“When people are more concerned that a trans girl might play on a softball team than that the climate crisis might profoundly devastate the biosphere and much of life on it, human and otherwise, for the next 10,000 years, the media has failed”

Many of us gave our all to this election - but many of us also knew deep in our bones that it’s all about building real social movements. We should be proud and also take from the scale of this victory some much needed clarity: we are in a fascist moment. It is a fight for our lives.

Will the Resistance rise again? It’s too soon to tell: “‘Resignation could quickly turn to rage,’ said Dana R. Fisher…’The resistance will rise like a phoenix but it is going to be a fire-breathing phoenix this time around.’” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
A ‘resistance’ raced to fight Trump’s first term. Will it rise again?
Some who helped form the Trump resistance are ready to challenge him a second time. Others, exhausted and feeling hopeless, say they need a break.

Lots of my conversations about Saving Ourselves (since well before last Tuesday) were about how a Trump election would accelerate our progress towards the mass mobilization that’s needed. This recent piece by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social talks through that path:

The United States’s political tumult has not changed the physics of climate change.
The climate story is only going to get bigger, and it’s journalism's job to help audiences understand why that is happening and, crucially, that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

Plenty of pundits are telling us “cheer up, Trump’s all hot air. He doesn’t really mean it.” History is littered with such self-deceptions, and they don’t age well. In fact, these confident chin-strokers have often proved to be a major part of the problem.
