I have two ideas* going through my mind. One, love will save us. Two, don’t negotiate with terrorists. Meaning, don’t give a inch to anyone who voices racism, sexism , homophobia and hate of any kind.

My actions: pray, meditate, volunteer, write, create, console, accept consolation, donate, act with kindness. BUT: do not appease and do not stay silent.

Another action: read and share intelligent news and analysis.

*That is such bullshit. I have lots of ideas, but I’m trying to stay focused.
