#nokings rally in north #Raleigh. Huge cheerful, peaceful turnout demanding change. Signs protested our loss of freedom, voting rights, and democracy. The wolf in the business suit is holding a bag of money and a sign that says “Beware of fascist wolves in Republican clothing.” #resist #NC

About a thousand people in Raleigh for #WorkersOverBillionaires protest. Good speeches, short march, perfect weather. A grandmother I marched next to said she was there for family and friends afraid to risk public protest.

Joanna Macy is an ancestor now. What a gift it has been for us to have her on the planet these past 96 years. May we carry her legacy onward, ever loving the Earth and all her creatures.

The propaganda of end-game capitalism is to get us to believe action doesn't matter. Why shop intentionally? Why vote? Why protest? It won’t save the world, so why bother?
This pervasive mentality leads us to shut up and consume, which ironically, are choices and actions.
Each. Choice. Matters.

@rebeccacampbell.bsky.social thank you for writing Arboreality. I just read “Scions and Root Stocks.” Such vivid solastalgia, heartbreaking and hopeful. I’m reading slowly so I can feel each story deeply, but this one is too beautiful to not praise right away. 🙏

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

My garden has a welcoming bench and signs that let the neighbors know that it’s a wildlife garden, not just messy. 😂
