A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action. #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say

Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

To every part of the world of every size having an election soon — Think really carefully before sitting it out, before thinking “they’re all the same,” before letting “the perfect” be the enemy of the rational & competent, and before assuming that “change” won’t end up being an absolute nightmare.

I recommend the video, and love the mindset that this is a murmuration of small dinosaurs.

Ben Goldfarb@bengoldfarb.bsky.social · last yr.

"hear me out: a murmuration, but instead of starlings, it's basically composed of pterosaurs."

Yes, no “giving up”. Our enslaved ancestors pressed forward through generations even when hope was bleak. We must do likewise.

A hard lesson - we are in a generational struggle, democracy included…

This is not rocket science, Dems. Identify the victims of Trumpism, give them a voice, and get their stories told.

The Big Lesson From Bernie Sanders’s Gangbusters Anti-Oligarchy Tour

The thousands of victims of Trumpism are out there. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion.

Good read, we need to be in the resistance for the long haul. Build narratives that highlight democratic patriotism and republican lack of values (to say the least). I signed up for liberalcurrents.com and look forward to reading more interesting articles.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Very nice interactive article about the possibilities of daylighting creeks in urban areas, focused on Canadian cities.

We are the resistance! There have been many generations before us facing dire circumstances. Now it’s our turn.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Democracy requires courage. It’s our turn to take up the mantle of protecting our democracy.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
