I don’t know, U.S.- but it looks like you’re waking up. Signals from NY, Chicago, DC, Philly, Atlanta - streets are full, voices rising. Even Florida’s alive. Something is stirring in the hive. And when it moves together, nothing can stop it.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Russia INVADED Ukraine—NOT the other way around. Trump is blaming Ukraine for bravely defending their people against 3 years of attacks against mothers, children, preschools, apartment buildings, and energy infrastructure.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Paul Newman—captured here on set in 1958, reading The New Yorker—would have been 100 today. Revisit Louis Menand on how the public’s perception of Newman contrasted with how the actor saw himself.
