48. A starting place is to stop heaping hate on them...

... and engaging.

Opponents of the 47 regime must radically alter our response. And Anat Shenker-Osorio is the clearest voice and has created the best guide I've seen to date.

She was on the That Trippi Show April 18th, (episode: "If you want to touch a nerve, you have to touch a nerve " )

Please listen, wherever you get your podcasts. This is so important.

And here is Anat's Freedom Over Fascism Toolkit. Her guidance sets out a simple way to stop running after the latest horror and talk about the horrors within the same narrative frame -- over and over and over.
