"Unifies us across the occupied pond" Anishinaabe author Leanne Betasamosake Simpson (@biidaasamose.bsky.social) gets a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from us for NOOPIMING: THE CURE FOR WHITE LADIES, out today via @andotherstories.bsky.social

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

Really wonderful episode as always. I loved this book and always love hearing @biidaasamose.bsky.social reflect on it. I also really hope all the organizers I know in Chicago hear it, as well as everybody who is learning from Chicago organizers.

Maynard details the numerous failures of police reform, and her vision for abolition is bold, and expansive, reaching beyond Canada to examine both transnational apparatuses of surveillance, policing, and punishment, and vital global forms of resistance and solidarity.

“It’s all hands on deck and we have to fight. This is the only way.” @biidaasamose.bsky.social talks to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

I talked to @biidaasamose.bsky.social about what it takes to stay human and protect each other in fascistic times, and how we can build networks of care, defend our neighbors, grieve, and make space for joy. This episode includes some Nishnaabe wisdom and music from Leanne. Transcript + audio:

"And I remember … trying to record with a cassette tape off the car radio… Joy Division, New Order, the Cure. Sometimes the music that you're listening to in high school and in your early years as an adult kind of defines you and takes you through adult life." 🎶 - Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

@biidaasamose.bsky.social “Live Like The Sky” (@youvechanged.bsky.social) www.leannesimpson.bandcamp.com Warm chords slashed over fractured tabulated waves, Simpson swims in driving hybrids combining glancing tangents and slippery symmetry inside liquid, jet-propelled fusion.

So happy to have shared water stories with @biidaasamose.bsky.social and Candice Hopkins. Water becomings and Indigenous futures!

People still think they don’t need to read black thinkers to do their work. They’re wrong and their work is worse for it.

Matched. Who else can donate a mattress today for babies in Gaza?

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

The Sameer Project’s donations are down 45% today but their work is unfortunately far from over. Give to the South campaign, which supplies 200,000 liters of water a day: chuffed.org/project/1132...
