Adrian Carrasquillo: The Secret Weakness of Trump’s Deportations: Pressure can work to bring people home.
"IN SPITE OF THE DELUGE OF BAD NEWS about immigration, I was reminded this week that, as a retired farm laborer once put it to legendary Chicago journalist and radioman Studs Terkel, “hope dies last.” Specifically: … his administration is still vulnerable to pressure campaigns to release sympathetic immigrants.

#Superman is the hero 2025 needs, and #JusticeLeague writer Mark Waid knows why: "There is a sense of dread that is an undercurrent to every moment of our lives," and "Superman is always the symbol of #hope"
Sometimes the most hopeful news gets drowned out by the noise: 
In 2024, clean electricity generation, quietly surged past 40% for the first time since the 1940s. Led by solar’s explosive growth, this isn’t just progress—it’s disruption in motion. The fossil era is fading.

World surges past 40% clean po...
New life, new hope. Today's timeline cleanser is about hope. It takes patience when your world is dark but there wil always be new life, new opportunities and new love somewhere around the corner. Like sunshine after the rain.
I wish for you new hope to unfold. Hold on until then 
Seems like a good day to remind folks of Bill Moyer's 4 Kinds of Activists & 8 Stages of a Movement... and the role that hopeful #climatefiction can fill in the fight.

“The optimists among us
taking heart because it is spring
skip along
attending their meetings
signing their e-mail petitions
marching with their satiric signs
singing their we shall overcome songs
posting their pungent twitters and blogs
believing in a better world
for no good reason
I envy them
said the old woman…”

A close friend, so close, was sure, so sure, that Kamala was going to win. Practical implications of Kamala being VP to a genocide just didn't register.
They may have been blinded by #Hope.
People go on, and on, about hope. It's not essential, has huge dangers and may seem so important as our culture had for the longest time a sure and certain hope in the Resurrection.
What if we had sure doubts and certain ambivalences?
Would my close friend have bet a grand on Kamala?
The Hands Off protests yesterday, which were (let's not mince the truth here) antifascist and pro-democracy rallies, have lifted my spirits in a way that has made me feel that we actually have more options available than we realize. And not just on the political front, but also on the personal front. We must not get in the habit of being doormats to this regime. Or, for that matter, to the subtly sinister parasites in life.
#Joy, #faith & #hope all well in my heart listening to this.Thank you #indivisible.
*By this we know love!*that he laid down his life for us!*& we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers!
Exactly all of this 
I can't stress enough how not in the slightest joking I am when I say that I believe the world would be a better place if people exposing themselves to the many pessimistic, if not outright nihilistic shows permeating entertainment in the past few decades had been watching Doctor Who instead...
Try to be nice but always be kind

“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well,” Czech dissident, writer and statesman Václav Havel said, “but the certainty that something is worth doing no matter how it turns out.”

#protest #vetoproject2025 is going better than I expected in Appleton, WI. I only witnessed two trump trucks and 1 altercation between a driver and a protester. I would estimate 3/4 of a mile worth of protesting. Refilled my #hope today. #handsoff #handsoff2025
"Gerade ging ein Video aus der Türkei viral, in dem ein gelbes Pokémon in Trippelschritten vor der Polizei davonläuft. In dem Kostüm steckte der 21-jährige Hasan Taşkan, der nach eigenen Angaben einfach gern Menschen zum Lachen bringt. Politisch interessiert sei er nicht, aber er wünsche sich,eine Türkei, in der alle Menschen glücklich leben und,„in der jeder die Freiheit hat, seine ldeen frei zu äußern." TAZ
