Please help Celeste, she does so much for the community.

Happy Pride from Provincetown.

Welp. If I were able to attend the game, I would wear a red and yellow suit and similar glasses so I could stand up silently in his stead. May a hundred fans duplicate the work of this man.

The pose he struck in this image was in protest of violence in the Congo & his overall tribute is a protest against imperialism. His very presence opens minds & raises important questions so I’m disappointed but not surprised that he is not welcome in the current imperial core. No doubt targeted.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Sometimes, in spite of everything, extraordinarily wonderful things still happen: Louisiana man becomes first in region functionally cured of sickle cell disease www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I enjoy sharing old paintings, same ones, bc I haven't painted in some time. Need to get more canvas actually. I have plenty of paint. 🎨

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

Re: LRS, as a Korean American, I felt/feel great pride re: what the ppl of South Korea did that day and well into the night.... I still remember that night and the details that were coming in in real time.... far away, so close. 🇰🇷❤️💪

As the former President of South Korea serves a life sentence for his role in a failed insurrection, his wife just got sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery. The US could learn a lot from South Korea what accountability looks like for power-hungry, corrupt grifters. youtu.be/nAUksLhLSKs?...

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Please, stop using the media and tech industry phrase, 'AI boom' (as in 'AI boom increases memory prices'). There is no 'boom' there is an economic and ideological total war being waged against us by a dying system that is producing material consequences. An imposition, not a boom.

Phenomenal on the Friday. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.

I read this again and cried this morning. So of course, I now share it with you.

And here's @gregpak.net's testimony to the @council.nyc.gov AGAINST "A.i." in the public schools! Huge h/t to @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social for leading this fight! youtu.be/7-h3rPb-4G4?...

Two @comixaction.com members spoke at the @council.nyc.gov meeting yesterday in favor of an "A.i." moratorium in the public schools. Here's links to their testimony! First, the great @edidin.bsky.social! youtu.be/7-h3rPb-4G4?...

Just a heads up that the Supreme Court may rule on Trump's effort to overthrow birthright citizenship as early as June 29. Be prepared to join with the groups that will stand up against this hateful, racist endeavor and protect the vulnerable and the constitutional rights of all of us.

A favorite person that I’ve never known. A most potent inspiration to be endlessly curious about the world and the people who live in it. The ultimate grumpy Cancer king. You are forever missed, Tony.

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello friends/ I send you greetings from Gaza, Mawasi camp/ The only surviving pepper plant out of 10 pepper plants/ Please share and donate/ The situation here is getting worse." bit.ly/help-mohamed

Sigh... such a hard convo I just had, but it needed to be said. Waiting for a follow-up response. Trying to hold onto my values. What a world... (Intentionally vague...)

Men didn't blow mixtures of mineral pigments, including iron compounds like iron oxide, hematite and goethite, as well as pigments containing manganese, clay and water, into tubes on the walls of Lascaux caves between 17,000 and 22,000 years ago so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Many thanks to amazing writer Kay Gabriel & @guardianbooks.bsky.social @theguardian.com for including *Counternarratives* on this list, to which I would eagerly add 100+ more books (can one list every be extensive enough?): www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

This Saturday, in Brooklyn!

HEY CHICAGO! The city wants to sell your parking meter company to the same private-equity firm that owns Omni Air International, the worst of the worst of ICE's charter airlines. The city council's finance committee is meeting about it TOMORROW. 1/

The post below needs to go viral. Someone's providing the vetted concrete way you can support the family of Kohen Wiley who was killed by cops in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi. If you care about that as news, you should care about helping the actual people impacted with what they need.

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello my brothers and sisters/ I send you greetings from Gaza/ Look at the okra flower before it blooms, it's wonderful/ Please share and donate, I'm not well/ My friends, quote and share on your page, help save 13 people I support." bit.ly/help-mohamed

celebrate Anti-Prime Day by buting a book by someone you follow on Bluesky!

BREAKING — Judge in Coe vs. Blanche provisionally certifies plaintiffs as a class and grants temporary restraining order against DOJ accessing private medical records of trans youth treated at NYU Langone

Good news. I hope hospitals can see results like this and feel a little more brave to protect our trans kids and siblings.

Mona Khalil spent her life protecting baby turtles near the Mediterranean. Israel killed her in an airstrike. I keep thinking about her and how I wish I'd met her or even known about her before she was murdered. she said she would continue protecting the turtles "As long as God gives me life."

can we say yes AND: people are fucking tired. they are tired of voting for people who tell them to settle for a party with no discernable values or commitment to improving people's lives. they are tired of being told we have to chum up to the other side, that we can't say no to fucking GENOCIDE..

those are the three wolves inside of me

I re-read others’ pieces in THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT from time to time. But, today, I’m reminded of this line from my contribution.

Mohamed writes: Hello friends, greetings from Gaza. Look at the first eggplant flower that appeared today. It will become a small eggplant in a few days. Please share and donate.

Even while out in the big city I notice nature. ✨

I'm so sorry this is happening there. Late last year, at the height of what was happening in and near Chicago, the military helicopters were flying so low in my city that the windows were shaking.

No matter how often I hear them, I am still unsettled by hearing military planes fly overhead. Why are they puncturing the peace of a Saturday afternoon? For what operation are they preparing?

I don't know much abt Abigail Lucien, but their exhibit just opened a couple days ago at the art institute... interested in finding out more. "In Blood of the Earth, Haitian American artist Abigail Lucien explores the ways that iron connects us to histories, the material world, and each other."
