🪡 And by the by, the budgets of harm are brimming by the billion (150 billion).
Where are the #budgets for healing, wholeness, #tending and #repair?
We are going to need them when the political football ends.
A nation is a network of communities none of which can sit on the fence about Federal Emergency Management, Transportation Security for the sake of sacrificing our friends, neighbors or ourselves to padding the budgets of separation, division and devastation.
🪡 The community cannot tolerate a lack of agreement or prolonged struggles without purpose because that withers the ties that sustain generations.
Community gave a proxy to the politic and the community is charged to take it back in order to restore the values, principles and practice of union.
🪡 The community cannot spare one child or one elder. The community cannot willfully spoil its drinking water or contaminate its life giving soil for the whims of one because that act endangers all.
🧵 Community or chaos?
This is still the essential question of domestic life after the civil rights era.
Every single time we chose anything over #community, we all lose.
No, it’s not either/or.
It’s still both, and.
✅ Environment and human rights.
✅ Climate and community.
✅ Democracy and decarbonization.
✅ Energy and equity.
✅ Care and labor.
✅ Culture and civics
Find your crossroads and stand in it, with your whole heart.
The real, material, economic, and geopolitical consequences are no respector of #political boundary or imagination or even the #social construction of the #person.
Play climate games, win climate #consequences.
#people4planet
#conscience
#care
Go on and play #games with the words and the whistles, the policy and the practices. . .
☕️ #Climate can not be written out of our recollection, our experience or our future. . .
Who has time for drama?
The time is now for the #praxis, #people and #prayer.
Reach out to talk #climate, #environment, #energy and #ecosystems as #economy.
Miss me with the bot derived talking points, gossip and evacuation plans.
#teamearth y’all.
Still.
Right back at you, family!!
This piece was challenging to contribute to b/c the analysis has deepened, the chasms of care that cracked open are decades old. The kids that are blamed for developing language have aged into young elders/yelders, grantmakers of conscience & #intervenors. And the dollars aren’t there for it, yet. 👇🏿
Hi family it’s @tamaraity.bsky.social
☕️ Mobilize for what matters and organize for the generations.
#freedc It’s free but it is not cheap.
☕️ Spend the day seeking those who are offering up their hearts, hands and humanity to the frames being crafted and handed down about reality. Invest in their amplification and #return to what’s real, with your mind in tact.
☕️ The only #solutions for a degraded and distant democracy are those that spring out of #love, #care, #community and #connection.
☕️ Crime and punishment narratives have designed and delivered dystopia, draconian daymares and #systems that generate and profit from division.
Rhetorically they operate as a projection tool of dictators and anti-democracy death dealers trading your #sanity for the illusion of #safety, at cost.
👉🏾 The rise of authoritarianism must be matched by a rise in solidarity with the voices, visions, values of those risking their lives to protect democracy in her hours of need.
Your silence did not protect you before and will not offer any safety now.

You are not fighting for them.
Because a stable #planet is for everyone, every one of us. The lovers, stewards, the savers & even the grifters, the extractors & the hucksters are at home, on #earth.

📢 Get in & get loud if you are into:
✨Growing food
✨Breathing air
✨Drinking water
✨Housing despite climate fueled fire & flood
✨Not being poisoned & then paying every minute to die painfully.
#people4planet
☕️ Despite the branding issues #Environment, #climate & #energy work is not feels, vibes or polling.
It’s ecosystem health & life itself. The fixes aren’t just political, economic or social it’s all of the above.
It’s not for some people it’s for #everybody.

This is the content we need. Literally.
🪡 The healing part of realizing it is reckoning with the sorrow.
Healthy if not happy #4thofjuly
🪡 Light the way with your #vision and the sound of your no. Bang on child, taking the ancestors with you as you go. #Cry lowder than the boom, to put out the sparkler that fades. Brazenly #push towards the promises which were good today and will be better #tomorrow.
🪡 We are more than attempts to break the connection, we are more than a dollar, a generation or pretense of perfection.
We are an expression of life forging on, to the always was. We are made of more we than we can see, and we are certainly more than today’s grief.
🪡 I’m with you and them that are gathering, catching and holding the pieces. We stitch what has been torn as our daily portion, knitting our past and our ever present, until we converge in the future.
🪡 because . . . the bots, the sound bytes and the taking is not our work.
The being and the doing and the loving is, again and again.
🪡 I see the sea of folks on these very shores demanding change, piling in, showing up to be more.
I grieve the news that won’t cover all that she never ever was and I vow with many others to witness, to will it, to stay human. . .
🪡I grieve the grift and the grab and the gutting but you had better believe I am clear on the planned flooding; the sensory overload is more than it seems, the forced scarcity and the violence, the choices to be mean.
