Man, do you know what rules? Actually loving other people, reminding us that we deserve a government that cares for us, and inspiring us to meet our neighbors.

And Zohran Mamdani also placed *joy* and more awareness of history + changemakers as staples in his campaign. He provided space for people to learn and bond rather than just spit out figures and hokum.
I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

The extent to which educators at my school this week were spending lunch periods & before & after school trying figure out & respond to ICE fears & immediate food needs is heartening & absolutely infuriating. I know I can’t stay this mad all the time without health impacts, but fuuuuuck.

In addition to any monetary donations to local food banks & mutual aid efforts, donating grocery gift cards to local schools can be a great way to support your community through difficult times 💛

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

There is a robust conversation already about supporting students digital literacy abilities.
This is good & necessary & (from what I can see) happening.
I would offer that there is an equally compelling case for the need to practice perspective taking.
I wish this was more supported.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

“It’s not just these two reporters’ fates that are at stake here—and that’s important enough—but also the fundamental, constitutional right of a free press.”
Two journalists are set to be tried in Kentucky this week.
Their crime? Covering a protest of the immigration detainment of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Soliman’s lawyer called it a “cruel irony.”

Two months after their arrests while covering a protest, a pair of local reporters face criminal charges.
