Good on them.

We need more bike libraries that include all types of bikes for all ages and abilities.

I'm not on here much but grateful and excited to share this co-edited volume that represents ongoing collaborations with Dr. Hailey Love, includes a forward from the brilliant @trantempleton.bsky.social, and features so many brilliant contributors...

I learned a few days ago that a group of 2nd graders in my city spent several weeks creating an abolitionist city as part of their visual arts class. I was so happy to hear this and I have invited the class to exhibit their work. They will be joining in the Abolitionist Toyery on August 10.

Thank you!

This energy right here.

In the 70s & 80s, feminists connected violence against women to a critique of state violence. Emily Thuma @haymarketbooks.org traces how this anti-carceral feminism got hijacked by tough-on-crime lawmakers—then revived in the modern prison abolition movement.

“Not only is silence in the face of mounting authoritarianism morally objectionable…IT’S NOT WORKING... We must learn from the past. We cannot remain silent in the face of authoritarian attacks on our peers, even if they have not yet come for us.” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

We will all be subject to the conditions of collective resistance or collective surrender that we establish now as conditions deteriorate.

To my colleagues at Columbia: if you were wondering where the rubber hits the road, this is where the rubber hits the road. I beseech you not to act like this is business as usual or it will indeed become business as usual.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

Sharing this statement from the Education Solidarity Collective on Coast Salish Lands which reaffirms our commitments to one another, the land, and working towards more just futures.

A lot of folks are waiting for someone/thing to save them or tell them what to do. People don't realize you can start a protest, make your own fliers, practice mutual aid, write a newsletter. You don't need permission. You can be creative. You don't have to do things how they've always been done.

On todays disability day of mourning I mourn all of the disabled people who we’ve lost over the last five years. And the ones we’re going to continue to lose as fascism creeps into every day life more and more. Holding space for that right now.

Gift link: archive.ph/gQgno#select... New op-ed out today! "We believe this rush to comply is a sign that universities are willing to become an institutional wing of the new segregationists." This op-ed was written with fierce love for our communities. That's who we serve. We will not be erased.

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

After Trump’s executive order laying off federal employees last week, Haskell Indian Nations University lost almost a third of its staff, leaving students without teachers.

Thousands of people attended a Presidents Day protest in New York on Monday to oppose the Trump administration's policies, including major cuts to federal programs and staff. Demonstrations also took place in Washington, D.C., and other cities.

If you have extra funds and want to support an org doing essential work to fight the actions against public education and ed research of this administration, @edlawcenter.bsky.social is doing hard, critical work and could use anything you can contribute.

Please don't say that no one is doing anything. We're waiting for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov to catch up with their constituents.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can literally do what @aoc.bsky.social is doing right now by ordering as many red cards as you possibly can and distributing them as widely as possible. ❤️

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Getting word that a few hospitals are offering trans care again after the EO was blocked by a federal judge. Please send the decision to your hospital, and PLEASE send me a message if your hospital has resumed care, as I’m doing a story on this.

To navigate these terrible times, we need Audre’s Lorde’s audacity: Protect the public sphere. Refuse to be silenced.

"As much as I loathe this government, I believe it matters how a system breaks. These are not the guys you want breaking it."

Not only is blaming Palestinians for Trump's election racist, it's misguided US-backed war on Palestine is precisely what enables expanding authoritarianism at home. "there is no clear dividing line btwn colonial power’s imperial geography and its metropole." www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

At this point, Republicans are fighting so hard to spread disease, you'd think germs were campaign donors. I look into how the eugenicist impulse, which was once on the fringe of the GOP, is fueling this "unleash the plague" era for Republicans. www.salon.com/2025/02/05/u...

"Stop the Coup!" Scene at Treasury.

STUDENT WALK OUT- OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES CITY HALL: High school students from all over LA have walked out of class and gathered in front of city hall to protest the president’s fascist agenda. SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH! FUCK ICE!

Let's be real. "It's a distraction" is what cis people tell themselves to justify not caring what happens to trans people or other vulnerable groups. It's an excuse to be complicit, falsely framing complicity as necessary for resistance.

are you terrified about what’s happening to public education? feeling generally hopeless and overwhelmed? read this brilliant, inspiring op ed by my friend Eve Ewing (and then buy her new book!): inthesetimes.com/article/trum...
