Seems like a good day to remind folks of Bill Moyer's 4 Kinds of Activists & 8 Stages of a Movement... and the role that hopeful #climatefiction can fill in the fight.

A close friend, so close, was sure, so sure, that Kamala was going to win. Practical implications of Kamala being VP to a genocide just didn't register.
They may have been blinded by #Hope.
People go on, and on, about hope. It's not essential, has huge dangers and may seem so important as our culture had for the longest time a sure and certain hope in the Resurrection.
What if we had sure doubts and certain ambivalences?
Would my close friend have bet a grand on Kamala?
The Hands Off protests yesterday, which were (let's not mince the truth here) antifascist and pro-democracy rallies, have lifted my spirits in a way that has made me feel that we actually have more options available than we realize. And not just on the political front, but also on the personal front. We must not get in the habit of being doormats to this regime. Or, for that matter, to the subtly sinister parasites in life.
#Joy, #faith & #hope all well in my heart listening to this.Thank you #indivisible.
*By this we know love!*that he laid down his life for us!*& we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers!

“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well,” Czech dissident, writer and statesman Václav Havel said, “but the certainty that something is worth doing no matter how it turns out.”

#protest #vetoproject2025 is going better than I expected in Appleton, WI. I only witnessed two trump trucks and 1 altercation between a driver and a protester. I would estimate 3/4 of a mile worth of protesting. Refilled my #hope today. #handsoff #handsoff2025
"Gerade ging ein Video aus der Türkei viral, in dem ein gelbes Pokémon in Trippelschritten vor der Polizei davonläuft. In dem Kostüm steckte der 21-jährige Hasan Taşkan, der nach eigenen Angaben einfach gern Menschen zum Lachen bringt. Politisch interessiert sei er nicht, aber er wünsche sich,eine Türkei, in der alle Menschen glücklich leben und,„in der jeder die Freiheit hat, seine ldeen frei zu äußern." TAZ

We each are given a flame of purpose,
Vibrantly colored with visions and interests;
Compounding and growing deep within,
To be harnessed and harvested through intuition and discipline.

Understanding the aesthetics of oligarchy can help us to see where their power comes from and maybe even do something about it....

PEACE, LOVE, HOPE, CHARITY, and UNITY are the keys to OUR SUCESS.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, not just as a state, country, party, or people but as a planet. So seek out truth and promote unity as a world, it starts with you and me and people love a good thing and know it when they see it. Let us work together, not against our potential.
@RunRichRun Yes! I like Sir Peter Ustinovs idea (his whole life, he worked for the utopia of a world citizenship):
The world is burning
and I'm writing about hope still.
My mother told me as a child
"Do not give up on this world."
And I never learned how to.
Everyone I love is still fighting
and refusing to give up on the light.
It takes a deep kind of courage,
to look at a burning world and say
"I will keep fighting for you.
Even here. Even now."
(Nikita Gill)
I was angry. I was in love with #penguins, and with #solarpunk, and #hopepunk. Therefore I decided: If the #evil makes #RealityGetsCrazy - everything is possible. Even the good. Let's imagine what *we* want and fight for our dreams! https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/fbdd3658-8415-466b-98d8-100a923820a0
