"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

We shouldn’t be trying to correct egg prices we should be using alternatives like applesauce.

This is not about eggs

If you tolerate white supremacy you promote white supremacy. Don’t give them legitimacy.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades.

Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

#witchsky be prepared and know what symbols you're using and looking at. Fascism has no place in our spaces. Remember that a lot of stuff has been co-opted by the far right and fascists, so use your critical thinking skills if you see something similar in posts. Fascists have no place in Valhalla ✌️

Showing up for your community is the greatest resistance
Visit and buy from your hyper local art markets, farmers markets and ethnic grocery stores and restaurants. Take classes at your local art center, music studio, urban farm or anything that's part of your local community. Just show up if nothing else.
Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.
