A true, feel-good story for weary hearts!

Take your time to admire this beautiful catfish…. 🥰 🐈‍⬛

July 17th! Good trouble! goodtroubleliveson.org

This is an awesome opportunity. I've just submitted my proposed amendments. I encourage you to dream big and submit your own. It feels good to reach high and think about what is possible if we support the world we want to see come to fruition through our choices and values NOW.

Even when it feels like speaking up doesn’t change anything, keep going. It does.

THANK YOU, VANCOUVER! Over 8,000 of you showed to say loud and clear: NO KINGS IN AMERICA. We joined an estimated 12 million+ nationwide—about 3.5% of the U.S.—the tipping point for real change. Joyful. Peaceful. Powerful. This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings #Resist #VancouverWA #Imua

Anyone headed out fixin' to stand up in solidarity for LA and everyone else targeted by this regime, please consider using whatever tracking app you have on your phone like "Find My" to share locations with a few trusted family members or friends. If you get detained, your loved ones can find you.

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Thank you MSVA for publishing the backstory of Taffy's book! Although the editors left out the picture I mentioned of me reading to our dog Heidi back in the day, so I'm including it below.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

“Soft rebellion builds underground networks of care—mutual aid, resource sharing, protection. It weaves safety where the state seeks to unravel it.” www.kosmosjournal.org/kj_article/t... #cultureofcare 🌎

This is really beautiful and profound and gives genuine hope without blowing smoke up your ass. It is well worth the read.

By Megan Rothery: “Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.” docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Thank you @allcreaturesorg.bsky.social for the Taffy book love! 😽

A few months ago, I woke up and Taffy’s story was writing itself in my head. My heart is very happy today to be able to share it with you. I hope it brings comfort and smiles far and wide 😻 www.amazon.com/Tale-Taffy-P...

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Thank you, Senator Booker! Keep up the good trouble❤️🔥🇺🇸

Over 100 members of Congress have publicly called for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to RESIGN or be FIRED for his reckless incompetence. See the list and sign the petition at HegsethResign.org. Know a member that needs to be added to the list? Reply here!

Urgent Action: Alfredo (Lelo) Juarez, member of Indivisible Skagit, was violently taken By I.C.E this morning. He is being held at the NW Detention Center in Tacoma. Please call your elected officials and demand that they intervene and take action to get him out.

If they can’t turn her plane around, I hope there are at least massive protests! Hostile invaders should be treated as such.

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department. But there’s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...

Greenpeace is calling for public comments today to halt liquified natural gas expansion! engage.us.greenpeace.org/mLjbVcRq0UuM...?

If you live in WI, please vote! Early voting has begun! Muskrat is attempting to buy a seat on the WI Supreme Court. His ads attack Susan Crawford. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Done.

"I don't want to drive a car built and designed by an asshole," Kelly said. And that, my friends, is how you live your values like a boss.

AOC has more balls than Schumer ever will. Sad day for him and disappointing for his diehard supporters. When Trump says he’s “proud of” somebody, you better understand you can never trust that person. So gross and disappointing. The lesson here is to believe people when they show you who they are.

There are solutions…❤️

This is terrifying, but it doesn't have to end like this. We can help shape the future by acting now. The main gist is that Trump will very likely be attempting to declare martial law this spring. Please share widely and contact all your electeds about this, asking what their plan is to stop him.

👏  How we spend our resources is a reflection of our values. Choosing to spend our resources, including our time and money, to create the world we want to live in really does make a difference!

Please call your rep asap. This is not only an egregious violation of civil rights for this individual, but for the precedent DT is trying to set to make all protest illegal. Just like w/Jan 6, he’s pushing to see what he can get away with. If we don’t speak out now, it will get much, much worse.
