How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If you're in Mass and haven't added the LUCE hotline to your phone yet in case you see ICE, take two seconds and add it right now.

It's staffed 5am-9pm every day in multiple languages.

Hey Mass folks, I hate that this resource needs to exist, but it literally just came in handy.

You may know about LUCE from their ICE Watch Hotline (617-370-5023), but they also have a really comprehensive collection of other resources for immigrants at risk of ICE action. Maybe bookmark the link?

If showing up in community today felt great, imagine how cool it would be to always be working on building new worlds & resisting fascism!

Wherever you are, there’s probably projects to plug into. If there isn’t, you can get together with some friends or even just by yourself & start doing things.

@prisonculture.bsky.social has a great list of ways to get started.

(At this moment, it looks like a lot of ppl are going to need more help obtaining food really soon. If you’re not sure where to start, maybe see what resources are already in your community, and ask what kind of help they need?)

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.

@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

the part of me that still sincerely believes human beings are capable of equitable governance always gets a little verklempt by stories where a jury of regular people holds the line against fascism. braver than all of Congress tbh
underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

By quickly pushing people to believe that the elderly, disabled, poor, and others were a necessary sacrifice, the ruling class and corporations primed the public for more fascist incursions. They observed how many give in to destroying one another and themselves.

The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to be meeting needs, not falling in line behind fascist incursions

This is a new development in ICE tactics
two people stopped to document ice agents who'd pulled over a work van near grand/kostner in humboldt park around 6:30 this morning.

that's when they say ice agents blocked in their car, threatened them with arrest if they didn't stay put, and took photos/videos of them and their car.

get rid of the unconscious delusion of control that says “you, personally, are both capable of and responsible for altering the entire world”

replace it with an intentional delusion of control: “if you, personally, keep showing up and doing your best, the ripple effects extend beyond your lifetime”

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

Quite a few folks doing some of my favorite analysis on here & other social media sites have substacks & I’d love to be getting your long form! I have almost no indie author newsletters in my inbox anymore because the majority of folks newsletters are on the white supremacist transphobia platform 🥲

I see yet again people are pretending antifa is a real thing as an organized group in the world when the things far left activists are best at organizing are: feeding people, loaning each other the same $20 constantly, & arguing amongst themselves. Oh & assigning reading.

Actually, we *don't* gotta hand it to him! The technology for mRNA cassette vaccines was in development for literal decades prior to COVID, all he gets credit for is not actively hindering the process!

Trump: “vaccines work, no controversy at all… those vaccines should be used. Some vaccines are so amazing… a lot of people think COVID [vaccine] is amazing.”

I’m not active on fb but I do still belong to a lot of different chronic illness groups there & it’s really striking how much mis/disinfo is still spreading even in the face of 10/10 veil lifted MAHA ableism.

it really speaks to how medical neglect breeds distrust & opens the door to charlatans.

This is great news

Sesame Street is the last remnant of the idea that television could educate and uplift kids and instruct them on how to be decent citizens and make them feel understood rather than persecuted

It needs to be where everyone can see it
Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026

This is a fantastic way to educate children

It’s a form of resistance.

Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.

These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.
