“We are travellers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” ― Paulo Coelho –

Some wounds begin in childhood, but so does hope. May we raise a world where no child has to bear what they never chose.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Eastern blue gropers are protected across NSW, with a full ban on fishing extended until at least 2028. By safeguarding large males, managers are protecting this iconic species and the ecological role it plays in holding back urchin numbers & keeping kelp forests intact.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

Feeling powerless? Prop 50 is the fight that actually matters. Republicans are rewriting the rules to silence voters and steal seats, but we can stop them—for now. This is our chance to push back, protect our voices, and prove resistance works. Vote #YESonProp50 and reclaim control.

Vibrant illustration supporting “Yes on Prop 50” in California. The image shows a dramatic coastal scene with a setting sun over the ocean, rugged cliffs, and three large California poppy flowers in the foreground. The sky transitions from deep blue to orange, creating a bold, colorful atmosphere. At the top, the text reads “CALIFORNIA” with “Yes on Prop 50” below it, emphasizing the advocacy message.

Amazing, thoughtful, & coordinated team protesting! This team spent some advance thought & prep but a good way to visually make a bigger impact; both if read & impact of the volume. And all signs can be reused alone or in small groups. I'm impressed!

From here on out, every chance that you have to vote on local state and federal elections, whether it be for a candidate or a proposition, prop 50 in California for instance, you should be there waiting to cast your ballot.

There are no more excuses. If you can physically be there...

JUST DO IT.
