What can we possibly say while people from the USA are buying/selling/wearing merch promoting our country's current concentration camp: "Alligator Alcatraz" ? It's not left v right. It's right v wrong. Can you imagine Auschwitz merch in the 1940s?

Amazing story. Have to admit, I kinda relate to the wife.

Delighted to share this flash by @patriciabender.bsky.social Consider- how do you write directions to a memory?

You showed up to say NO KINGS on Saturday but the work continues and we need you in the fight. The road ahead isn't just about one protest or day. It's about building a movement powerful enough to win against authoritarian forces focused on destroying our democracy. Here are ways to stay involved.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

A Poetic Manifesto to Speak Out in Metaphor - open.substack.com/pub/lizardst....

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

Why Write? Art as a form of resistance: open.substack.com/pub/lizardst...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Excellent. And remember the ash heaps - mountains of decay and neglect .

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
