A very hard part that we are now getting to is that a lot of people don’t want actual change and safety

They want to be the ones in charge of change and safety

They judge how something is effective by how they feel and if they feel in control.

That can be MORE problematic than indifference
People on here who are poo-pooing Booker underestimate the power of storytelling in politics.

Not an original thought, but if you ever wondered if procedural due process is a sort of hollow right, we have now been instructed fully why it exists and people care about it. The Government is just scooping up basically random people and putting them in foreign prisons.

I would like a well organized, materialist strike with racial and informational justice at its core , and compensation for NYC as well as my hazard pay and rate to save civics…

Is Corey Booker that

NOPE

is it something ? That he is doing that puts him at risk and shows resistance

ABSOLUTELY

I hope the protesters are okay.
Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

If you're worrying about supporting Amazon today or ever, a lot of trans authors are starting stores on Itchio.
I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.
One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator

The flip side of the coin: Alliances are built by choosing who you protect in a time of danger.

If you know who you want to be allied with, now is the time to protect them.

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

we seem to have started another day with this administration where even its fiercest critics refuse to name white supremacy's role in all of this. RFK JR isn't dumb. He is a white supremacist trying to justify starting up work camps and child separation. Call the thing what it is.

This is fucking fire but also, amazingly, the judge is doing her damned best to establishing on the record that they don’t have a rational basis for their actions.
Another extraordinary exchange just now about "animus" in the court hearing on trasngender members of the military:

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism.

A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer.

Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore.

They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

A thought model I am using a lot right now is divestment.

I am thinking a lot about where I have invested time, energy, money, trust, and other finite resources in ways of being that rely on the state and corporate apparatus.

I am working to be intentional about transitioning those investments.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

First shop update is one of our two giant squid friends! Y'all I love this guy. Also one is a battle-tested warrior with 7.5 legs instead of 8 legs and he's our favorite so we listed him anyway, but you have to fight if you want him.

Bushtits are very social birds. They travel together in large flocks during the winter, and the younger birds help their parents with nesting. Here an adult male is snuggling with a recently fledged male.

Don’t just like posts, repost them. There is no algorithm so the way to build a good timeline for everyone is to repost the good stuff. (And yes that means your own good stuff)
