Vermont Rite of Passage: 22 years and first time getting stuck in the mud. So Vermonty, 2 folks tried to push me out. One neighbor walking the road was an old work colleague. And the tow truck MacGyver was my activist friend’s dad.

TOMORROW: curious about how to stop financially supporting the regime? Come to the National Tax Strike info webinar 4/29, 8 pm ET. Folks have been participating in war tax resistance for decades. Learn from them what it's like to strike, the risks, and protections. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I have tried to follow #popefrancis guidance when asked for $ on the street. Give, look the person in the eye, and offer your hand. I did this today. We talked about the pope. I passed by the man again later. He said, “I’ve been sick since I was 16. Schizophrenia. I don’t want to bother nobody.” 🙏🏻

Hundreds stood on this rural road outside the Northwest State Correctional Facility in the cold and snow to protest the abduction of Mohsen Mahdawi tonight. #resist

I’ve been trained well in the Spectrum of Allies. In a campaign, we focus on who can be moved into action, and we ignore active opposers. This is #resist 101. But what about loving our neighbors? All of them. #recovery teaches me love myself and my qualifier/alcoholic. So MAGA neighbor, what now?

#recovery is a program of no shame. Fell off the wagon? Let me give you a hand back on, friend. No questions asked, we’re just glad to have you back. So I’m back: recovering and #resist -ing, one day at a time. Voted for Trump, but have regrets? Join us at #TeslaTakedown. We’re glad you’re with us.

I watched just a wee bit of the #sotu address last night, and wanted to scream #stfu
But the bully’s insults were minor incidents, compared to the major catastrophes:
#globalfascism #climatecrisis #speciescollapse
Let’s protect our hearts, feel the feels, and keep up the good work #resist #rebuild

#recovery helps me live guilt-free. Not free from mistakes, or free from conflict, or free from learning a better way to be and do life.
#step10 can be a daily practice.
Confession, amends, and repeat.
Lament, dig deeper, and repeat.
Voted for DT? Apply Step 10 & #resist

This is my prayer for you tonight:
The recently & unjustly fired federal workers.
The returning Palestinians remaking their lives.
The ones arrested by ICE.
The babies with measles.
And all facing desperate times, no matter what.
May you feel the presence and support of Love and Spirit.

This Joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me…The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away!
A gospel song written for those who have endured, and know that Joy comes from within.
I recently led this song, and we zipped in Fear after Joy.

Hitting bottom.
Again.
And again.
And again.
It happens, pretty common, pretty human.
Dictators be dictating.
Again.
And again.
And again.
#neveragain works for some people, maybe some societies (Germany 👀). Don’t be surprised! it’s a #coup Let’s not fear calling ‘em #fascists #LFG

There’s a line I hear “in the rooms” but not sure if it’s #recovery speak:
The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

History says: The power of an autocrat snowballs when people obey in advance. Watching Dems right now is like:

I heard Sen. Welch speak yesterday at the NOFA-VT conference to hundreds of farmers, students, & agriculturists of all types. He named the #constitutionalcrisis 👏🏻 and how “really, really bad” it is in DC rn. Meanwhile, he neglected to mention that he voted YES on DT’s pick for Sec. of Ag 🤯😡🤣 #resist

There is no 💩 fairy at the dog park, nor in life.
In #recovery, we take an inventory of ourselves and make amends. No one else gonna pick up our 💩 and magically disappear it.

Hey Elon, you need to #StopElon
This doesn’t end well (see below)
Only you can choose your own path of #recovery
No one can force you to stop greeding/drinking/drugging

In #recovery we learn that we can’t go it alone. We need the group, we need a #sponsor (aka mentor), we need someone to call in the middle of the night or the middle of the crisis.
#community not individualism
#resist with friends
We got each other.

Today I’m thinking about the slogan, progress not perfection. And if #recovery could be a tool to dismantle toxic whiteness. Found this artistic rendering of Tema Okun’s piece (credit: Melanie G. S. Walby). Don’t drink the poisons!

In #recovery, you determine your own #higherpower
That could be #god or #Allah or #Gaia or the mystery of a #12step group.
I got a bit irritable about the renaming of this mountain, but #MotherNature reminds me: your silly human names don’t define me. I’ll be here long after you are gone #sanity
