James Bradbury<p>&quot;...there is a spectrum of engagement... while continuing to participate in a system that they intellectually understand is unsustainable and self-destructive AND is also essential to their livelihoods and immediate wellbeing.</p><p>This tension is not irrational or illogical. Nor is it a ‘knowledge-action gap’...it’s about how they feel because this tension is a logical emotional response to the complexity of our world.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-well-off-brits-know-collapse-coming-still-stay-harrison-plastow-qerae/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">linkedin.com/pulse/why-well-of</span><span class="invisible">f-brits-know-collapse-coming-still-stay-harrison-plastow-qerae/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>climateaction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>collapse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftDenial" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoftDenial</span></a></p>
dillyd<p>I wanted to go to bed early and I said, "because I'm a lazy girl", but it didn't feel right to say that, even as a joke. So I corrected myself, and said, "actually I'm a tired girl who's been worn down by life."</p><p>So anyway, just a reminder: be kind in your self talk</p>

Jonathan Kamens<p>Look, if you put your resistance org on Discord, you're saying, "We don't mind if the government can access the entire chat history of everyone in our org and eavesdrop on us in real-time," because Discord is an American tech company, and there isn't a single American tech company that has shown any willingness to resist the Trump administration in any substantive way.<br>Any resistance org using Discord is either dangerously incompetent or a false flag.</p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>A proposed new law in Texas, by Republican Tom Oliverson, would make it illegal in that state to identify as trans, which he's calling "Gender Identity Fraud." The law would punish people who identify as trans with up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. </p><p>Probably not long before Trump tries to do the same on a federal level. Whoops, he kinda already did with passports.<br>And with his illegal transferring of trans women prisoners into male prisons, in violation of several court orders. There are already reports of sexual assaults against these women.</p><p>Remember, first they came for the trans folks, and undocumented immigrants, and people didn't speak up because they weren't one of them.</p><p>Then they came for documented immigrants and those with legal residency because they spoke out against the Genocide in Gaza; as well as cis women of color, because they didn't conform to white, bourgeois ideals of femininity.</p><p>No one is free unless we ALL are free.</p><p><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-gb/crime/general/new-texas-bill-that-would-make-being-trans-a-felony-sparks-fury-there-s-no-fraud-in-being-trans/ar-AA1At24d" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-gb/crime/general/ne</span><span class="invisible">w-texas-bill-that-would-make-being-trans-a-felony-sparks-fury-there-s-no-fraud-in-being-trans/ar-AA1At24d</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsMatter</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>immigrants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a></p>

Qasim Rashid, Esq.<p>The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.</p>
