The phrase “Hold Fast” comes from centuries-old nautical tradition. Sailors carved or tattooed the words across their knuckles as both a reminder and a plea: when the storm hits, grip the rigging and don’t let go.
So to all who feel the deck pitching beneath them: HOLD FAST.

Compare / contrast: see how fast the beauty queens stood up and walked out when Miss Mexico was insulted. No hesitation. Why? The local conference director had tried to control her social media postings. The queens showed the press how to defend not just class solidarity but freedom of speech. 3/
MISS UNIVERSE MELTDOWN - DIRECTOR CALLS MISS MEXICO “DUMBHEAD,” TRIGGERS MASS WALKOUT
The Miss Universe director publicly humiliated Miss Mexico, calling her a “dumbhead” then tried to flex his power when she spoke up

I want you to feel a glimpse of an ACTUAL healthy, un-sabotaged movement. I’m using this thread to post news articles that either ✅pass or 🚫do not pass the Sabotage Test, so you can start spotting them too. No joke knowing the difference is healing me. Adding more as I see them.
So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

A free zine to print out and distribute at marches.
I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!
If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

We’ve seen what happens when billionaires buy our government and implement disastrous policies that benefit only them at the expense of workers. We need to put workers over billionaires.

I wasn’t expecting to cry this morning. It’s something I don’t do often. But near the end of this interview when Khalil talks about missing his child’s birth, my heart broke. The loss of that moment is unimaginable to me. The cruelty is the point.

This author purposefully uses a fake headline to talk about what Democrats really are outraged about. Sorry for the spoilers but if I hadn’t known I wouldn’t have bothered to read this excellent opinion piece.
Wrote a piece on why Sydney Sweeney needs to be canceled.
