All we have is each other <3 I was going to complain and screech but instead I want to share something hopeful: yesterday the people in Massachusetts voted to allow rideshare workers to unionise. Uber and (I believe) DoorDash spent millions in several states to keep this from happening, but that money went to waste here. Drivers can now unionise! This is such a small victory, and doesn’t help all the rest of it, but it is a victory at least here.

That's honestly such great news, i feel like organizing efforts like those are going to be what's needed over the next four years. That and a mobilization of people performing mutual aid and standing up for one another.

Hello Michael, I am also in Illinois and I feel disappointed but not shocked. More than ever I am realizing the importance of our local communities in times like these. I hope you are doing well.

Hey Rachel! I hope you're able to tap into your local community and that you have a network of friends and neighbors that you know, that's going to be so important to have. I'm right there with you, not shocked but still frustrated and sad that we're at this point. I hope you're doing well too!
