YappariFrom <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherrilynIfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SherrilynIfill</a>, analysis and encouragement for our current moment in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a> and the fight for US <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RuleOfLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RuleOfLaw</a>:“All over America ordinary people are looking into their toolboxes of non-violent actions and determining which ones they will use. It’s been beautiful to see. But we must not absolve the leaders of our most powerful institutions – those who have the money and power, and influence to insulate themselves from the worst consequences of this Administration’s excesses – from their obligation to act and to meet the moment.”<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/sherrilyn/p/it-is-not-enough-to-fight-you-have?r=7ejni&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://open.substack.com/pub/sherrilyn/p/it-is-not-enough-to-fight-you-have?r=7ejni&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email</a>

OrrockThe great <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sherrilynifill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sherrilynifill</a> The presence of robust Black achievement is a signal for them that things have gone too far. And so despite the ongoing racial wealth gap, the educational achievement gap between Black and white children, the ongoing reality of housing discrimination, employment discrimination, environmental injustice and police violence against unarmed Black people, something must be done. Time to dial back the efforts to bring Black people more fully into spaces of influence and power. It is not our incompetence they fear. It is our excellence.

OrrockFrom <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sherrilynifill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sherrilynifill</a> There is even an app now, called 5 Calls: Contact your Congress <a href="https://5calls.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://5calls.org/</a> that you can download to keep the information available and at your fingertips. It is available in the App Store on Apple I-phones. Want to call your Governor every week?

OrrockThank you <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sherrilynifill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sherrilynifill</a> For my friends in media, many of you are already failing this preliminary moment. Tighten up your language. Stop conceding the rationality of things that are fundamentally irrational and the legality of things that are illegal. Musk and Ramaswamy are leading at best a “project on government accountability.” Maybe and “ad hoc committee” or study group. It is not a “Department” which is a legal term for federal agencies. The creation of federal departments requires an Act of Congress, not the mere whim of a president-elect and his benefactor. Think “Department of Homeland Security.” There is no “Department of Government Efficiency.” And if giving legal imprimatur to this ad hoc initiative is not reason enough to refrain from referring to it as DOGE, engaging in cost-free advertising for Elon Musk’s cryptocurrency (called DOGE) should be reason enough.

LaloofahICYMI: Some of the advice <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SherrilynIfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SherrilynIfill</a> gave in her 6 Nov newsletter: “Our spirits will be assaulted in the coming months -- by coarse & crude language, by open displays of violence, of privilege, & of unchecked power. We may feel as if we are occupied by a hostile force. This feeling will combine with our grief to weaken & exhaust us. We must hold onto the things that refresh our spirits -- time with family, music, art, nature, hobbies, food. We must protect our core.” <a href="https://sherrilyn.substack.com/p/why-are-we-here" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sherrilyn.substack.com/p/why-are-we-here</a>
