The mind must be taught patience with the heart. The heart must learn faith from the body. The body must be tended lovingly and unwaveringly, an infant. The heart will take its own sweet time, and can not be rushed. thecultofmindy.com/poems/discip... ~Rise of the Trust Fall by Dr. #MindyNettifee

Registration is open! Join us for a midsummer ceremony, an opportunity to connect and ground in a community of care as the summer solstice approaches in the Northern hemisphere: thewayoftheriver.com/gifts-of-the...

Anyway, get to ground. It's always my *advice* [when I offer any]. Get hyper local. Find your people and fight where you are. This is where you can make the most impact and a real difference. Do this as much as you can, take care of yourself, and take care of your people.

Mounds of data show the benefits of food security, including lower crime rates, reduced recidivism, and improved public safety. The U.S. should be working toward expanding SNAP, not celebrating the loss of it.

In fact, it’s evidence that you’re wise, compassionate, and you offer yourself to the world,even when it’s hard." thewayoftheriver.com/gifts-of-the...

White people who would rather live in fascism than make space for Black voting power says a lot about #InternalizedRacism and the depth of #antiblackness in the USA. In the #Treme, in #Tulsa, again & again #whiteness chooses to destroy centers of #Black flourishing rather than end #supremacy culture

When political leaders invoke or distort the name and image of God to justify exclusion, cruelty, or domination...they are attempting to reshape #moral #imagination. For faith communities, this creates both risk and responsibility... -Rev. Dr. Cassandra Gould, @faithinaction.bsky.social

On this day in 1898, Septima Poinsette Clark was born. She became a tireless advocate for education and civil rights. Martin Luther King, Jr., called her the “Mother of the Movement.” Her motto was “literacy means liberation.” #WeTheMen

As she talked about
gardening
the old punk noticed
my attention was drifting,
apologetically I explained
it feels odd to think 
about building a garden
at a time like this,
and the old punk replied 
at a time like this
all of us need to think about building a garden.

The civil rights movement did not start in the Supreme Court and it will not end there. Six lawyers in robes do not decide whether we have political power. We do. By organizing. By building. By running for office. By voting.

But we did not get the Voting Rights Act because the Court was generous. We got it because Fannie Lou Hamer testified. Because Amelia Boynton Robinson got beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and got back up. Because organizers built it. The Court cannot take what was never theirs to give.

the same country that destabilizes governments and creates conditions that force people to leave their homes attacks them once again at the destination that should be safe haven. May we take bold action to defend #TemporaryProtectedStatus... @uusc4all.bsky.social #TPS www.uusc.org/what-is-temp...

Reminder that LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER. When ICE comes to your district to buy a warehouse to turn into a concentration camp, commissioners and city council members can make it difficult. Refusal to allow utilities, zoning rules, etc. Vote on behalf of every human in danger of being detained.
