As it turns out, the ancient ways I have been seeking for us to go forward are embodied in the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa, Nguzu Saba.
Umoja (Unity)
Kujichagulia (self determination)
Ujima (collective work & responsibility)
Ujamaa (cooperative economics)
Nia (purpose)
Kuumba (creativity)
Imani (faith)

Mycelium makes deep networks & thrives from decay.
🍄 Be like mycelium. Keep growing in the darkness, transmute the medium into something you can use. Send up flowers & weave your web into the webs of others who support you.
Never give up.
Rest as needed.
This is the call.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

We might heal ourselves, if each human being was taught to learn about themselves; taught that working together creates more benefit than competition; that love & kindness are far more important than money; that community is the way to create equity; and no one is free until all beings are free.

In darkness, find the light
In winter’s cold, find the warmth
Find your community
And use that connection to weave a net of safety and protection
Forward, together
In whatever weather
We will illuminate the darkness, warm the cold spaces, create beauty,
manifest dreams.
Onward, forward, together.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

In times when a leader takes power who seems to stand against everything we value, it’s easy to slip into despair. But now, more than ever—is the time to hold onto hope. Hope isn’t naive; it’s an act of defiance, a way of refusing to let fear and hate shape our future. Your voice matters.

We SEE you Senator John Thune and you and your colleagues that want to cut our money our Social Security. You are thieves stealing from the people. We have paid into the program for years sometimes decades. Shame on you ALL! You are all absolutely shameless, reckless, cruel, and we will STOP THIS!🔥🔥

Sweden's remarkably clean power grid. In November, this was its electricity generation mix:

Hydro 38%
Wind 31%
Nuclear 28%
Bioenergy 4%

Zero coal or gas.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

When it all seems overwhelming
Everything uncertain
It’s easy to catastrophize.
But do not.
Focus.
How are YOU?
Feel what that is.
Can you do anything to nourish yourself?
Keep each other well.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Because you need a mess of help to stand alone.
