“When we only name the problem, when we state complaint without a constructive focus on resolution, we take away hope. In this way critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture.” bell hooks, Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope (2003)

I take a deep breath, followed by a sip of coffee. I remind myself to appreciate the beauty and live in the moment. I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but as of now I’m watching the sun rise. There’s a crisp, cool breeze flowing through the trees. I’m grateful that I get to be here for one more day.

You people trying to rewrite the history of who Charlie Kirk was are pathetic. He used his organization to bully, dox and attack people he didn't agree with. Free speech my ass. He was one of the worst aspects of American politics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Our @local26-unitehere.bsky.social workers are an essential part of the Fenway Park experience.

Their labor matters, but their lives matter too.

Proud to join them on the picket line as they strike for fair wages, job security, and a fair contract.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer.

Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go.

It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.
