Buddhist Solidarity with Apache Stronghold - Buddhistdoor Global At Oak Flat, Buddhist practitioners stand with Apache Stronghold to defend Indigenous sacred land, bringing compassion and awareness to the front lines of environmental justice

One of the best aspects of #Buddhism in #America, imho, is its openness to building connections across whatever divides are out there--suffering anywhere is suffering we vow to overcome. Thanks @maiaduerr.bsky.social for this piece at @buddhistdoor.bsky.social

Actually since i posted this months ago, I am less inclined to think of this as an effective resistance strategy. This regime is looking for any excuse to gut gov't services, and my witholding tax only makes that easier for them.

Mr. Trump can say whatever he wants about Columbus Day/ Indigenous Peoples Day. I don't recognize him as the president either.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay!

This is a good day to support Indigenous organizations that work hard every day to protect land and waters, to remedy longstanding inequities, and to decolonize. Please consider donating to Native-led nonprofits today.

A beautifully brutally honest post about what it's like to be on the frontlines of #Chicago right now, by a seasoned and skillful organizer.

This past week, for 3 days and nights people gathered at the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe in #SantaFe to read names of more than 65,000 Palestinians in #Gaza killed as well as the 800 civilians (Israeli + other nationalities) killed on Oct 7, 2023.

Unfathomable.

This must stop.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I miss the days when ballparks weren't named after corporations.

I feel like last year's MLB playoffs happened just a few weeks ago. What a weird year this has been.

Boycott.

Snapshot: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regime—and an attack on all decent people

I agree with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, our government has become a place where there is no regard for human rights let alone human dignity.

The question posed in this article is “What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes?“ & then respond with “Fuck them kids.”?

Executive Excess 2025 CEO pay and stock buybacks have soared at the 100 largest low-wage corporations.

Starbucks had the largest pay ratio gap in the S&P 500 at 6,666 to 1 last year. CEO Brian Niccol reportedly pocketed $95.8 million while the average worker earned $14,674, the 8th-lowest median pay of any S&P 500 firm, according to @ips-dc.org report. ips-dc.org/report-execu...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

U.S. Military Attacked Boat Off Venezuela, Killing Four Men, Hegseth Says

I hope this guy is racking up charges at the Hague. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Dragon Room to the left? Love that spot.

Two stories I hope to read soon: how Hegseth's agenda weakens the military and how people in the military are responding to that agenda.

The US military is only 50% white (and it's 15% female) so Hegseth launched an attack on the majority of troops.

gorgeous!

tons of rain here in Española too
