I take my community responsibility seriously. I’m the friend who will share important petitions in the group chat. We truly can fight fascism, and build a better world for all of us to thrive in. I believe this. So I try very hard to participate in the work to make it happen.

Trying to get 50 more people to send a letter to your City Council member in NYC demanding that they increase and stabilize public library funding. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

it’s been a glorious day so far

lol, also on a more serious note, not sure how I feel about naming coffee drinks in that way. like what would the dark skin latte be?? 🧐

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Mamdani pulled together a diverse coalition of voters on a political message of economic populism and affordability. But it's not just Albany who may stand in Zohran's way—it's also Wall Street. Some thoughts on Wall Street's grip on municipal finance. www.inthered.org/p/zohran-won...

Great news about *another* mayoral race—yesterday, Erica Deuso was elected mayor of Downingtown. She will be the first openly trans mayor in Pennsylvania! She won after running on housing affordability and student safety. We are proud to have endorsed Erica Deuso. whyy.org/articles/ele...

Nope I absolutely don’t need this CNN post election commentary from CTG and Ben Sh*piro. Please spare me this useless garbage.

A good omen.

I AM IN SHOCK AND IN AWE!!!!! MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI, WE DID IT NEW YORK!!!!!!

We've organized nine former tenants — all of whom were pushed out by the fifth largest corporate landlord in the country, Equity Residential — to withhold their back-rent debt payments. Collectively. That's right, we're on debt-strike. Introducing the EQR-9. truthout.org/articles/ten...

If Democrats want to take economic populism seriously, they would be talking about broad-scale medical debt relief, wide-spread student debt relief, and rent-control + tenant protections. People's largest bill every month is usually rent. If not rent, probably a debt payment.

An incredible victory. Trump’s stop-order was incredibly harmful to everyday people— we deserve to have affordable, CLEAN energy. I don’t want to poison my baby while I heat or cool my home. Please and thanks!

Thinking of something @prisonculture.bsky.social kept repeating at a workshop I attended last year: "Most people are not brave"

False narratives are dominating our media, we all know this. How do we respond with a better story and why we must -- www.philanthropy.com/article/to-p...

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

We have an impressive amount of work to do in fighting for our freedoms folks. Don't give up hope. Don't cede to fascism. Don't allow despair to swallow you up. That's what they want. Feel our feels, yes — and then we gotta get up and work to protect all the people.

☀️ Have you RSVP-d for our Sun Day event yet? Join us this Sunday at The Steel Yard in Providence to celebrate clean energy! We'll have an EV showcase, Q&A with heat pump and solar installers, kid-friendly crafts, and more! ☀️ actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d...

"Effective narrative change happens with communities not to communities" -- so much in this sentence, it expresses who are the participants, who is leading and how to go about building a transformational campaign.

In a narrative strategy webinar, and it is rich with info and reminders that we are much more than how we show up! We are a collection of deeply-rooted and held beliefs that shape who we are. And to support people making critical shifts in belief, narrative frames support that work.

We launched the first student debt strike in U.S. history 10 years ago. Now, we're launching another bold, historic action uniting tenants and evicted debtors for the first time ever. Join us on October 1 to hear about it first: debtcollective.org/event/debt-s...

My productivity is through the roof today and now I’m looking at yesterday like what happened bish 🧐

I'm going to explain quickly how bestseller lists work: First week sales = Pre-orders (by pub day) + Week of sales If first week sales hit a certain number (2k<), there is a higher chance of a book hitting a bestseller list. Hence why you should order #TheDoubleTax THIS WEEK: annagifty.com!

Each of us really can decide to do a little something every day to lessen suffering (including our own).

one of very favorite humans I met through a work contract last year, and now I literally can't imagine life without them... that's how much i adore them. I love when that happens, truly. Good connections, yay. Great connections, incredible!

I really need to get to bed (but i'm in the middle of a emessy Beauty in Black moment). we're on day 4 of weaning and each day is a BATTLE, praise God. Her desire is supposed to go down, not up. Now I'm dressing in layers to make it difficult to feed. IFYKYK, but also sorry for you too lmao.

Go Anna, so happy to hear this! I got the notification from the library that my hold is ready and let out a joyful *squeal* — we love to see Black women winning!

Babe. Here's your reminder that Pres Trump doesn't care about American workers or jobs. He abruptly put a stop-work order for Revolution Wind, an offshore wind project that was nearly 80% complete. *Poof* 1K folks out of work! He doesn't want us to breathe clean air or have affordable energy bills.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Leftists aren't the ones threatening to murder me or my loved ones when they disagree with me.

hate when folks take “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” to mean “fuck it, we ball” instead of as a prompt to reduce their freaking consumption

Israel is still committing genocide but publications are running articles on if a collection of data servers that pump out more CO2 than whole small towns feel pain when they aren’t even (yet, thankfully) true artificial intelligence bc if it was it would’ve blown up the lab Mewtwo style by now

Dear @washingtonpost.com: these two paragraphs are absolute malpractice. Utterly disgraceful. You use total counts, not rates … for the THIRD BIGGEST CITY IN THE US. Of COURSE it has a high total. And rates “have come down” … with a link, but no number. Down FIFTY PERCENT IN FOUR YEARS.

Statement on Revolution Wind stop work order from CARI’s Yes to Wind team: #yestowind #revolutionwind

meeting with a friend today to discuss her newsletter transition. was pleasantly surprised when I met with someone else a few days ago, that she’s already connected to her. The black f&b world is being led by brilliant creative women!

if you were personally harmed by Dobson's teachings, i am raising my coffee to you in solidarity. i hope you do something indulgent and embodied today to celebrate.

lmao. facts.

James Dobson kicked it. So there is some good news. adfmedia.org/press-releas...

Great job Governor Healey, and I hope other states will continue to advance similar legislation.
