What's the problem?

If you're already a Trader Joe's, go ahead and pick up some extra groceries.

We did that when SNAP benefits were threatened.

We know how to do that in times of crisis.

And then we throw up our hands when the crisis is political and say, I have no idea what to do.

Yes, you do.

We know what to do.

And guess what?

All of those other crises were political too.

The climate crises are political.

We have the stuff that we need to survive this moment.

We have the stuff that we need in ourselves and in one another if we are willing to do the very simple tasks of connecting those dots with each other.

And that is really clear and decisive action that nobody has to wait to take.

You're absolutely right.

No notes.

Ten out of ten.

And I think that distilling it for people that clearly is so necessary.

You know, we talked about this the last time I was on with you all about the individualism that is, I won't even just say pervasive, right?

That is like that is a feature of whiteness.

I ain't talking big W. I always have to do this for people.
