Sneakily permitting fascism cannot be tolerated.

Street vendors & other NYC immigrant workers brace for renewed deportation threats under Trump, @evelazquez.bsky.social reports. Advocates focus on fortifying labor protections for immigrant workers at the state & local level: “These are frontline workers who are feeding & serving every New Yorker.”

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

Let all of this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.

Figure out what organizing means to you and do it. If you’re not sure how to think about that question, here’s a book to start with, not because it has all the answers but because it will help you think about your answers: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

This is a really, really great project. Physical spaces are hard to come by in New York and some wonderful organizers have put a lot of work into fostering one in the middle of Brooklyn. They could use your support!

Inhumane, harmful, and solves absolutely nothing. This is an attempt to disappear problems without addressing any underlying issue.

In our thousands in our millions. People are rising up!!

Solidarity ❤️

For our community that wants ways to take action outside protest and voting!

"The first military flights to deport migrants [to] Guantanamo Bay were slated to take off Tuesday" as Trump is pushing to use the Alien Enemies Act, used to carry out Japanese Internment during WWII. If we allow the State to expand its repressive apparatus, it will be used against all of us.

This moment demands organization, mobilization, and resistance that may seem unprecedented. But our ancestors and people around the world have already shown us the way.

We know social media alone will never liberate us, but we remain grateful for the frequent reminders that thousands and millions of people want liberation, want a better world, and are eager to find ways to make that vision a reality.

Mosab Abu Toha: “I demand that the American Library Association (ALA) issue a statement condemning the destruction of the Edward Said Public Library in Gaza and boycott Israeli libraries and cultural institution.” https://lithub.com/read-mosab-abu-tohas-statement-on-the-destruction-of-the-edward-sa…

Trump's attack on climate progress is premised on several things, but one is the false idea that we don't have enough energy production. The U.S. has more than enough to meet its needs, and what we need to do is both reduce consumption and pivot away from fossil fuels, urgently.

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life. I put together a reading list (and words of advice) for LitHub: lithub.com/we-only-have...

We will not go numb under the barrage of Trump attacks. He wants us scrambling, confused, distracted. Instead we can and will laser focus on collective liberation, on what it takes to get from here to there, on the cultures and institutions we need to create to build a world where everyone is free.

We've finally made the journey to Bluesky! Couldn't be more thrilled to be here, and we're thankful for a less oligarchical platform right now.
