I love facilitating, healing, prehistory, the goddess, beauty, touch, my kids
It’s when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.

Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
..
Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other

Every time I do my little resistance posting, someone always replies that the Right might not allow any resistance to fascism. TBH this is a good point, which is why I suggest we ask permission first and gracefully concede if they say no.

whatever bespoke hypothetical thing you mean by "end social justice practices in the workplace", this version that they mean is the actual, concrete political project confronting labor and the left right now. move accordingly
Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.

Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

So the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world clumsily fired a bunch of senior air traffic staff, caused the worst domestic air disaster since 9/11, and then tried to blame black people

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

This is what explains Musk’s recent obsession with backing the far right in Europe and going on about making Europe great again. This and the racism.

Everything else is noise.

The Trump administration's latest assault on Indigenous rights is a shameful continuation of centuries of betrayal and oppression. They are living in fear - and our past proves they should.
