30% of adults feel lonely weekly. 59% don't trust the government. We've traded human connection for convenience – using self-checkout instead of talking to cashiers, scrolling feeds instead of calling friends. The efficiency cost us relationships. Time to choose connection over isolation.

Change is collective and sustained. Real movements know this playbook well: build small teams, connect them together, create lasting power. Learn how it actually works in this week's episode with Michael Ansara. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/tur...

We don’t have to choose between big crowds and strong leaders. The best movements have both. Your local group doesn't need to pick one approach. Rally people AND develop leaders. Different tactics work as teammates, not competitors.

Nearly 47,000 people died of gun-related injuries in the United States in 2023. As people protest for safety, @pulphusj reminds us that community care is part of public safety. Check in with a teen, support crisis care and safe storage, and keep showing up locally.

A 57-year-old meditation guru with no organizing background posted a video from his backyard calling for an "economic blackout." 8.5 million views later, Stephen King and Mark Ruffalo were promoting it. The most unlikely people can spark the biggest movements. Just like in Sharon McMahon's book.

Trump wants to cut federal funding from schools that teach about race, gender, or sexuality. He's creating a "credentialing body" to certify only "patriotic" teachers. Nearly half of US kids are already subject to laws requiring teachers to deny systemic racism exists. This is post-truth schooling.

Happy Labor Day! ✊ Today is a reminder that every right workers have was fought for by people who showed up, organized, and demanded better. Civic action works, whether it’s on the job or in our democracy.

“Revisionist history" might correct myths. It might uncover marginalized voices. But it also might just spread lies. The difference matters!

People are very down on the idea of racial justice because they can only see the progress that's already been made. Join us with @profhajaryazdiha.bsky.social to explore how true reckoning transforms healing—not by ignoring the past, but by creating accountability we haven't yet tried. Tune in!

ACLU is suing the Pentagon for banning books in military schools - including "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Fahrenheit 451," and books about civil rights. They're literally banning Fahrenheit 451. A book about... banning books. Kids deserve to learn real history, not sanitized propaganda.
