I just stumbled across this and thought some of you might like to see it. A letter from E.B. White to a man who'd written he'd lost all hope:

Anyway, the place where I am coming from whenever I write anything, anywhere is: we can live better than this, but that requires the will to change. The universe is too fucking fabulous for us to only know it through capitalism and white supremacy. That's what my posts and books are always about.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Good news for everyone who thinks caregivers for the elderly have it way too easy.

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

President Epstein just told Americans they can't have guns.

We've raised a lot of money for my school community neighbors. And I predict all of it will be depleted by the end of this week. If you're in a position to donate, please help: paypal.me/lyndalepto (donations are tax deductible) 3/3

Do what is right because it is right. Then make what is right, legal. Don't make what is legal, right.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

I need a whole lot of you to sit with why it is imperative that folks be working from what YOU perceive to be the same INTERNAL process, experiences , to achieve a goal or share space and equity As opposed to going “Who is here , what do we want, what are our limits and what do we need”

If you’re keeping score on what works when dealing with Trump, it’s like full resistance 100, appeasement 0.

People are being sent to prison for fighting but of course ‘things you can do to get sent to prison’ is just going to escalate regularly until pretty soon it’s ‘Stephen Miller (or whoever)decided you should go to prison’ so now is the time to try to slow that process down as it is clearly occurring.

there's something perverse about a world where money and capital can so effortlessly cross borders but people's entire lives are constrained by the accident of where they were born

The average American cannot imagine life getting worse and that lack of imagination has really bit us in the ass.

Stop listening to people trying to convince you not to want anything. If they will say no to your “compromises ” then what’s the point Ask for the thing you actually want

This is exactly right. The white kids and adults I know who know the true history of the United States and Colonialism don't feel bad or guilty; they feel angry, in community with their peers of other races, and empowered to push for change. Enlightened white people are dangerous to the hegemony.

I think many people, including American "leadership", don't realise just how vulnerable the US is. That the world has put up with its bullshit till now doesn't mean it'll keep happening.

I saw Goody Noem dancing with the devil.

as a lifelong Californian we are fucking screaming, crying, begging, throwing up, if you allow Gavin Newsom to be the democratic candidate please understand that he is literally Ronald Reagan 2.0

Xan has been a very good friend to me and rescued his gorgeous cat Sassy from the mean streets, like Adonis. They need a little help, and if you're in a position to donate or even just boost their message I would be incredibly appreciative! ♥️

What if non consensual sexual imagery and leaking of sexual images without consent was illegal and we framed laws on consent not on the apparatus used to violate consent

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

I’m sorry, but a world organized around care is not naïve. A world organized around domination is what’s killing us.

I suspect that many people fail to take action because they are waiting for the chance to do something that has direct results. They need to get over it. It is the nature of collective action that you are very unlikely to know if what ever you did mattered. But history shows, it DOES MATTER

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe is seeking answers after four enrolled members were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.” www.newsweek.com/ice-detains-...

A family member let me know about this church that is packing food boxes for families in the Twin Cities that can’t go to work because of the ICE invasion. Please join me in donating: www.dhhmn.com

Just a reminder: propaganda works by pervasive repetition, not logical consistency

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

I'm ready for these elected Democrats to feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable. What are they gonna do to us, a primly disapproving memo that our rage at their moral cowardice hurts their feelings? Lose harder?

Arrest the murderer, YESTERDAY

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

"Yankees out of Venezuela And Latin America" Seen in Buenos Aires

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

There is a group of people that are supposed to be composed in high stress situations, train for them in fact, get paid well for it, and are given very, very broad leeway on how they act, and yet they shit their pants constantly and cry about how scared they are all the time.

I feel like AI should not be given the active voice in news articles. It’s like saying: “In 1993, rakes began to give Jim a lot of help organizing leaves on the lawn.” Center the agency of humans, with anything inanimate (including AI software) as the direct objects.

RFK Jr: As you know, aspirin causes dyslexia and sunburns Dr RFK Jr: Yes of course RFK Jr: So I'd like to have kids eat raccoon-meat lunches to combat that Dr RFK Jr: You are so smart

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
