Attended a wonderful poetry reading by Salaam Green. The book is "The Other Revival". In this series, she did Listening Poetry about the family of slavers and the family of enslaved people in a large plantation in Harpersville, AL. Enlightening, moving, and honest. Also, she's a Montevallo grad!

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

On Tyranny is a must read for every American who wants to resist. Listen to the high points here. The whole thing is a short, easy read that gives you a lot to think about and some everyday ways to resist. Spread the message.

Most cops cars say "Protect and Serve" or some bullshit like that. It's never the case. They protect and serve capital. They do not give a shit about us.

It frustrates me to no end hearing that free speech is finally being curtailed because of Kimmel. Where have you been? Have you been able to watch a legacy news program in years that wasn't compromised? Or the laughable cable "news"? Did it really take a white dude for you to notice?

Trans rights are human rights. This is non-negotiable.

This is worth sharing.

The truth will come out. Whatever’s in the Epstein files must be pretty awful, but it’s well past time to face our own shadow.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Times are tough out there, friends! What are you doing to take care of yourself and those in your circles? They want to steal our happiness and leave us hopeless. Joy and community give us strength and courage to keep working for freedom and justice.

A month ago, Katie Britt was promising us answers about the Epstein files. What happened to change her position? Release the files. Hold everyone involved in his network accountable.

Libraries are the cornerstone of a healthy community. Leave them the fuck alone. Trans folk just want to live their lives in peace. Leave them the fuck alone.

NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu. Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices. A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

The next national NO KINGS event is OCTOBER 18. Mark your calendar and tell all your friends. Start planning your outfits and signs and bring a drum to beat and make noise. Plan to be LOUD. Reach out to a local 50501 or partner organizations to get involved or to plan your own event. We need you!

The fact that some of the worst people you know actually (finally) calling out Trump does not make them friends, does not make it cool to give them your time. They are still some of the worst people you know. They'll side with him 99 times out of 100. This one exception is nothing.

Oh, look it's just regular folk at a job fair! Yeah it's really quick and easy to do. Oh yeah, there's a few oddballs complaining but they are doing bad things like looking up license plates (big frown). Think of the pay! The benefits! I even brought my kid to sign up! Do not normalize this shit.

✊ Birmingham Alabama stands united! Join us for a peaceful march through Avondale as we say NO to DC’s occupation and YES to community power. Saturday, Sept. 6 | 11AM–12:30PM | Avondale Park. #WeAreAllDC #PeacefulMarch

Walk me through this. In the US, white men have always been the prevailiing engine for political, social, & fiscal power. It's been white men since 1776. It's still the case today. How can they possibly believe any other group is destroying our country? Isn't any other group's pressure an outlier?

"Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not."

BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.

heavens no, surely this cannot be

Somewhere in Iceland.

Just wrapped up a very successful Labor Day bridge protest in Birmingham AL! We braved the rain to spread our message! Lots of honks and solidarity. Only one person flipped us off.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

Postscript by Seamus Heaney who died twelve years ago today

Handmaid's Tale is pretty trendy, but imo the much more accurate and far more disturbing book is Oryx & Crake

Bridge Brigade Labor Day message in Birmingham, Alabama! #PeopleOverProfits #LaborDay #WorkersNotBillionaires

This year, #LaborDay is more than a barbecue. Billionaires are stealing from working families, destroying our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities. Join us Monday, Sept 1, at any of 1,000+ collective actions across the US. www.FiftyFifty.one #WorkersOverBillionaires

So, I understand resigning when the place you work refuses to uphold the mission that it is purpose-built to do. We have some of the brightest minds in public health leaving the CDC. We STILL NEED THEM. What is the step that follows? Do we build a shadow CDC, an underground public health collective?

I promise you, we are busting ass down here trying to make a difference on the local, county, and state levels. Many of us are regularly ignored, stonewalled, or actively oppressed by the systems in play. The south is a rich, prismatic tapestry of folk. The picture the media paints is hateful.

#PPOD: JWST has now captured images of all four gas giants in our solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These images are the first of their kind, and they offer a new and unprecedented view of these distant worlds. 🧪 🔭

#books are awesome.

So, maybe I'm confused, but "buying" an extortion %age of Intel isn't Communism (because the proletariat are definitely not The State, in this context), and it's not fascism (because it would have been completely subsumed and controlled by The State), but just corrrupt Capitalism, getting a bribe.

Coming soon to a city near you. In Trump’s America. 🇺🇸 😕

The best news today is that James Dobson died. The only good thing about the man is that his evil obsession with violence towards children and women was the push we needed to get out of the cult. I hope peace comes to any of you who had to suffer his "lessons" from those supposed to love you.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

"National Security" was the same argument our government used 80 years ago to justify the immoral internment of people of Japanese descent at this very military base. It was wrong then, it’s wrong now.

"For the vanilla, butter, and sugar, I added these in the EXACT AMOUNTS, except instead of vanilla, I used almond extract; instead of butter, I used coconut oil; and instead of sugar, I used raw chicken breast."
