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?

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...

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.

“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.”

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press.
She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm
