re: Shadow Work:

Has your inner work on your personal shadows prepared you for what's happening in the world?

If not, what was its purpose? Was all that personal development you've done only for your own benefit? Or does it help you effectively engage with the world's lengthening shadows?

This is why we must engage and not hide: "Trump is a typical bully. He breaks norms and laws to see what he can get away with. If the opposition is weak, he steamrolls forward. If the opposition is strong, he slinks away..." ---- 4/14/25 email from Ezra Levin

Criminalizing Dissent: Greenpeace Ordered to Pay $667M to Dakota Access Pipeline Firm over Protests A jury in North Dakota has ordered Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million in damages for defaming Energy Transfer Partners, the corporation behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Greenpeace needs public support right now about the secrecy and bias in the court case it just lost. It's been ordered to pay $667M for training and funding Indigenous-led protests at Standing Rock. The pro-Trump pipeline company is leading the charge to criminalize protest and inhibit free speech.

Here's data and a readable report on the impact of the corporatization of health care in New Mexico. Don't buy the myth that maybe rural hospitals really do need to cut budgets because they're not profitable. Not so simple. It's "buy, strip, flip" and blame patients www.nmsop.org/_files/ugd/7...

YouTube video by Hakim Bellamy A People's March Protest Poem

Poet, lawyer and civil servant Hakim Bellamy wrote this poem for the People's March in Albuquerque in January 2025. It's rhythms are infectious and its feminist message is powerful. He speaks directly/indirectly to Trump.

To everybody thinking about starting their own nonprofit or movement group to respond to this chaos: Don't!
Instead, work with existing organizations. Too often egos lead to the creation of nonprofits that duplicate the missions of existing ones and fragment efforts of social change. 501c3lookup.org

Remember that posting on social media doesn't actually accomplish much of anything, although sharing info can educate each other. We're preaching to the choir here. The real question is, "What are you going to do in the 'real world'? Anger is no better than overwhelm if it diverts us from action.

Thanks for finding and posting it. But I don't think "They'll never know" is evidence of election fraud. The clip is edited, though, and we don't hear what the child says next. I'll also want to check further on the kidnapping charge. I have indeed wondered what's up with Musk parading the child.

@prisonculture.bsky.social This is for you. I took a screenshot years ago from an online listing of these socks for sale. I don't remember where.

#SuperWoman #FunInTheChaos

And it begins. They're trying to do it out of sight to make it out of mind.

Love her. Sigh. Takes me back to song circles jamming on the political music of resistance and justice, and singing and playing guitar performing at Take Back the Night rallies etc. I wonder if the People's Music Network for Songs of Peace and Justice is still around...gotta google it now.

Great, meaty book from 2023. We need its wisdom as we build alliances and develop existing movements. Let's not eat each other as we organize, okay?

Practical Radicals: Seven Strategies to Change the World by Deepak Bhargava and Stephanie Luce.

I'm taking notes.

Interesting, though I think it's an unfortunate name since on the surface it seems to be promoting shopping and accumulating goods. It's useful: "Enter a company or brand name. And we’ll tell you what we know about the political donations made by the organization and its senior employees."

Over 200 Native programs and grants feel chill of federal funding freeze - MVSKOKE Media Federal funding freeze puts Native programs on thin ice.

Here's a list of Indigenous organizations whose formerly funded programs are hit by the funding freezes. Looks like there's lots of opportunities for sharing your resources through gifts here:

Formerly the Center for Community Change (back in the days I was organizing and working for nonprofits), CC has solid intersectional, anti-racist, feminist, pro-working-people leftist politics, plus a lot of organizing expertise. I don't find them on BlueSky yet.

“Finally Free!”: Leonard Peltier Released After Nearly 50 Years Behind Bars We speak with NDN Collective founder and CEO Nick Tilsen, who was with Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier as he was released from a federal prison in Florida Monday after nearly half a century behind...

Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier is finally free! Well, not 100%, as Biden gave him clemency not a pardon, but he is back home in the Turtle Mountain community in North Dakota. The case for prosecuting him was always weak.

I'd like to factcheck this. Where is the original video? Are we confident it's not altered video?

To Transform Conflict in Movements, We Must Learn How to Stay in It Together “Trust-building requires risk,” says facilitator Aarati Kasturirangan.

Learn how to work through conflict with allies, and to stay calm while you do it. Don't duplicate the power dynamics we seek to change. Trauma is so prevalent, let's not create more working with each other.

BREAKING NEWS: The United States Justice Department, at the hands of Trump's newly appointed Attorney General, just released a memo reinstating the 💀 penalty for violent crimes AND illegal immigration... TikTok video by Carson

Death penalty for illegal immigrants who commit capital crimes is now the law. Guantanomo Bay is the new Auschwitz.

Yes. It's time to accept our differences while also looking for the most effective mass response to what's happening. It's not a single-issue problem. Heck, it can't even be understood through the lens of a single paradigm like pro-worker socialism or liberal humanitarianism.

“Rather than ceding to the right’s distortions, the left could use this moment to make legible what DEI policies…do to make workers lives more stable and humane, could emphasize that this is not niche stuff for college campuses; it is policy that enables more humans more access to better lives.”

An AI-generated photo-like image of a city block with 12-story buildings in ruins, the first-floor storefronts destroyed, dusty abandoned cars and detriment piled up where sidewalks should be.

Trump and his minions are creating death, chaos and destruction -- ushered in with fictional stories of waste, fraud and abuse.

Death, chaos and destruction.

Words create beliefs. The coup leaders have put the other three words on the tips of every American's tongue.

Change the script.

Remember revolutionary writings distributed in booklet form, pamphlets, and mimeographed newsletters with sharp-eyed analysis of race, class and gender? I had to donate my originals to an alternative collection at Cornell when they became too mildewy musty to keep on my shelves. Bless these sisters.

The Revolution Will Be Caring - Public Books What makes something mutual aid or collective care and not capitalist charity?

We're going to need mutual care networks independent of government and possibly also of nonprofits, since the whole nonprofit sector is now vulnerable to attack. Here's resources for thinking about how we might make mutual aid projects happen: www.publicbooks.org/the-revoluti...
