My kid’s college radio show always makes me so happy as a parent and as a college radio vet…tonight, just heard a few seconds of dead air followed by “sorry about that gap, I was thinking about math” and I wish my mathematician dad were still around for that moment.

It’s so sickening. Going to go try to focus on all the regular folks who are actually working for a better world despite not being in positions of formal power.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Waltercat just heard the Mamdani news and also all the other good election news. Some say cats are inscrutable, but that’s hope in his eyes. He says “I do not regret to tell you that we are going to win.”

A friend helps run a large food bank serving our state. Asked her how things look. For every 1 meal provided by a food bank, SNAP provides 9. They’re looking at a tenfold increase in need within days. There hasn’t been a threat of mass hunger in America like this in living memory. Help if you can 🍽️

My point (!) is this:
We’ve been taught that history happens in fits & starts & is generally the work of individual great men (…). That’s a lie.
We have a rich, deep, diverse history of resisting & rising up against oppression, & it all depended on the steady, painstaking work of organizing.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

What a beautiful piece. And this is what I always emphasize to my own students, and in fact said (in other words) today: “One cannot choose the time one is born into, but one can choose what to do with the time one has.”
So grateful to write for @dissentmag.bsky.social's Fall 2025 issue "Authoritarianism and Resistance." I drafted the piece in June with the new school year in mind, as an immigrant scholar severed from her homeland: What can we teach the young about how to exist and persist at this historic juncture?
