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
~ Chelan Harkin

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.

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.
