Folks we can beat this—@staceyabrams.com, “Do not abandon the South, they incubate evil here, but farm it out everywhere, but we also incubate the solutions here and we know we can win this fight.”

I am grateful to Propublica for exposing some of the huge wrongs in healthcare. I wish we could get the profit out of it.

Half of all Americans die in hospice care. Easy money and a lack of regulation transformed a crusade to provide death with dignity into an industry rife with fraud and exploitation. (Published 2022 with @newyorker.com)

The ballroom and the “shooting attempt” are akin to the Reichstag fire that Timothy Snyder talked about in On Tyranny. Don’t be fooled. Everyone should read this book. #WHCD #OnTyranny

I needed to buy carrots this week, and my local supermarket had a bag of “ugly” ones. Anyway, please enjoy this selection of sexy leggy carrots.

What you can do right now to end ICE indivisible.org

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Here are two things we can do to support Minneapolis businesses that closed yesterday. Go to bookshop.org, find Minneapolis bookstores and order something. Go to www.bresale.com/shop-1/bxpbr... and buy one or more $5 “pay it forward” gift cards which they will give to local people.

Many Minneapolis bookstores are closed today in protest of ICE in their communities. Don't let them lose business today, #BookSky! Find a Minneapolis bookstore on this list and order online to support them. I'm choosing @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social: bookshop.org/pages/bookst...

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

At Walmart I have seen several people waiting in line to have their receipt checked by the door guy, to prove that they haven’t stolen anything. Fuck that. I have just kept walking and nothing happened. What if we all just kept walking?

One of my all-time favourite indie RPGs. Surprises all the way to the end. It's going cheap on Steam now if you don't want to wait for the console release. I cannot wait for the dev's next one - the MUCH darker Hymn To The Earless God.

Five hundred Asheville residents should go line up at that hotel and try to book a room, one after the other. All day long.

Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

MESHTASTIC: I’ve been getting into this more; and am having a blast. Amazing maker community, and tech that seems needed now more than ever! #meshtastic #makers #off-grid #opensource

"The first action is simple. CEOs should now, this summer, this month, next week, sign a pledge not to use labor from concentration camps. It could be as simple as that: 'On behalf of my firm I promise not to use labor from concentration camps nor to cooperate with any firm that does.'"

I will not read the details of torture. There is only so much inhumanity that I can take. But think about how much Kilmer Abrego Garcia is increasing his own risk by telling us. This means he is more of a patriot than most of us.

Weird coincidence - a local family-owned tent rental business here in SNJ has a family member convicted for Jan 6. The whole klan is MAGA.

#AlligatorAushwitz #AlligatorAlcatraz The tents for this are rented from US Tent Rentals. Many people left bad reviews, but Yelp has blocked any more reviews. The owner is Tim Boyle of Sarasota, and this is his facebook.

You want martial law? Here’s your recession.

What is wrong with Americans that most of us do not boycott?

Be creatively UNGOVERNABLE!!!

To protect women from men in the bathroom, they sent a male security guard in to bang on the stall, intrude and intimidate. And another thing, why didn’t the other women in the area stand up for her? I am ashamed of them for standing by.

What a sad metaphor for the country. #OceanCountyNJ #OceanCountyNJMAGA patch.com/new-jersey/l...

Please contact the International Surfing Association (ISA) and urge them to STOP using El Salvador for surfing events and championships. Big event coming up in September! Kilmar Abrego-Garcia is wrongfully and unlawfully imprisoned in El Salvador and needs to be freed! www.isasurf.org

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Yay! But maybe you will add some shows in NJ?

Upcoming tour dates! Reykjavik was amazing! Onward to New Orleans Jazz Fest, Texas album release dates (Sooner or Later out May 16 on Alligator Records) back on the road hitting IL, KY, PA, NY, NJ, NH, RI, MA, VA, NC, TN!

I got this on Ebay for $63 and it was easy to set up. If you have a car and $63, you too can join the #LEDCarSignArmy

Boycott things made in El Salvador.

This is terrifying. But I am 70 years old and I have less to lose than a younger person.

With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond — including the power of ridicule, writes @daniel-hunter.bsky.social.

I've seen some justifiably excited posts about the incredible turnout #HandsOff generated yesterday. I've also seen a few toxic posts from people gatekeeping, denigrating, or criticizing the marches for people wearing the wrong clothes, being family friendly, non-violent. All I can say is... 1/2
