That’s 24 headlines, from the last 24 hours.
If you’re reading this, if you’re one of the 35K people who shared yesterday’s 24 in 24 hours… THANK YOU!
THANK YOU JUST FOR BEING HERE! ✊🥹
As a former history teacher, now lawyer — seeing SO MANY sharing my same sentiments, felt grounding in a time where everything feels up in the air.
We’re constantly bombarded — one shocking headline after another.
It’s intentionally relentless.
It’s purposefully exhausting.
It's hard to keep up — and easy to tap out.
TRUST ME, I GET IT! 😅
That’s why I started compiling a list of headlines, just from the last 24 hours like this.
To hold MYSELF accountable.
In a world where it’s easy to scroll past..
I hope you realize, your attention — is a form of resistance.
PLEASE - don’t forget to give yourself grace for this today.
Your awareness — resists indifference.
It refuses to let what’s unfolding escape your memory.
It rejects complicity through inattention.
It is the choice to stay present, to see patterns where others see chaos, and to question the narratives everyone else is willing to accept.
Which means…
Every headline you read…
Every thread you share…
Every question you ask…
Every moment you refuse to look away — again, is an act of DEFIANCE against a coordinated efforts to dull you into obeying in advance.
In doing so, in time — you will find a way to get in the way.
YOUR way, to get in the way.
The news doesn’t stop, and neither should our scrutiny of it, or our part to play in the narrative.
So — ‘What a time to be alive,’ is right!
But the powers that be did not put you in this period of the timeline on accident.
You were meant to see this message this morning; and your main task I leave you with today — is to find out why.
All I ask is for each of you who see’s this to recognize that the entire world is waiting for the part only YOU can play.
And I, for one, can not WAIT to see it.
So pause. Reflect. Connect some dots.
And then decide — what role, however small, YOU can take — in your life, your community, your vote, your voice.
BREATHE. Assess. Then move deliberately.
Know you are not alone.
Know a perfect stranger not only believes in you; but praying for your resolve to TAP TF IN, and find YOUR WAY, to get in the way.
DEEP breathe IN… hold… EXHALE… 2 more times… then and 🔥
Define your line; then defend it.
As always, sources/links in comments.
Proud of you!
