Hey what can we do instead of numbing ourselves to the despair being pushed down from the highest levels of this country? We can build from below, which is what organizers are showing us in the public power movement. Check this out if you need a dose of optimism (backed with real life examples!)

Love the Players Alliance! @convergencemag.com on Organizing Gamers from the Bottom Up to fight corporate power!

Great @markengler.bsky.social article about one of my movement heroes: Highlander Center founder, Myles Horton.🤩 "It’s only in a movement that an idea is often made simple enough and direct enough that it can spread rapidly..." Check it out in @convergencemag.com #PeoplePower #ChangeTheStory

Listening to @guante.info on @convergencemag.com's Block & Build podcast. I can't overstate what a treasure Kyle is. A tremendous artist, activist and organizer, and teacher of how artists can contribute to and be part of movement spaces. convergencemag.com/podcast/arti...

I had the conversation I wish more people would have about the Epstein Files last week with @shannonperezdarby.bsky.social and @chanellegallant.bsky.social. convergencemag.com/podcast/prev...

Thanks to @convergencemag.com for re-running the piece I wrote that locals might have already read at Racket. For the re-print, the only change I made was to the title: Because yeah I live in MPLS, but the work is also to get ICE out St. Paul, and the suburbs, and the whole state, and everywhere.

“If you tell us that America is already great, don’t be surprised if we reject the premise. More often than not, politicians of both parties do not have a communications problem in rural America; they have a reality problem.” @convergencemag.com convergencemag.com/articles/fro...

Thank you so much @bdlimm.bsky.social! We're also raising $10k this month for a new fellowship program to nurture more movement writers in 2026. Now's a great time to pitch in.

There's a very good chance that the very best article about NYC-DSA you will read this year is this one, by chapter co-chair Grace Mausser. There are too many good lines to pick just one to highlight here; I recommend reading this one closely all the way through. convergencemag.com/articles/nyc...

I highly recommend @benlorber8.bsky.social's "What Antisemitism Is, What It Isn’t, and Why It Matters" series in @convergencemag.com. Lorber offers a really grounded and accessible framework for understanding antisemitism.

I was interviewed for @convergencemag.com's Block and Build podcast about Read This When Things Fall Apart.

The CWD's Ben Case for @convergencemag.com : Ben’s expertise on protest sets the record straight about widely (and incorrectly) accepted data surrounding the efficacy of mobilizing people in nonviolent protest. Learn more about the "3.5% rule" and its flaws here: convergencemag.com/articles/mag...

PRA’s @benlorber8.bsky.social defines antisemitism and examines how it has been weaponized to disrupt social justice organizing, fuel White Christian nationalism, and support genocidal and authoritarian policies in this two-part series for @convergencemag.com: convergencemag.com/articles/wha...

For @convergencemag.com I wrote a two-part guide for progressives on how to understand antisemitism and its weaponization, and how to fight it with solidarity Part 1 breaks down how antisemitism is used as a tool by the 1% and a fuel for White Christian supremacy -- yesterday and today

ICYMI, I had a great conversation last week with @convergencemag.com on their "Block and Build" podcast about narrative power. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Re: "narrative infrastructure for narrative power," I had a great conversation with @catachresis.bsky.social -- of the fantastic @convergencemag.com -- about creating enabling spaces and permission structures to think of new ways of being. Listen here: convergencemag.com/podcast/cont...

From Tucson to Memphis, communities are cutting through the #AI hype and resisting #BigTech's data center expansion. Hear from @myaishahayes.bsky.social, @keshaunpearson.bsky.social, and Vivek Bharathan in @convergencemag.com on what local fights reveal: convergencemag.com/podcast/orga...

AFSC’s Kerri Kennedy joins @catachresis.bsky.social on the Block and Build podcast (@convergencemag.com) to discuss how Trump-era deportation policies eroded civil liberties, normalized state violence, and what we can do to protect our communities. Listen here:

"[Healing Justice] is not about affirming each other's disengagement with slogans like rest is resistance while people are being dragged out of their homes and put in cages. Healing Justice calls us... to move from individual relief to collective power." convergencemag.com/articles/bla...

This week's #BlockAndBuild with @mediajustice.bsky.social's @myaishahayes.bsky.social, @nodesertdatacenter.com's Vivek Bharathan, and Memphis Community Against Pollution's @keshaunpearson.bsky.social was a complete banger. convergencemag.com/podcast/orga...

What's the big deal with digital IDs? The threat of expanded government power to police people’s movement and medical care; particularly concerning as more people cross state lines to get necessary health care. convergencemag.com. #DigitalIDs #SurveillanceState #ReproJustice #ConvergenceMag

Digital IDs (like a driver’s license on your phone) are being used to verify identity both IRL & online—posing a growing threat to privacy. As more people are forced to cross state lines for abortion or gender-affirming care, each step could become a data point for surveillance👁️

With Cynthia Conti-Cook and Sawyeh Esmaili, I wrote for @convergencemag.com about how expanding digital ID systems threaten to increase government power to police people’s movement and access to medical care, especially as more people cross state lines to seek essential health services.

In our current political climate, we must consider using as many avenues for power-building as possible. While we cannot forget the importance of our (albeit flawed) electoral system, we must also view labor and union activism as the invaluable tool for enforcing progressive change that it is (1/2)

As always: making printable, shareable zines/handouts out of reports and other important information is the kind of people-powered indie media that can reach our family, neighbors, etc. in ways that social media posting often can't. Good example here from @convergencemag.com:

Thanks to the hard work of the office of Senator Elizabeth Warren, we have records of the shady tactics Elon Musk used during his stint in government—and how it could have caused his companies to profit at the expense of everyday Americans 🧵 (1/4) #ElonMusk #130Days #DOGE #Progressive #Tesla

If you're a member of WFP or DSA (or, like me, both) and you haven't yet checked out @convergencemag.com, I think you'd find it to be an extremely useful resource. I contribute once a year (to avoid making monthly payments whenever possible), but starting this year I'll raise my annual amount.

Great episode here with @dreanyc123.bsky.social and @catachresis.bsky.social about block & build but make it abolitionist. convergencemag.com/podcast/bloc...

Convergence is run on a very lean budget, which puts our financial security in a precarious position. Cultivating outlets for progressives to develop organizing strategy is essential, especially in the wake of the current political climate. If you agree—and have the means to do so—we encourage (1/5)

Achieving progressive change is contingent upon working-class solidarity. Wynn Howell reminds us in their article that we must stand together amidst attempts to divide us based on our identities Read the full piece | Link below #NonBinary #Pride #LGBTQIA #convergencemag #WorkingClassSolidarity

Many of the greatest progressive victories have been achieved via coalition-building; Maraam A. Dwidar explores the histories of these coalitions, as well as what made them so successful and how we can replicate their victories today #Coalition #convergencemag #ProChoice #Election2028 #Midterms

“With Trump and the authoritarian Right stepping up the attacks on our communities, particularly our most vulnerable neighbors, there couldn’t be a better time for you and neighbors to start organizing to change the world.” @convergencemag.com convergencemag.com/articles/uni...
