&maybe consider places to bring art...
been reading democracy themed poems at campiaign, #GOTV events, from debate watch to postcard writing events- to other opps-seems to help create commraderie or provocation or a softening or motivation or discussion or the best
a shared moment of togetherness❤️🗽🇺🇸

As ever - perfect quotes for the moment, the choices/times we have before us-thank you

Applies personally & in community-
& so we persevere!

"When you look fear in the face
you are able to say to yourself
'I lived through this horror
I can take the next thing that comes along'"

Eleanor Roosevelt

"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

happy bday Eleanor Roosevelt, b.1884, NYC.

“I believe that democracy is based on the ability to make democracy serve the good of the majority of the people. If it can’t do that, then it should not survive.”

“If silence seems to give approval, then remaining silent is cowardly.”

Thank you for sharing your piece

Means so very much & captures something I think many people, every day people, different generations, different backgrounds - kind people - are grappling with and trying to navigate - and you captured the tenor so well -
with the ideas of how to heal too
Thank you!

The is the piece to read-needed balm!
I run a weekly discussion-what @matthewjdowd.bsky.social captures so well-ties to a theme we keep circling

"connect w/those-
who have a soft touch in their soul-

Once I cry or laugh w/another-
I can begin to bridge the divisions
which exist in our world today"

Matthew Dowd @matthewjdowd.bsky.social · 1d

"Trump officials laugh behind closed doors at those of us who try to lead lives of compassion and empathy. Trump could care less about his own voters, and doesn’t respect them" ihttps://open.substack.com/pub/matthewdowd/p/demanding-leaders-with-a-soft-touch?r=130087&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Demanding Leaders with a Soft Touch in Their Soul

This week I highlighted the birthday of Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade, who was born October 9, 1893.
