Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for tomorrow’s May Day protest!
We know the protests have been coming fast, but that’s because things in the U.S. are getting worse, and protests show the strength of our movement.

The president who in 2020 had unidentified federal agents deployed against protesters is now encouraging a foreign dictator to build more prisons to accommodate "homegrown" "criminals," as he ignores a court order to effect the return of a guy sent to a foreign prison without any due process.

I'm not normally one of those "the media just does whatever the ruling class says" types because usually media motivations are more complex than that, but the way they've circled the wagons on the Luigi Mangione Is Evil thing is probably the purest example I've ever seen of the ruling class's fear

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re in this position right now. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago.
We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

There is far more money to be made in housing than rocket launches. The reason there is no Elon Musk of housing is that it is several orders of magnitude harder than rockets.

New here? Same.
What now?
How about we try to remember while scrolling through that these are all real people, living a life as complex as yours - perhaps more challenging, more painful.
They're celebrating victories, facing struggles, figuring things out - just as you are.

Hey
You know that one project?
That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good
enough or brave enough or strong enough?
Spend 15 min on it today
Keep the dream alive
Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.
