If Poilievre doesn’t have to live in his riding to run for MP, we shouldn’t have to live in his riding to vote against him.

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a whole cross-section of society—everyone, in some way, can participate. Find their way on deck.

We can do this.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

Finished up an embroidery adaptation of this art by Monica Trinidad, and I can now do the forbidden knot stitch in my sleep!

This one's headed for @palumboliu.bsky.social mailbox when I get back to work next week. #DHmakes

Not as much status anxiety when you're viewed as a second class citizen anyway.

Privilege makes people soft.
the strongest, bravest fighters we've ever had in our society have (nearly) always been women, by dint of their vulnerability in society, in physical pursuits and in power structures

Canada added three right-wing groups to its list of terrorist entities. Included on that list, the Proud Boys, an organization founded in 2016 by a Canadian living in the U.S. Do we really want Canada lead by a proud supporter of a terrorist organization? I think not.

What if I told you Martin Luther King, the Underground Railroad, Medgar Evers, John Brown's raid, Emmett Till's murder, Muhammad Ali, Fannie Lou Hamer, the Emancipation Proclamation, Rosa Parks and the Tuskegee Airmen all have the same origin story...

A nationwide slave revolt started it all.

The story of the Underground Railroad, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer and Emmitt Till begins with a national slave revolt.

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE WITH YOU, CANADA! 🙏🇨🇦🙏💜

WE WANT ELON MUSK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY TOO!
Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship.
He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values.
In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament.
I support them.

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

Anyway, I really appreciate you all here on Bluesky and for all the support.

I know people on Threads and other places feel like this place is too "resistance-y".

But I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war, ya know?

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.
