Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Please buy books that are coming out this year. Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us).

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Different faces for empire but same empire. This is your opportunity to show up differently. Empire will always be just that. You will only show up in the ways they taught you — until you decide to show up differently. Until you decide Empire must end and become a part of building a better world.

I can never say enough what a beautiful person Betty Reid Soskin’s was. I had one day around her and the amount of appreciation I felt for the way she carried public history with her was immeasurable. I hope her family feels the joy of her rest as they grieve her loss. She was magnificent.
