A win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to terminate deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in the U.S., halting their removal to Haiti.

There can still be joy.

No, that's not right.

There still HAS to be joy. This is a long fight, not a short skirmish, and we'll never make it if we don't find joy.

On Friday, I got together with a group of new community friends, and we made silly art while we talked about rage.

This is the way.

I know this friend and she is such a lovely person. If you have even £1/$1, it can make such a difference for her facing this.

🚨WRITER BEWARE🚨

I've just gotten an email from a new "self-publishing platform" called Written (written.app), which is making suspiciously extravagant promises about the benefits they offer to authors.

After further research, this is just "upload your book with us and make it an NFT :)"

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets.

It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger.

All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly.

It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Look, it's not just one of the best movies ever made, it's also a good primer in how to engage in resistance and how to bring others along.

Okay, so joy as resistance has been completely removed from its original context, and that’s why what you know of now doesn’t really work.

I would have voted yes. They called a procedural vote without notice & I like 8 others didn’t make it there on time. Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional. He should be subpoenaed & answer to our committee. They should call the vote again with notice.

I think this literally violates the equal protection clause so hard that it should smash on the ground into smithereens. What could more violate the equal protection clause than a law that forbids examination of one group but not another?

Yes.
Also to be clear, hope is NOT toxic positivity. Hope is not passive.

My hope is active, determined, protective, viscous, and vengeful.
