#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.

In spite of it all- there is still much to be thankful for. I am thankful for the growing resistance and for the words and friendship of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social.

By targeting Mali’s main overland trade routes, recent jihadist attacks represent an explicit economic strategy to cut off and isolate the junta in Bamako. Petroleum supplies from Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire account for nearly 95% of the country’s fuel.

The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back.

We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race.

This is the way.

Interesting thread on Epstein Evidence...

The FBI and the DOJ are redacting the Jeffrey Epstein evidence, primarily to protect victim privacy and avoid compromising ongoing investigations. However, the law PROHIBITS redactions solely to prevent embarrassment or reputational harm to public figures.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.

“At approximately 11:32 p.m., CNN shows Harris’s vote total dropping from 1,024,050 to 989,994.
Then, at 11:45 p.m., the ABC Detroit affiliate’s livestream shows Harris gaining 1,044,226 votes.
Then one minute later, losing 989,289 of those votes..Poof. Gone.”

To prevent this kind of tragedy:

*get a Tdap 💉during the 3rd trimester of every pregnancy
*vaccinate babies on AAP-recommended schedule
*ALL adults need TDap boosters every 10 years minimum (5 is better bc the pertussis part of 💉can wane sooner)

How to get rid of Citizens United?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.
