I’m a psychologist in the United States, but I was also just recently in Bath England for a creativity and climate gathering that was so wonderful called @forestofimaginatn.bsky.social.

Hullo Caz! Thought I’d jump on this, since I’m also in the therapeutic field. My emerging work is around climate and creativity, and I often share and connect about that here… Love that you have an artist passion too!

“ The determination to act despite fear” YES 🙌🏼🔥

Anat Shenker-Osorio @anatosaurus.bsky.social · 17h

Just continuously reminding myself, and out loud here in case it's of any help to others, that bravery is not the absence of fear but rather a determination to act despite fear.

I feel this so deeply and grateful for @anatosaurus.bsky.social words for this fierce kinship and gratitude❤️‍🔥

I am in awe of so many people who are fabulously fighting fascism from every corner of this country. You are the very best of America and I am proud to live among you.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

What a tender and nourishing piece from @mariapopova.bsky.social.

My heart is breaking about so many things, and I also know we must find sustenance in the midst of it as a “a countercultural act of courage and resistance.”

Maria Popova @mariapopova.bsky.social · 6d

Joy — like music, like love — is one of those entirely unnecessary miracles of consciousness that give meaning to survival with its bright allegiance to the most alive part of us www.themarginalian.org/2025/07/04/m...

I’m so grateful for Chris Murphy, he’s been such a determined clear light in this dark time.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 6d

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Luscious roses always make me think of this favorite Mary Oliver:
“when everything has already been more than enough
the wild beds start exploding
day after day
you sit near them
the honey keeps on coming
in the red cups & the bees
like amber drops roll
in the petals: there is no end,
believe me!”

May everyone fighting for our democracy, tap into capable insightful people like @anatosaurus.bsky.social who knows how to talk to people at a gut level- and helps others do the same.

Anat Shenker-Osorio @anatosaurus.bsky.social · 8d

Last big program I helped run, we targeted AND MOVED a much higher proportion of former Trump voters than much larger, mainstream programs. The same goes for flipping folks in other countries. It's not about left vs mod, it's about whether you're ready to run on values, build a choir, & persuade. /1

Wandering through the city of Bath England, a few weeks ago, I went into a darling bookshop and an employee was tiptoe, on a rolling ladder, and reader, it was all I had hoped and imagined 😍😂🙌🏼.

Ahh, that potent poignant line from @joshgondelman.bsky.social really spoke to me too. Less alone in sharing this disorientation of now…

It takes a lot of wisdom, creativity, and heart to communicate about climate in ways that touch and move people across cultural lines. Grateful for Katharine Hayhoe’s incredible work and modeling.

Grateful for Oregon Judge Immergut for holding an emergency Sunday night court hearing to block any national guard from other states from coming here.

And rockstar @annabower.bsky.social for reporting even later East Coast time for us!

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 9d

Immergut: What I'll do is not modify my original TRO but issue a new TRO that prohibits the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to the state of Oregon....

Resistance. Refusal. Ridicule. Those are the ingredients to bring down regimes and among them ridicule is arguably the most delicious. The emperor isn't just naked; his goon squad is afraid of an inflatable frog.
Portland is TOO FABULOUS FOR FASCISM.

“The courage, humanity and compassion of the Sumud flotilla are more than symbolic, they are a visceral reminder to all of us of our duty to stand up to injustice and to stand for the innocent.”

Do Gaza aid flotillas symbolize futile protest — or a real strategy to confront Israel’s blockade?

LONDON: Just after sundown on Oct. 1, Israeli naval forces surrounded the largest activist flotilla yet to challenge the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Within hours, most of the 44 boats carrying more th...
