This Black Friday, weaintbuyingit.com.

Happy #Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it! #poetry #gratitude

C'mon people--let's use the power we have. #weaintbuyinit #MomSky #BuyNothingDays #SmallBusinessSaturday

We have both daily horrors and daily embarrassments in the US these days. Here is one of the daily embarrassments. Advice to tourists? Stay away from the US, it's not a friendly place. 😔

A wonderful introduction to the (also wonderful) American Diary Project. If you care about any of these things, please read this, and share! #diaries #journals #archives #history #AmericanHistory #preservation #libraries

There’s a BIG #PROTEST IN DC, this weekend, called #RemovetheRegime!  Be there!  The #NewYorkTimes better cover this one properly or we’re all cancelling our subscriptions!!

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

This Saturday (11/15), join us for a citywide day of community action where New Yorkers are coming together to build our relationships, visibility, and collective strength—borough by borough, block by block—in resistance to the Trump administration.

Don't Buy Anything!!!! (especially from these guys)...

Fluctuat nec mergitur.

Mark Greenside writes about his part-time life in France with deep affection for his #French neighbors and a self-deprecating (& often laugh-out-loud) sense of humor. We discuss his part-time life in Brittany TODAY with the wonderful Federation of Alliances Francaises USA via Zoom! Want to join us?

These are the four Senators most likely to flip back with enough pressure. You know what to do.

This isn't over! Contact your Members of Congress RIGHT NOW and tell them not to vote for anything that doesn't cancel the GOP healthcare cuts!

Let them know how wrong they are, and how angry we are!!!

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Yes. 😍

My hypothesis: Not a single person at this party has actually read Great Gatsby. Of, for 1% that have, it was in high school, and they never thought about it. It is *not* a happy-ending book. Or one flattering to dressed-up Mar-a-Lago type crowds. Or to greedy rich desperate for social approval

Susan Coll is one of the wittiest writers I know. Always a pleasure to read her work & her new book, The Literati, is no exception. 😂 ♥️ 📚 #books #fiction #novels #humor #literature bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

This is outrageous. Fight it! Pick up the phone. Keep the pressure on. It can work. It has to!

Five minutes well worth watching. Despite the "scare" headline there is much in here about what we CAN do to counteract the misinformation, disinformation & general damage the current administration is causing--and what is already being done in California & its neighboring states.

A clear look at the true implications of the theft at the Louvre. "...the stolen jewels are not the real story. The real story is what the theft exposes: the slow vandalism by the French state of its own cultural foundations." #Louvre #heist #jewels newlinesmag.com/argument/eve...

This week's Labor Radio Podcast DAILY goes on the air at 7:15 AM Eastern on WPFW 89.3 FM in #WashingtonDC. Listen at wpfwfm.org/radio/#WashingtonDC #1u #UnionStrong #LaborRadioPod

Heck, if you really need to link this back to kitchen-table-kitchen-table-kitchen-table, it's easy to do: While Trump is driving costs through the roof with his unhinged tariff spree and other reckless, failed policies, he's looting $230 million from the US Treasury and sticking it in his pocket.

Paris as seen through the eyes of intrepid, imaginative travelers from the 18th century to the 21st. The adventure begins November 7—anyone want to join us? #onlineclasses #literature #travel #France #Paris #Brittany #Moscow #Belfast #Kerouac #Sterne #Duncan

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

❌👑🐸Be Safe Everyone please💙💙💙💙

Wonderful to see millions of people turning out and standing up for democracy. Now we need to keep the momentum going. Here's one way. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Me: "What happens is that everybody looks for somebody else to stand up and to defy the authoritarianism. But once you get enough people doing it, it becomes safe to do it. You become excited about doing it. And that's what I think is going to happen this weekend with the #NoKings rallies."

You don’t need a sign or a speech. You just need to show up and look like the future they’re afraid of.

October 18. All stand together. Stand up, speak out. Defend our democracy, and each other.

The Washington Post deserves to go out of business.

Today’s chalking. Just trying to balance my outrage with joy. Cuz MAGA and this regime hates joy.

Anyone want to join me on this #online #literary adventure? politics-prose.com/list/online-... #Sterne #Kerouac #travel #France #Paris

Kudos To JB Pritzker: Calls For Trump To Be 25th Amendment'd

Enough. Stephen Miller and the rest of the administration keep trying to push authoritarianism on a country that just isn’t interested. Follow @americandemands.bsky.social and help send the message loud and clear: Americans deserve better. #DemandBetter

I’ve been working on this for a WHILE and would be so grateful if you could check it out and share—Dems need a vision, and they keep missing the mark. We built it for them, grassroots, and have a plan to make it happen. Americandemands.com

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

So proud of my brilliant Sis @barbmcquade.bsky.social

The Global Sumud Flotilla is nearing what the Israeli military has designated a combat zone as its members attempt to break Israel's siege of Gaza. Mandla Mandela, the grandson of Nelson Mandela, speaks to us from abroad the flotilla.

Mark your calendars! Join together in great numbers, to peacefully say: "Enough!" #DefendDemocracy #StandUp #Solidarity

More than 1800 detainees who were interned in Trump's shuttered Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp have now disappeared without a trace. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Here's a wonderful opportunity to protect and preserve the integrity of our history. If you're in the DC area, consider volunteering. They need help! #DefendDemocracy #preservation #history

Loved the opportunity to interview this very interesting young artist, currently in residence in Essoyes, and to learn about her life as an artist and her work. #arts #France #artsplastiques #painting #LeGrandEst #Aube #Troyes #Essoyes #BarSurSeine

Kimmel was gracious but did not grovel. He was defiant and he was very much back. The comedian skewered and ridiculed Trump and his mobbed-up FCC boss, Brendan Carr. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

#StandTogether Right, left, center, let's get it together, for God's sake. We are all #Americans! #Solidarity #RiseUp

Come join Bill McKibben, Rise and Resist, and a room full of people who care about climate. No Trump pipelines! Let’s envision a New York running on clean energy.

Our so-called leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke. Even though Kimmel has returned on Disney and in some markets, Sinclair and Nexstar continue to preempt his show in others. You know what that means!? Time to make more friends. friendseverywhere.network
