I'm honored to share the winners of the 5th Keeley Schenwar Memorial Essay Prize, given in memory of my sister. Both essays this year reflect on the stark, inherent violence of prison, and convey a key message for our time: Where there is injustice, there is resistance. truthout.org/articles/ann...

“Major never abandoned the struggle against fascism, which is to say, the fight to free us all… the way to honor Major is to keep hammering holes in the walls that confine us, and to expand the trans and queer spaces she built.” - Toshio Meronek & Eric A Stanley truthout.org/articles/to-...

Ughhhh. Every dollar put into food assistance results in $1.40-$1.70 in local economic output. Feeding people creates jobs. Farms, stores, etc. This has been studied over and over and over and over. And we still can’t convince elected officials. #SaveSNAP povertycenter.columbia.edu/sites/povert...

We're at $350/$500 on this request. Would love to wrap it up soon. Please RT for reach! Thank you. 🙂 C: $Lockdownyourlife V: lockdownyourlife www.ko-fi.com/lockdownyour...

Let's try something new. If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation. If it's less than $50, I'll round up. Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer. Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

the job market is an actual joke right now, so if you need a website or an addition, please reach out!

You have hungry neighbors no matter where you live. There are a bunch of ways to participate. And most food banks offer boxes to volunteers — organizers understand that those of us who need these resources are often the most likely to pitch in. www.feedingamerica.org/take-action/...

Example of media self-censorship: "Earlier this year, the chief content officer for our parent company, e.Republic, stated in a meeting that we should not run articles that could draw the attention of the Trump White House and have them try to shut us down." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Investigators hunting the gang behind the Louvre jewel heist have found traces of DNA samples in a helmet and gloves and are aware of new video showing the thieves escaping the museum, prosecutors confirm to NBC News.

I keep seeing Dems blamed for this guy's candidacy and I just want to point out that less than a week ago the complaint was that Dems weren't backing him. This is a case study in how easy it is to manipulate recent history.

We should do this... x, y, z. Me: What's the strategy? [crickets]

A trillion dollars was stolen by this administration.

Since the “ceasefire,” Netanyahu has killed 100+ Palestinians, has continued to restrict aid into Gaza, banned all UN investigators, & still enforces an international media blackout. And billionaire owned Washington Post runs this pro genocide editorial. Why do you still have a Wash Post sub?

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

With this in mind, we are absolutely delighted to announce a partnership between Bitch Magazine and The Flytrap to reprint select posts from the Bitch archive. The Bitch is back and you heard it here first!

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House. This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

Thank you Kimberlee Crenshaw and the African American Policy Forum for hosting an incredible conversation with me and Jason Stanley about why authoritarians fear educators. We both describe fascistic behavior in our books. We want people to be able to identify it.

New 'state of climate action' report gives you a much better picture than daily headlines about contextless solar panel or EV sales - Most things are going in the right direction - Most things are badly off track to the pace of change required systemschangelab.org/state-climat...

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

So we gave away our medicine and food funding and that half a billion dollars bought literally nothing. #SaveSNAP #SaveMedicaid #SaveACA

Idaho just passed a law to remove all vaccine mandates. The author wants other states to follow suit. It means you cannot keep unvaccinated children out of schools and daycares even with confirmed diagnoses. It’s terrifying
