They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Remember. It’s never:
We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t.
No more Niemölling.
We fight because they are coming for anyone.
Every single person matters.
Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

Sometimes I read "news" & think of the fdbk I'd give if it were written by 1 of my HS students. That pesky passive voice! WHO's making decisions about what kind of power is in? Careful w/word choice. Consider "FASCISM" instead of "hard power." @nytimes.com @peterbakernyt.bsky.social #wordsmatters

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades.
