Last week's vote to end the shutdown while sacrificing the healthcare of millions of Americans was a body blow.
In this week's video, I break down the deep betrayal many progressives felt when eight Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government at the expense of healthcare access for millions. If you’re furious, heartbroken, or simply exhausted by leaders who were supposed to fight for us, you’re not alone.
I dive into why betrayal from our own hits so much harder and how to process the rage, grief, and disbelief without burning out or withdrawing from the fight against authoritarianism.
I walk you through three strategic steps to turn that heartbreak into power: naming the betrayal, moving through your emotions, and staying rooted in community, so that we can create real political change in the direction of social justice.
