute more, working more hours, while my partner is much older than me and also in pain, and neither of us have "retirement" or a way to not just grind ourselves into.... Also our house is high maintenance with critters, and the age and decrepitude of it (poverty, lack of help)---- I fear I will become a detriment to our relationship. It's complicated. Being out of commission puts stress in the household.
Anyway, it was brief, sort of a thought snowballing while doing dishes this morning. It' passed. I'm not depressed.
Probably not hormonal, and if it is, it just amplifies reality. Makes we wish for a super simple life, UBI, and a way of existing, where my own cruddiness doesn't affect anyone else.
When I moved to the United States in 1977, I didn't realize I had chosen to live in a country where guns and power are inextricably entwined.

>>What matters is that acts we once took for granted as virtuous, routine, and safe — telling the truth, representing those oppressed by the state, providing legal aid to the powerless, volunteering to work at a polling site, basic journalism — now carry some risk. They now require some courage. Maybe the government won’t send you to prison. At least not yet. But it can make your life really difficult.<<

If #fear is the goal, then #solidarity is the antidote

Just in case you need another example of what #fascism is doing to #science , #society and how #fear works out:
"After much thought, [..] they preferred not to risk publishing at this time. One had just lost a job because of a canceled government grant; the other feared a similar fate if they went ahead with the paper. Although both were legally in the U.S., they worried they might lose their residency [...]."

This has ALWAYS been the case. Why bring it up now?
To feed your #TrumpDerangemenSyndrome. It requires Recency Effect refreshing to keep you in 
FEAR, because #FEAR sells copy and increases ad revenue. That's why. #Trump is a #msm jackpot.

Meanwhile, in other news... note the #volatility index aka #fear index. This #criminal #administration is #destroying wealth, decimating lives of #middleclass #American families residual those living off their life's savings and investments. #impeach and #convict this #felon now.
Good write up. I saw this first hand when I lived in Huntsville, AL ... but I also see it when I visit family in Indianapolis, IN.
