Remember: what they do to Indigenous people they will eventually do to everyone. This is infuriating.

A friendly reminder that wherever you can, given the reality of your situation, fuck all these massive corporations and the billionaire class they support. Give your holiday money to local and small biz, make gifts, whatever. Donate it to good causes. You do have material power. Use it.

People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

What do you need to muddle through? How can we foster an environment where those needs get met in collectivity?

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

I'm a trans person w/ a trans kid & we lose trans siblings every year to hateful violence. On Trans Day of Remembrance we're called not only to collectively mourn those we've lost, but to renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who are still here. #tdor 🏳️‍⚧️ Art by @thefoxfisher.bsky.social

A new show at the Met Cloisters speaks to the existence of queer and trans people in the Medieval period and within the Catholic Church, as well as sexual dalliance and humor, and nontraditional unions.

“The people in this book are brave,” said Toad. “They fight dragons and giants, and they are never afraid.” “I wonder if we are brave,” said Frog.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

Our fall class, which is exploring The Misfit, has drawn a wonderfully heterogenous group representing a range of knowledge institutions, city agencies, and artistic practices! Please help us spread the word about our spring class — and please consider applying!

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy well, the trees know better than me, so...

THREAD. A collection of photographs of the best scarecrows I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

SOMEONE: Fuck you! BOVINO: That’s not very nice. THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

thank you for all that you gave us and for helping light the way to better futures, Alice ⚡️✨️

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

A wind came. It blew across the land.

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

Get in where you can or start something new. This is such a good time to do both.

OK, I have a day long convening today so gotta bounce. If you live in NYC, don't stop organizing. This is a beginning and each of us needs to work with others to bring about a better city that actually works for all of us. I'm looking forward to continuing to focus on our libraries & more.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Here is a great way to teach your kids more about Native Americans this month. Molly of Denali–the only kids TV show to feature an Alaska Native character–is on the road for Native American Heritage Month. Molly, the show’s main character, visits 5 reservations.

anyway Destroy Empire. Autonomy Now.

I really hope we pull through

MAYOR MAMDANI ⚡️⚡️⚡️

it's a good day to vote for all the people who will make Dick Cheney roll over in his grave

I am old enough to remember when Dick Cheney set the bar for evil

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

Dick Cheney Was Doing War Crimes in Exactly the Right Way, by Ezra Klein.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Imagine politicians doing this even more than Trump already does

when the 2002 film Minority Report illustrated targeted personalized ads customized to the individual, that was a cautionary tale, not a goal

it's so vital to have people in your life who you feel your feelings with... but it's also life saving to have the right people (for you) to think with! to help each other unfurl all the things, and to imagine with. a feeling-thinking crew = life.

yes!! is it imagination or paying attention? (often both for storytellers) when looking at history, patterns & what's happening in the present (often elsewhere & usually caused by the storytellers countries imperialist/colonial actions) it will get you there! www.womansworld.com/entertainmen...

It's getting harder and harder for people to support anything Isnotreal claims. We've realized we've been lied to. For some it was many years ago, for others it is more recent. But for all of us it is the absurdity of their claims against the Palestinians we've learned to listen to.

UPDATE: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to continue paying for food stamps during the government shutdown.

if you believe that a better world is possible, you may be tarred as a doomer, because achieving a better world involves calling attention to what is wrong with this one. your very optimism is called pessimism, particularly by people for whom the current world is more than comfortable.

Guarantee you everybody who accuses poor folks of misbehavior breaks the laws themselves and would feel persecuted by even having it pointed out. The real problem is they avoid seeing people in need so they can pretend they aren't people at all. They drown their own consciences.

Or—please hear me out, as I know this may come as a shock to everyone—J.D. Vance knows the truth and is a calculating, habitual liar who will say absolutely, positively anything he thinks is politically expedient?

this, ultimately

hear fucking hear

I read this article the other day, and all I could think was jfc they're building a goddamn sanitarium

I heard this once as "In a just world, only a few people are guilty, but everyone is *responsible*" and that has really stuck with me.

I’ve said this before but white guilt is useless. I don’t want people to feel guilty for things they had no part in, and guilt easily curdles into resentment. But everyone regardless should feel an obligation to correct injustice, especially if you somehow benefit. bsky.app/profile/mich...

All that most maddens and torments

like so many days since the blitz, today was terrifying. but the terror is outpaced by the burning hot solidarity of parents blocking school streets, hundreds of neighbors walking patrol, bicyclists chasing SUVs broadcasting whereabouts, and whistling winemoms bringing the fire of one thousand suns.

Hey y'all, this interview is a really important look at what trans protesters are facing, especially when the cops haul them off to jail on allegations like...writing "trans rights are human rights" in chalk.

I love how utterly unintimidated she is. And then she pops out with, "Where are you going?" 🤣 And the whistles! Yaaay, make these dickheads lives a misery.
