"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.
The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:
“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

We really need to stop allowing the fascists to dictate how we talk. They've openly said that even criticizing them is criminal. Anyone who isn't them is a "criminal" in their eyes. They don't believe in due process.
Literally no one deserves to be kidnapped off the street and disappeared

This isn't it. Embracing the police-state rhetoric of people with criminal records as "the worst of the worst," even if only to show the Trump regime's hypocrisy, is not helpful and ultimately abets fascism and a white-supremacist government. One in every three US adults has a criminal record.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I will never forget the way our “pro-union” Democrat mayor used lawfare, intimidation, and a disgustingly cynical PR campaign to bully and break down some of the most essential and underpaid workers in Philadelphia—and nobody else should either.

Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.

It SHOULD be national news that trash is piling up everywhere and the morgue is full and strikers are being threatened by cops and our Dem mayor is at open war with the union leadership and thousands of essential workers are fighting this hard for a tiny raise! And yas wonder why Philly is so angry

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country.
Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding?
So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

I just finished installing my first exterior mural as the lead artist! It's pretty wild to think that I have a mural up in this big mural city. I've been working toward this for a long time. It centers around our dear Delaware River, the Lenape people, and the Bridesburg neighborhood. More to come!
