is where I went to figure out if I was a writer and/or a Quaker. (It's also where I met my husband.) Looking forward to giving the Monday night lecture on November 3.

Happy pub day to COMMON GROUND by
@eileenflanagan.bsky.social
! Flanagan weaves together stories of hard won successes in the climate change movement, including against a multinational bank in one case, and a heavily polluting fossil fuel company in another, based on grassroots organizing.

Repeating "deport" in understandable exhortations "do not deport X" "stop deportations" "end mass deportations" traps us in the opposition's frame and actually reinforces the logic of...deportations. We must say what we're for: "here to stay" "[PLACE] is our home" etc presuppose immigrants belong.
