For me, hope is not a feeling of certainty about the future. It is born of the knowledge that we may do everything we can without the assurance that it will be enough. Hope is accepting that the arc of the moral universe may not bend toward justice — even if all of us push with everything we have.
Sadly Most Americans Educated Americans Are not paying attention They know buzz words Epstein Nat'l Guard Ukraine Gaza Musk tarrifs But they don't know what's actually Happening with any of them Asked an educated businessman In a most sophisticated city Who is Mike Johnson He did not know
"Cynicism asks nothing of us; hope demands everything." Wise words...
So true...it's very easy to be cynical and quite hard to be hopeful especially during these dark days.
I struggle with it on the daily. It's hard not to when every day screams out "fascist, fascist". But then they win. And they cannot be allowed to win.
You describe duty, not hope. Hope is what escaped from Pandora’s box to scourge mankind.
@marcelias.bsky.social For me hope is a fundamental feeling deep inside my spirit that tells me that everything will be ok. I am so powerless over so many things! For the life of me I don’t understand why he was able to put his name on the ballot

This is so sad. We only have hope now….
No matter what this divided country thought, Obama was the best of us all. He was Empathetic, Kind, Caring and A President 4 ALL People!! "He that Shall Not Be Named" is who he's always been!! Any Leader that's on their knees 4 a Dick-tator is no Leader, is weak n asking 2 get his shit taken!!😟🖕
Woke up and skipped breakfast?
If Trump somehow legitimizes a president's authority to run for a third term in office, does that not mean he could find himself facing President Obama in that contest?
You give me hope
Hope for me means believing I can shine a light on evil darkness, believing someone who can make a difference will see it.
Are you scared Marc. I told you these are the days of Haman.
They don't care ...the only thing they care about is retaining power...they have been working at this very outcome since Reagan.
At this point I believe the peaceful fix is closed factories. Truckers, pilots, train engineers going on strike.
I have come to understand that the arc of history quote became a dangerous invitation for passivity
Amen, Wade. We followed “hope & change” happily into facism.
🙌❤️
Yes. And it also might bend toward justice. We fight on not knowing how this ends. ✊
FUXK HOPE—I WANT ACTION WITH VIOLENCE, if needed, TO RESIST THIS FASCIST REGIME. ENOUGH TALK—MORE ACTION.
So while 'love' means acting out of love, even through times when we don't feel it So too, 'hope' means acting out our hope, even through times when we cannot feel it?
Heavy stuff, Marc.
I think we had too much Hope & we let our guard down. Hope is not a good strategy. And neither is going high when they go low.
🙏🏼
Well said
Found back in 1993 while I was undergoing cancer treatment -taped outside of an oncologist's office when the Jimmy Fund was being renovated. #Hope
... I agree a big component of Hope is not knowing the outcome
This is pure crap dude. Hope is knowing that you have done the right thing and faith, based on a sober understanding of reality and history that you will get the desired result.
Never giving up
Without hope, we would be hopeless. My hope is that history will repeat itself and good will conquer evil once again.
I think hope is just the pushing with everything we have part. Accepting that the moral arc may not bend toward justice is something else entirely.
Exactly.
These days Hope needs to be accompanied by a large dose of Courage.
Hope is a well funded drone program. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...
Oh shit, even Marc thinks we're FUCKED!
#HopeIsAmerica
At some point we must do what past heros did. Quit waiting on the arc to bend and just bend the damn arc by human force just as our forefathers did.
I hope that our american way of life (the Democratic experiment) endures.
