A new decade. A New Year.

Suggested #2020NewYear Resolutions

#1: Register new voters

Only 58% of the eligible voters in the US voted in 2016.

If you live in the US and you're able:

💠find those who dislike Trump,
💠help them register, and
💠get them to the polls.
If half my followers get 20 new voters registered, that’s 1 million new voters—enough to sway the election,

Resolution # 2: Get involved. Pick a few things off my list⤵️

I'm committed to voter protection legal work this year.

What will you do?
Resolution # 3: Don’t go down “what if” rabbit holes ⤵️

They’re draining.

If you’re in a “what if” rabbit hole, you can’t pay attention to what’s really happening.

Deal with each situation as it arises.
#4: Don’t spread gloom and despair.

As @selectedwisdom explained, one goal of active measures is to “undermine democracy, to make Americans lose confidence in democratic institutions.”

I get these⤵️questions so often that I added an FAQ page to my blog.
@selectedwisdom #5: Turn your anxiety into constructive action.

If you’re worried about those questions, click on my FAQ page, read my answers, take a deep breath, and then click on the ‘things to do’ button at the top and turn your anxiety into constructive action.

@selectedwisdom #6: Read about Susan B. Anthony (or Thurgood Marshall!) and feel inspired.

Susan B. helped create the democracy we have, and she risked her life as an abolitionist, so she sets the example of the work it takes to preserve democracy.

Here you go⤵️

@selectedwisdom I saved this tweet because sometimes I think the same thing: The universe is unfolding as it should.

Trump awakened us from complacency and spurred us to treasure our democracy and take the necessary steps to preserve it.

@selectedwisdom Finally ⤵️


Best wishes for a good New Year to all my followers.

2020 will the year we make voting cool again.
@selectedwisdom This, too.

People are trying to wear you out and discourage you. They pick fights. They ask you for evidence to support what you are saying.

My problem is that they constantly ask me the questions I posted earlier. But so do people genuinely worried.
@selectedwisdom Also, don't wear yourself out in real life. I have people in my life who will never change their political views. So we don't talk politics. I don't try to change them.

On the other hand, just before the 2018, my nieces and nephews in Texas skyped me into a birthday party . . .
@selectedwisdom . . . what did I do? I made sure everyone at the party was registered to vote and I got them to promise they'd vote. (I know how they'll all vote. So I asked for promises that they would.)

I suspect my nieces and nephews were like, "There Aunt Teri goes again"
