Just knocked out episode 1 while running and was engrossing enough to make me almost forget that I was running that long

Episode 2 of Nusantara, our @thedigradio.bsky.social series on history of Indonesia.

I just realized that I started corresponding with incarcerated survivors of DV and SA exactly 30 years ago. Where the time has flown, I don't know. The fact that we're still incarcerating them is an indictment of our society.

I got some money last year from a funder and it means that I can redistribute those funds to young artists who have been criminalized. I wish we had more funding so we could do more but we will do what we can with what we have.

I know we're eventually going to win the library funding fight cuz my elderly neighbor cornered me yesterday in the laundry room and told me that she is recruiting her crew to lobby the city council, lol. She added that she will also be focusing on the Mayor "who she took a chance on" in her vote.

Did you know that the paperback version of my labor history book for young readers, ‘Fight to Win!’ is coming out in paperback soon, at a very low price point, right in time for summer reading lists? Now you do, and you can preorder it for 25% off here! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fight-to-w...

On June 13, @nycplan.org is hosting a Library Art and Propaganda Fair! Our call for art submissions is now available and open until March 31st. Anyone can submit. Please share with your networks. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Additionally, we are urging every single American with a federal student loan to open a case file with their member of Congress’ constituent services office to request all data in regards to your individual student loan balance and payment history. Now.

Today, we're calling on the Trump administration to implement a one-year pause on federal student loan debt payment and collection services for all federal student debtors after the Trump admin announced plans to shift the student loan portfolio from Education to Treasury.

@nycplan.org has a call for art submissions that are due on March 31st. It's for our Library Art & Propaganda Fair. Please share the call with artists you know who might be interested: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

(modestly) ramping up production

Heading home from a terrific First Aid for the People workshop where I learned so many practical skills.

Is it really such a shock that a man who’s bragged about sexual assault doesn’t give a shit about the tedious rituals of manufacturing consent from a populace he despises before getting violent? If you’re President Trump, you can just do things. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Looking forward to my upcoming book talk with the CUNY Academy next Wednesday, March 4 @ 2pm. Zoom details here and below; ignore the big photo of my face! www.shorturl.at/gFUbd

My friend Garrett created a mobile library called the Free Society People's Library a couple of years ago. www.freesocietylibrary.org/about "We provide free, accessible, information on radical movements and revolutionary ideas past and present to people of all ages."

It’s packed ❤️🥰 No to war in Iran!

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

On this day in 1965, the Great Malcolm X, el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, was assassinated. May he continue to Rest In Power. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

From @gothamist.com : ““If you're just going to say, ‘Oh, I love the library,’ but you’re not actually supporting them, then that’s a real disappointment and, frankly, bulls---,” said Abby Emerson, a member of the NYC Public Library Action Network, or NYC PLAN. gothamist.com/news/taking-...

RWG: “What we can see over and over again are how the forces of organized violence appear and aggrandize to manage those who are not content with having been abandoned”

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

What's happening in the NY juvenile justice system right now is a SCANDAL? Atrocious. The young people trapped in the system need a robust organizing campaign to address all of the issues.

In honor of Black History Month, I am busting out one of my favorite series of comics from my youth. www.si.edu/object/nmaah... - Anyone else remember the Golden Legacy Illustrated History Magazine?

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Trump's fundraiser's firm became the top lobbying shop in D.C. and set a new revenue record, raking in millions from foreign clients. We took a close look at who they are (including some previously unreported details) and their wins from Trump's administration.

My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.
