You know what's cooler than one party? A million parties thewhitepages.net/p/a-single-p...

As somebody who thinks about community and “being a good neighbor” a whole bunch, my thoughts on Rocket Mortgage is that they can take their big predatory rocket right into the sun!

Just texted my wife, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING, ZOHRAN JUST DID A KID PODIUM NEXT TO HIS PODIUM.

This piece on simple, practical, persistent care and connection is so good. There’s about six people I read every single word of their {stellar real heartening} writing right now and one of them is @garrettbucks.bsky.social. (Plus PNW friends, he’s coming our way this month!)

Everybody's telling you to build community! And they're right, but not just bc it's good to be less lonely or bc you need a distraction from fascism. It is, in fact, how we win! thewhitepages.net/p/seven-reas...

What will be will be! I'm just excited to know what era we're in. Are we bad and rebuilding? Bad and not rebuilding? Somehow good, still? I've cheered for every version of the Bucks. The only time it hasn't been fun is when it's not clear who we are.

Introverts, take heart--Garrett has you covered!

READ THIS. Heartbreaking and heart lifting as all deeply human things are. By @garrettbucks.bsky.social thewhitepages.net/p/in-the-eve...

I would like to cosign every bit of this, from the big backpacks to the soup ladle, and with all my heart and all my soul, I would like this post to end up unnecessary, both for @garrettbucks.bsky.social and anyone else, like me, who feels the same way.

Milwaukee rally right now. Neighbors passing around hand warmers. Restaurants passing out burgers and sandwiches. Beautiful.

Just watched a video of my son's school's anti-ICE walk out/rally and oh my God if this isn't a whole new set of parental tears I haven't quite tapped into previously (proud, grateful, inspired).

a really beautiful read about showing up for each other

"That’s the problem with believing in other human beings. We let each other down so much, but not always. And it’s the “not always” that makes it worth it. We can be beautiful to each other, but only when we try." @garrettbucks.bsky.social with the most timely guest essay for BASKETBALL FEELINGS

If you read only one piece today about political organizing that's also about remembering a bunch of guys who played for the Milwaukee Bucks in the early 2010s, I think it should be this one. [by me, for THE @wtevs.bsky.social 's BASKETBALL FEELINGS] www.basketballfeelings.com/p/joy-alchem...

I wrote about the railroad tracks in Minneapolis, about where they go and why thewhitepages.net/p/long-befor...

MN needs an eviction moratorium now. In the meantime, we're fundraising to keep families in their homes. Thanks to folks across the country (over 20 states!) who've contributed $200,000 to this fund, but according to organizers there are still unmet needs. secure.myvanco.com/YHHF/campaig...

finally a good dating app

For the past few weeks, in addition to solidarity fundraising, I've been compiling letters from across the world to MPLS (1000 so far) They've been shared in a variety of ways already, but today we launched this website. It's a tiny thing, but so too is every act of love. loveletterstominnesota.com

"We had one hotel publicly refuse to house ICE, which became a big national news story when DHS went after them. That’s a hotel we were targeting, and it was mostly because of our pressure. We had two more hotels temporarily shut down to avoid housing ICE..." www.laborpolitics.com/p/how-minnea...

I love seeing all the responses @ziibiing.com is receiving. I’ve been helping facilitate a similar project these past week alongside organizers in SW (many of which are being hung up around town tomorrow) and seeing the enormity and beauty of responses is powerful. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

There are so many vigils tonight around the Twin Cities. Just a blossoming of grief and solidarity.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest. Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

This was a tiny project, but it's been really beautiful. Love notes, from across the world, to activists in Minneapolis. Shared just a few of the hundreds we've already compiled here, along with instructions for how you can participate as well. thewhitepages.net/p/i-really-t...

Thanks to @garrettbucks.bsky.social for channeling the love and framing the moment we're in in Minneapolis and beyond. 🙏 substack.com/home/post/p-...

"What you are feeling right now, be it volcanic anger or exhaustion or guilt or confusion or incapacitation isn’t just real, it is sacred. It is your heart reacting, in any number of ways, to its own sudden expansion." thewhitepages.net/p/what-a-rag...

Not spreading hope for hope’s sake, but also: a heart whose pain feels unbearable is a heart alive, and it’s hearts alive that are the reason why we will win. thewhitepages.net/p/what-a-rag...

Also, at the end of this essay I shared a form for you to send a message of love/support to MPLS activists (not as an alternative to supporting their efforts materially-- there's a link to do that too as soon as you submit your message-- just as another nice thing). bit.ly/supportmpls

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Hell yeah read Into The Bright Sunshine. One of the best political histories of a city around

Two truths I'm holding, trying to coach and support activists on the ground in MPLS: 1. Everything they're doing to love their neighbors is beautiful and brave and exactly what we need. 2. It is even more terrifying and exhausting than folks outside can imagine. They/we will win, but it is so hard

i wrote about renee nicole good, minneapolis, whether athletes have an obligation to speak up, and our slow sequestering into totalitarianism

"Our hearts don’t actually shrivel up each time we are asked to metabolize a new act of terror. They beat harder. They grow outward. They propel us, both forward and towards each other." thewhitepages.net/p/heres-what...

"Our care will sound like a protest chant, feel like an embrace, and taste like a potluck" ~ @garrettbucks.bsky.social thewhitepages.net/p/heres-what...

A beautiful piece of writing on Renee Nicole Good from @garrettbucks.bsky.social. Never stop caring, friends. thewhitepages.net/p/heres-what...

Thursday Jan 8. The start of something new. A series of consumer wildcat strikes! No money for healthcare, plenty for war! Don't buy gas Jan 8th. #CutTheFuel No U.S. occupation in Venezuela!

I always love @garrettbucks.bsky.social weekly posts but this one made me cry in the best possible way! thewhitepages.net/p/how-do-you...

I absolutely loved talking to @garrettbucks.bsky.social at the end 2025 about his radical leftwing politics and Quaker pacifism! 💙 amyhoggart.substack.com/p/garrett-bu...

Hundreds out in Milwaukee with just a couple hours notice and ten degree temps.

If war was ever a justifiable course of action, they wouldn’t have to lie every time they start a new one.

“I watched it like… a television show… the speed, the violence— it was an amazing thing.” -The President of the United States, on committing a war crime

It is always the same story. The warmongers will tell you that there was no other choice, that this war will bring peace, that everybody killed was bad and everybody good is safe at home. The answer is and has always been no. No to this war. No to all wars.
