Our consumerist culture has divorced us from reality to the point that most people don't think the relentless destruction of the actual planet they live on will effect them much.

How about a new culture built around our connectedness to nature & each other?

How about #Degrowth?

To all the people defending Putin's actions under our various threads, we don't have the time to respond to each and every one of you individually, but we'd like to give you a big hardy "GO FUCK YOURSELF" to every single one of you.
War is murder.

Russian occupation forces are trying to seize the #Chornobyl_NPP. Our defenders are giving their lives so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated. Reported this to @SwedishPM. This is a declaration of war against the whole of Europe.

Not ok. Not at all. C'mon, #Texas Greg Abbot is not fit to serve.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.

He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

White supremacy is a belief system based on the idea that ppl of color, esp Black ppl, are fundamentally illegitimate as equal citizens or human beings.

Calling into question the citizenship of elected officials of color, esp when the answer is obvious, is one way it manifests.

Put your face masks on. Please. Don’t be selfish. Don’t be stupid.

So. Let's set the stage...
President Trump has chosen as the venue for his first rally in months, Tulsa, Oklahoma, site of a horrific massacre of African Americans. And he has set the date for June 19th, Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.

“Wearing a mask is a contract that we make with our fellow citizens, similar to the one we have regarding stopping for red lights and stop signs,” the doctor said. "It’s not an act of surrendering your rights, but an act of good citizenship and patriotism. #Coronavirus #Covid_19

Keep mending, keep healing, keep creating goodness. That's what the world needs now.

Everyone has the right to protest, but to be clear: Lansing is empty. We are almost entirely working remotely. All Operation Gridlock is accomplishing is blocking traffic for essential workers and first responders in the middle of a pandemic. This is silly and irresponsible.

Let’s take this lesson and move it forward to push for a better world.

We CAN guarantee healthcare.
We CAN treat housing as a right.
We CAN pursue decarceral policy.
We CAN prioritize humanitarian foreign policy.
We can. We can. We can.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

One enormous, major lesson that I hope people realize in this moment:

Resistance to revolutionary policy was never really about a lack of money, or capacity, or logistics.

It was always about power and a lack of political will.
