🎉 Nature, nuance, attunement, agroforestry, NVC, & radishes
We are living in the consequences of millions of choices, shaped by class, power, culture, trauma, and grief. Our lived experience, along with an overdose of corporate marketing also shape hopes and dreams.

What would happen that which shapes our choices was acknowledged and made more visible?

I've had several conversations lately that have shown me that when we can truly listen to each other, we CAN actually change and shift our positions. This IS possible.

"What if we are radically under-estimating our capacity for real social change?"

Reminder -- the Taxpayer Bill of Rights includes the Right to Privacy.

America is being rat-fucked by Trump and his thugs and the IRS outright violating our rights.

Take a stand and make it loud.

This is the beginning of the American Stasi.

“IN 150 CHARACTERS OR LESS” by Nikita Gill

Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

A lot of disabled and chronically ill people are disappointed they couldn’t go out and protest as part of #HandsOff today.

Never forget that rest IS resistance.

Listening to your body & giving it what it needs is a radical act of self care.

We need our strength for the long battle ahead.

Overturning Citizens United has my full support!
The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
