Staying Grounded in Reality in The Age of Authoritarianism

Understanding The Dynamics Of Misinformation, Intention, And Community

We know that humans need to focus their attention on what to do and commit to doing something to help each day. We need community, and an understanding of what is being done by whom and their end goals. We need each other, and we need to be strategic.
