"Sorry I'm late. I had a lot to learn."
I love the spirit of this. I feel that it's important to welcome and include newcomers to the resistance movement. Resistance is not like the fandom of an indie band. No need to prove that we're cooler than the newbies. No need to shame or disrespect them.

If you like treating people with cruelty, please find a fully informed adult who likes to receive cruel treatment. Negotiate freely given consent on both sides, and get a room. Have fun, in a risk-informed way.
Don't make it your political strategy. The rest of us did not consent to this.

“I swore an oath to the Constitution, not a person," she says. "I just really, really implore my peers and everybody outside looking in, to just think about that. Really think about that, and think about what that means. And if there are questions, ask them. Keep talking."

I'm very much obliged to a friend for pointing out this morning that what we're seeing is an active war on information.
I had been thinking of it as very sloppy #epistemology; however, it's more than that.

Deep uncertainty for SNAP beneficiaries—39 percent of whom are children—continues, with President Trump seemingly doing everything he can to keep aid from reaching the country's neediest.
Trump's war on the hungry continues with Supreme Court stay
The pause allows, for now, the president to keep using hungry Americans as a political weapon.

Yes! The thing abt public libraries that is so beautiful & crucial is the idea that *anybody* could do this — you need no credential, there’s no gatekeeping, literally any person can be an intellectual. You can come from absolutely nothing & yet, by means of curiosity + work, create real knowledge
I wrote a significant chunk of my first book at a Chicago Public Library, an amazing public space where people could read books and newspapers, access the internet, or just keep warm for a while on a cold day. This is appalling.
CPL is an absolute palace to the people and these proposed cuts are abominable. Artificial austerity. Chicago folks, read this, check the links to bug the mayor and your alders—this can be fought and won.

Perhaps I shouldn't comment on the true meaning of Christmas, since I'm Jewish, and also not a big fan of Charles Dickens. But I can't resist the temptation to post this.

With Trump enacting wholesale harm, I'm grateful for our orgs in the #MA7 standing in the gap providing essential services, protecting our neighbors, & more.
I held check-ins with La Colaborativa & Chelsea Black Community to hear from them & how we can continue our work to support our communities.
