We as organizers/activists need time and space to build ourselves up. Here at the healing circle, we can air out frustrations, possibly meet new people who do the same work as you, and leave with your spirit built up. Organized by @safecampdore

Climate change and infrastructure are inseparable. Without taking the former into consideration, spending $ on the latter will result in systems designed for a time and reality that no longer exists, unable to withstand extreme weather and putting people at risk.

Rep. Daire Rendon (R) was on the radio this morning, claiming that there were "two security breaches" by anonymous actors of Michigan's voting system.

Frontline communities have been dying in California for decades from exposure to drilling fumes - with no setback requirements, companies can drill in people's backyards. The PEOPLE get sick, the PEOPLE cover their own hospital bills.
Fossil fuel companies are making earth hell.

This is 76 yr old Gwen Levy who was returned to prison for not answering a call from her federal probation officer while in this computer class. They told her lawyer, “because she could have been robbing a bank, [we’re] going to treat her as if she was robbing a bank.”

Folks keep defining what CRT is as though that’s ever really been at issue. It’s about white people having the power to define what reality is at any given moment & everyone else being forced to respond to it, whether it’s masking, the 2020 election or grade school curriculum.
