I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>

The Faith Matters Network used to have an emotional support hotline for activists but it doesn't appear that this is running anymore. I have had a few requests for such a resource over the past two weeks. Anyone know of something similar that exists now?

Too often, tech creates logistical problems that disrupt learning.
My 6th grader's school, for ex, uses Chromebooks for everything. But the kids haven't learned typing, so work takes longer than by hand. And they often forget to charge the devices at home, so class gets wasted trying to plug in.

SCOTUS just legalized racial profiling, and ICE is already denying a person's right to due process — abducting, detaining and deporting whoever they want.
This is how white nationalism overthrows a country.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government
