It’s a week of sharp pivots and steady growth, where change is unfolding across industries, institutions, and communities. From scientific breakthroughs to social victories, the momentum is undeniable.
While old systems still linger (yes, like signal-gate. No, we're not going into that today. Lol) new possibilities are breaking through in classrooms, courtrooms, and everyday spaces. What we’re seeing isn’t just resistance—it’s reinvention. It’s the tangible result of people choosing different, showing up, and shaping what comes next.
This is what it looks like when change takes root.
A High Schooler Discovers a Black Hole: A California teen made headlines after discovering a now-dormant black hole—a record-setting find—reminding us that the universe is still full of mystery and magic, and that brilliance doesn’t wait for credentials.
The Fish Doorbell is Back: Utrecht, Netherlands, brought back its quirky and beloved "fish doorbell" livestream, letting citizens alert authorities when fish are ready to migrate. Now in its fifth year, it’s slow TV with an activist twist—and a gentle reminder that activism can be playful, local, and deeply effective.
"Everyone Is Welcome" Shirts Go Viral: When a teacher in Boise refused to take down a sign in her classroom saying "Everyone Is Welcome Here," her local message became a national movement and a local T-shirt shop has blowing up with orders. Now, thousands are wearing it loud, clear, and proud.
Kermit the Frog to Give Commencement Speech: The University of Maryland is inviting Kermit the Frog to deliver its commencement address in honor of alum Jim Henson. Yes, it’s adorable. And yes, it’s a reminder that the face of imagination and inclusion belongs in our institutions.
Solar Eclipse Energy Incoming: This Saturday’s solar eclipse arrives in the sign of Aries, inviting a deep energetic reset. Eclipses are cosmic thresholds—activating turning points, bold realizations, and the release of old patterns that no longer serve. As the light bends and reshapes, so too do we, called to step into greater alignment with what wants to emerge.
Egg Prices Finally Falling: After months of inflation, egg prices are dropping fast—down 63% from February highs—thanks to recovering inventories and a mysterious slowdown in bird flu cases.
Target Boycott Still Working: Target has now lost $12.8 billion since it rolled back DEI commitments. Foot traffic is down by 2.5 million shoppers, and the company has had to shut down TikTok comments. Meanwhile, Costco raised worker pay to $30/hour. Contrast speaks volumes.
Musk Stepping Down from DOGE: Elon Musk, serving as a "special government employee", has announced plans to conclude his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by the end of May. Thank God.
Consumer Protections Preserved: A federal judge has blocked Trump’s attempt to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, preserving one of the country’s last walls for holding predatory corporations accountable.
Blue States Get their Workers Back: A ruling earlier this month required the Trump administration to rehire workers from 18 federal agencies. This week, a judge narrowed that decision to apply only to states that participated in the lawsuit against the trump administration. Meanwhile, attorney generals who did not go to bat for their states will not be required to be rehired. It pays to protect your people.
Democrat Wins in Deep Red Pennsylvania: James Malone flipped a previously Republican state senate seat in PA’s 36th district. Malone's victory reflects growing voter dissatisfaction with the current federal administration.
Kentucky Governor Vetoes Conservative Bills: In a bold move, Governor Andy Beshear vetoed major conservative bills targeting abortion, Medicaid, and DEI initiatives. It may be a red state, but progressive leadership is holding the line.
Tim Walz Calls for Democratic Revival: The Minnesota Governor is pushing for a bolder, more inclusive Democratic strategy, urging the party to stop playing safe and start listening deeply. He emphasized the urgency of addressing public demands and criticized influential figures like Elon Musk for their impact on government programs. Walz highlighted the need for Democrats to advocate for their policies and improve voter outreach.
These moments are energetic markers of a deeper shift. Not just in policy or perception, but in the frequency we hold as individuals and the way that frequency ripples out into the world around us.
This shift begins within. Each time we choose alignment over reaction, compassion over control, or truth over comfort, we shift molecules in real time. When we tend to our own energy—our thoughts, feelings, actions, and choices—we become transmitters of change. We create the field that allows old systems to fall away and new structures to take shape.
The stories we’re seeing are proof that inner change is never isolated. It moves through the collective and it's WILDLY contagious.
So as the outer world is changing, ask yourself: what are you releasing? And what are you creating newly?
