These declines are MASSIVE.

And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.

“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”

THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.

Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

"Freedom first takes root in our visions for a radically just space-time continuum..."

I just found out that great Alice Wong has crossed over. She fought for justice and a better vision for the world her whole life. Her impact is immense, and her legacy broad and deep.

Rest well, warrior.

🪄✨APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN✨🪄 for our Summer 2025 Undoing Internalized Ableism Cohort! Consider applying if you are disabled, do movement work, and are serious about undoing internalized ableism both personally and within movement spaces.

🔗 Apply at PeoplesHub.org before August 9, 2pm PT / 5pm ET.
Over a yellow background, text reads as follows: “Undoing Internalized Ableism Cohort. Apply by August 9, 2pm PT / 5pm ET. Our goal is for disabled people to support one another so we can effectively contribute to movements without killing ourselves to do so, and decide for ourselves how we can push each other to meet the demands of what is happening to us. We want cohort members to leave with the tools, skills, and analysis to support other disabled people in undoing internalized ableism.” Date and time info says "Beginning September 5 and continuing through October." More info + apply: PeoplesHub.org. Over a yellow background, text reads as follows: “What is the Undoing Internalized Ableism Cohort? A 6-week program to equip disabled organizers with tools and strategies to combat internalized ableism and to work through the question: How can this work be collective? The cohort will participate in 5 workshops on peer support, self-advocacy, collective care, and disability liberation. Accountability groups will provide support and deeper reflection, and there will be 4 collaborative spaces to work on final projects and connect with other participants. The cohort is facilitated by a team of disabled organizers, some of whom have previously participated in the cohort themselves.” Yellow background with centered image of potted plants on shelves. Title at the top reads: “Elements of the Cohort.” Around plants are listed Cohort elements: “popular education-style workshops, workbook, weekly collab space, accountability groups, midway check-in with facilitators, final project, reflections and evaluations.” Over yellow background, text reads, “Reflections From Past Participants.” Reflection from Heena S. of Project LETS reads: “i didn't expect how powerful it would feel to be in a small cohort of rad disabled organizers (and with so many BIPOC!) even just over a few weeks. i was also really impressed with the thoughtful and thorough intention behind the workbook, building in space for the accountability groups, the facilitation modeling DJ so well, and all the content that was shared.” Heena’s headshot below.

lots of buds ask 'chuck how do you maintain such a positive outlook?' i think practice of gratitude is different for all, so looking for a kind of quick antidote that will rewire your whole brain is rarely the trot. many small steps. its called a practice for a reason. still, maybe my story can help

Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne.

#SinsInvalid reminds us: “As we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us:

Check in on a friend.
Cook a meal.
Support someone at the edge.
Practice Disability Justice in real time.”
A bright illustration of Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, who smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”

With deep sorrow, we share that Sins Invalid’s Co-Founder & Director, Patty Berne, joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025.

Patty’s brilliance, love, and vision shaped how we move, care, resist, and imagine. We honor her by continuing the work she led.

You may have seen memes, t-shirts, tattoos claiming the Mayan phrase "in lak'ech ala k'in" means "you are another me, I am another you" or words to that effect. A sort of Indigenous "namaste," if you will.

Well, nope.

Written in standard Mayan, the phrase is "in láak'ech a láak'en."
