And here's a resource that explains why it's critical to focus on FOPs in order to divest from policing: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

The NYPD kidnapped the mayor’s daughter to get him to decry the BLM protests. Mayor after mayor of the country’s most powerful city has kowtowed to their power. Local governments across the country fear their unions and increase their budgets giving them more power. They will not save us from ICE

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

July 1972.

My final read of 2025 was THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social. I’m so moved, outraged, despairing, and motivated on behalf of these families and the countless others they represent to demand better in our communities #booksky

Through another year of defiant, collective resistance, Haymarket has continued to amplify radical voices and ideas that make a contribution to analyzing systems of oppression, mapping strategies for liberation, and imagining a fundamentally different world.

Reading POVERTY, BY AMERICA by Matthew Desmond & highlighting plenty, but this line stopped me in my tracks: “Americans rank Amazon as one of the most trusted institutions in the country, second only to the military” (59). Ahhhhhhhhhhhh endless scream

WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS by @catherinenewman.bsky.social is so good. Life-affirming and silly (complimentary) and poignant and hilarious. A perfect combo of totally realistic moments + a pleasingly determined narrative arc. Overuses italics better than anyone in the game.

Adding at least half of these recs to my “want to read“ list 🤓

Earlier this year, @msjpauly.bsky.social and I spent tens of hours speaking to trans kids and their families about their lives under Trump 2.0. Now is not a bad time to re-read it. Coverage of the latest news coming from colleagues at Mother Jones later today.

💙📚 Finished THE STARVING SAINTS by @caitlinstarling.com today. What a thrill of medieval/speculative/horror fiction, and the tension between the 3 narrators was 🤌🔥 In my head, it was in convo with a fave, Jemisin’s THE FIFTH SEASON (harnessing elements, reform v. abolition, throuples).

Mohammad Ibrahim, the U.S citizen who was abducted when he was 15-years-old by the IOF and who was finally released after almost 10 months of imprisonment speaks alongside his father to PBS News.

We need your immediate help!

Join me in contacting your congressperson in support of the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would undo the Trump admin’s EO union-busting federal workers and is supported by R & D members of the House. act.aflcio.org/letters/send...

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Astonishing the mess a toddler can make with two (2) raspberries

@npr.org not messing around with this morning’s episode of Up First. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

FACTORY GIRLS by Michelle Gallen was such an immersive read, full of feeling (rage, grief, fear, despair, and optimism laced with trepidation) and humor. Maeve is a protagonist who will stay with me. The Troubles-era brew of colonial & class violence worth remembering #booksky

I'd like to add that REBUILD is currently connecting people of color who have been detained by ICE/DHS to FREE counseling/therapy. Please pass along the word: www.darknessrisingproject.org/help-me-find...

I think about the last line from this book almost every single day.

The 1st public update on bargaining progress between #GEO (union of graduate student workers) and university admin at @umich.edu ✊ www.geo3550.org/wp-content/u...

Pressure congressional representatives and the State Department to demand the immediate release of US citizen teenager Mohammed Ibrahim from Israeli prison, where he has been starved and tortured since February. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

On U.S. complicity in the unfolding massacres: "The U.S. should halt arms transfers to the UAE, which is supplying the RSF with the weapons used to carry out atrocities in Darfur. Failure to take action could condemn hundreds of thousands more civilians to death at the hands of genocidal forces."

“Warfighting” as murder for profit seems to be what’s happening now re: Venezuela/alleged narcotrafficking boats in the Caribbean.

Veteran’s Day is a good time to recall the Winter Soldier Investigation, a performative war crimes tribunal put on by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 197—against themselves, while the war was still ongoing.

Billionaires made $698 billion last year while families like yours were forced to choose between food and healthcare. Why? The system is rigged in their favor – now it's time to build one that works for all of us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I did a voice on this week's episode of Circle Round, recorded live at Symphony Hall in Boston! It's called "Whatever You Like" and it's fun to listen to with your kids if you have kids!

More #baking, this time from a box & for my 7yo.

Late night birthday cupcakes for a very special 4 year old 🥳 #baking

Read SLOW DANCE by @rainbowrowell.bsky.social last week, and it was such a joy to fall in love with the characters early on. Each time I came back (after many, many, many interruptions from my tiny children), I was looking forward to being a fly on the wall for their interactions. #booksky

You Can Kill a Democracy Without a Dictator www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o... With a gift link because I think it is very important for people to understand this:

Pursuing misdemeanor charges against SEIU ISWW & @seiuca.org president David Huerta is a gross abuse of power by this administration. The 15 million members of the AFL-CIO stand shoulder to shoulder with David as he fights for justice. aflcio.org/press/releas...

The criminal punishment system in the US systematically causes trauma that ripples outward through families and communities of inmates. It doesn’t have to be this way. Thinking of the adult children in this story, their dads, and others in their shoes.

“An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny.” www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

You can't just drive your monster truck to your white flight suburb & escape the effects of the systems you plundered & destroyed. That's not how social systems work.

Currently reading IDAHO by Emily Ruskovich. #booksky

Just finished SISTERS OF THE LOST NATION by Nick Medina, a gripping debut novel that’s perfect for spooky season. #booksky

In an echo of the CECOT deal, DHS rendered 15+ people to Eswatini, where they‘ve been imprisoned indefinitely by a king who’s openly had political enemies killed. Public outcry eventually worked re: CECOT. We need to demand these prisoners’ release, now, too. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Read ALL FOURS by Miranda July last week after ambivalently putting it off, and “I was a throbbing, amorphous ball of light trying to get my head around a motherly, wifely human form” (215) !!!

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

What a treat! A funny, kindhearted hour of standup by @joshgondelman.bsky.social youtu.be/RAvNlgpdKKo?...
