Human rights are under attack from a fascist regime, white people are having a national picnic, and Bernie Sanders is at Coachella.
At this point, I'm gonna go ahead and say the Savannah Bananas are gonna win the world series because what even is this timeline?

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time

Too many folks want to bypass accountability to get to community, but there is no community without accountability. Community isn’t just kumbayah & holding hands.
Community is built off trust. Trust is build off accountability. It’s the hard but necessary work that births community.

CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. If you don’t know what to say, go to 5calls.org, which literally makes calling your reps the easiest thing in the world. Keep calling. Become a nuisance. Do other shit, too… but at the very least, call them.

There is a template in this link to email the Treasury Department and file a civil liberties complaint under the Privacy Act of 1974 and demand that Musk be hit with criminal penalties. Please share, please email!
Time for Citizens to Hit Elon with a Privacy Act Violation

Just because the government won't recognize BlackHistoryMonth doesn't mean it stops existing.
Here's 7 ways YT people can celebrate:
1. Research Black leaders and how they organized
2. Take classes with Black educators
3. Read a Black history book by a Black author

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Add your state and federal representatives to your contact list; put them on speed dial. Call them as often as possible to let them know what you need and how best to represent you.
Find your local reps and talk to them, too.
Make sure your voice is heard through all levels of government.

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services.
We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

If you're wondering how we got here, look up the Overton Window.
There's more to it, but that's a great place to start.
It's also how they're going to shift everything farther right.

ICE raids now include places where "children gather, disaster or emergency relief sites, and social services establishments."
Churches and schools are no longer protected spaces.

White people, things to remember today:
If you're gonna quote Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., do so with intention and proper context.
Don't quote him to Black people. Just admit that you're wrong and keep it moving.

I made a patreon page to help create a community for those of us working to be actively anti-racist. It is free aside from any collaborations done with Black creators and other creators of the global majority, who will receive whatever is earned from those posts. I'm nervous and excited.

In about 15 minutes, I'll be shutting down my work computer and starting Wicked. Then I'm gonna make some dinner and watch Wicked. After that, I'll make some cocoa, and at 9:26:50, I'll start Wicked so I can ring in the new year with Cynthia Erivo singing Defying Gravity at midnight.

I posted this on threads. It is meant to be context for why many in the U.S. are not familiar with Robbie Williams and may be confused when it comes to his biopic.
Part 1:
Robbie Williams is an English pop singer known in the U.S. for two songs from the late 90s, Angels and Millennium.
