#HealingCentered #peacebuilding is strength-based. It recognises systems and structures supporting recovery and rebuilding are often greatly damaged by the same violence and #trauma.

Key to the approach is interventions are not just about raising awareness but behavior change.

A complex systems map titled 'Wellbeing and Resilience: A grounded theory using a trauma-informed lens for a healing-centered peacebuilding approach.' The map branches into three main approaches, represented by different colored icons: A blue 'Psychosocial Programming Approach,' a red 'Ignore It Approach,' and a green 'A Healing-Centered Peacebuilding Approach.' The map also includes a purple 'Mental Health Approach.' Each branch contains numerous illustrated elements showing various aspects like community engagement, mental health support, and conflict resolution. The left side shows challenges and interventions, while the right side shows healing and positive outcomes. Multiple small illustrations depict people in various situations, from community meetings to healing activities. The map includes both problematic approaches to avoid and constructive solutions to implement. A credit line indicates this is from research by A. Yoder-Maina, 2020, at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Gosh, if only there were a national organization that's dedicated to specifically advocating for gay Republicans and could push back within the GOP against Winsome Earle-Sears for her attacks on gay marriage and employment protections.

Wait... isn't that Log Cabin Republicans?

I have lived in a lot of places where, because of poverty and other issues, sick people have to work or die.

And compared to Europe, Americans work sick more consistently than Europeans, thus the cultural understanding of not working sick is already lower.

It feels too simple. They can not steal from robots - so they need to keep lots of us working for nothing, in debt and sick so that they can continue to become mega rich.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

I bet no one told you that the Missouri Farm Bureau endorsed the Republican politicians who support Trump’s tariffs and trade war…the two things decimating Missouri soybean farmers.

Did you know that the Farm Bureau sends out a list of “farmer-friendly” politicians to each Farm Bureau member?

This is interesting that it is happening in the US also. I am familiar with the Saudis and the "land grabs in Africa - mostly in Sudan, Mali, and Senegal for agricultural production to be exported to Saudi.
