I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

This is the Playwrights’ Center, which first brought me out from NY to Minneapolis on a writing fellowship. It was where I taught, learned, developed work and had a great time for years.
I’m so proud of them for holding the line on DEI, despite the risk. Donating some $$ right now!

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

It feels like being on the Titanic if also 3 days before hitting the iceberg, the ship voted to hit the iceberg or not and the first class ppl convinced a majority of the passengers to vote “yes, hit the iceberg”. And then those same first class passengers sat in lifeboats watching everyone else die
This feels like being on the Titanic but without any lifeboats

Balancing living life, fighting for democracy where we can, and finding some joy to cling to in the midst of all of it.
We are living in precedented times…we have seen countries elect demagogues throughout history. We have seen the suffering doled out to the poor and marginalized. We have seen the death camps that regular people constructed and carried out murder inside.

I wrote about Trump's executive orders, including his attacks on trans and undocumented people, and how we should be orienting ourselves to defy fascist violence in this moment. This piece includes commentary from @chasestrangio.bsky.social and @silkys13.bsky.social.
A Brutal Beginning: Orienting Ourselves Amid the Shock and Awe
We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.

since the election, @jayboller.bsky.social and i have contacted roughly 66 (if my math is correct) mutual aid groups, nonprofits, and other orgs in the twin cities to bring you this frankly unwieldy list of local places to support with your time and money: racketmn.com/where-to-vol...
Mad? Sad? Motivated? 60+ MN Orgs Working to Make the Next 4 Years (and Then Some) Suck Less. - Racket
From LGBTQ+ advocacy to environmentalism to reproductive rights and beyond, these groups offer productive ways to fight for a better future.

What’s the quid pro quo? Fascist-in-chief doesn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit him. Tik Tok is going to funnel propaganda at Donnie’s behest. It’s going to be highly censored. This was the plan.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.
