Trauma informed professionals-- in any field, not just medicine or therapy-- intentionally support survivors in feeling & accepting that they have wisdom & skill inside them that their trauma responses have temporarily made them doubt or forget about.

Ethical alternatives: brands to buy from if you boycott Israeli apartheid | Ethical Consumer
Boycotting brands that are complicit in Palestinian human rights violations is a powerful form of consumer activism, but how ethical is the product you buy instead?

Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information that's out there? Do you feel uncertain what to believe, what to think is fake, and what's a rumor?

One thing that kinda blows my mind:
I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am.
I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it.
But English-language Canadian media? Crickets.
It’s just so odd!

Hi. I’m Rachel.
My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say “celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s death.
There’s just one problem: I never did that.
But the people sending me threats don’t seem to care.
Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:

I’m flabbergasted. Can anyone else tell me what changed?🤔
I wrote a detailed essay on what media and politicians would say if they treated white extremists the way they treat Black, brown, Muslim, trans, and immigrants.
It’s going viral right now. Link:

We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words.
In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us about how her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal:

guided a yoga practice in the park downtown that felt performative because of a shirtless dude watching us from a balcony AND two leering cop cars as they drove by. we're allowed to exist in public spaces without folks being weird about it

Activists in Paris dyed a fountain red to symbolise what they called “the bloodbath” taking place in Gaza. The protesters said a lack of political will to confront Israel’s actions is increasingly being seen as “a form of complicity” with genocide.
