@cdarwin@c.imThe gun lobby is spending millions to protect its power
while young people are fighting for their lives.
As the year ends, we need to meet this moment with real urgency.

@markhburton@mstdn.social'Whether it’s left Labour MPs worried about retaliation from the whips, “Your Party” organisers arguing over the finances and structures of a new left vehicle, or Greens whose leaders still view a rapidly militarising EU as some kind of progressive force, we need more seriousness and urgency over the deadly threat to us all posed by the ruling-class drive to war.'

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialDisclaimer: IANAL I am not well-read on applicable laws.
POTUS executive military authority without Congressional Declaration of War should be limited to when full Congress can't be consulted due to urgency and secrecy. Best example I know is raid to get bin Laden — limited in scope, possibly limited time to act on intel, would've leaked the more who knew.
None of that applies to the slowly simmering situation with Venezuela.
@cdarwin@c.imOn July 18, a mild, overcast night in Nairobi, Kenya, a team of Donald Trump’s top foreign aid advisers
ducked into a meeting room at the Tribe Hotel,
their luxury accommodations in the city’s diplomatic quarter,
for a private dinner.
To press the urgency of the situation in East Africa, the embassy officials enlisted Dragica Pajevic,
a World Food Program veteran of more than two decades.
Pajevic arrived at the Tribe Hotel early. She brought props. The b…
@brichapman@mastodon.socialFor a long time, I thought activism had to mean constant urgency, burnout, and despair. But what if there’s another way—one rooted in love, not just resistance?
I started this Substack to explore activism that nourishes instead of depletes. You’re welcome here. 💖 https://substack.com/@bricchapman
@geant@mstdn.social🚨An email pops up: “Quick! Can you upload the contract here? My VPN’s down!”
It looks like your colleague. It feels urgent. But is it real? 👀
Smishing messages like these exploit trust and urgency, making us act before we think.
It’s easy to slip into autopilot when we’re busy.
But #digitalmindfulness means slowing down, even if for just a few seconds.

@cdarwin@c.imThe Santa Barbara City Council passed a temporary rent freeze
in a 4-3 vote on Tuesday,
putting a halt on rent increases for up to a year
while the City Council works toward drafting a more permanent rent stabilization ordinance
to be considered later in 2026.
The rent increase moratorium will be officially adopted next week
and would be effective 30 days later.
The council failed to get the fifth vote needed to qualify for an urgency ordinance,

@cdarwin@c.imThis summer, Mikhail Loshchinin set out for Russia on a motorcycle with German plates, reaching the border in Latvia on July 1.
At the Ubylinka checkpoint on the Russian side, he presented his Russian passport.
According to his mother, Olga, he didn’t use his Belgian passport because of the urgency of the trip and to avoid needing a visa.
Russian border guards examined Loshchinin’s phone and likely discovered his many contacts in Ukraine.
After holding him for several…
@brichapman@mastodon.socialWe rush through days counting minutes. But what if we're using the wrong kind of time?
The Greeks knew two types: Chronos (clock time) and Kairos (soul time). One measures. One reveals openings.
When we stop racing, something shifts. Endings become doorways. Crisis becomes life reorganizing itself.
What if the future isn't running out but circling back?

@brichapman@mastodon.socialAre you racing against time or listening to it?
We live by the clock. We measure speed and fear being late. But there is another kind of time.
A time of ripeness. Of openings. Of things becoming ready.
What if change isn't about hurrying? What if it's about sensing when conditions align?
