It’s Disability Pride Month. Fascists are enacting a blatant eugenicist project worldwide. You can disrupt it. You can defy fascists, do community care, keep resistance efforts healthy, & shield marginalized groups from disproportionate harm. How? Wear an n95 in public. Give/get mutual aid:

It was never about sports. We’ve been telling you guys for years. Sports were a means to an end. And here we are.

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

hey when we say that liberals and democrats are worse than useless on trans rights this is the kind of shit we are talking about :) by the way :) what is the fucking point of conceding on title IX like this. what is the fucking point.

Sometimes people ask why DSA councilors in Portland can’t do what Mamdani is doing and part of that is that he has executive power as the Mayor. You need a progressive Mayor with a progressive legislative body (the city council) to make big change. Let’s use the rent freeze as an example ⬇️

Mycelial organizing is not very visible most of the time. It's not hierarchical, it is leaderful rather than centralized under a single leader. There's no central tree trunk to target, no branches to follow to trace the organization. You can't watch the fruit develop and predict its ripeness.

Almost a decade ago, I was very Special Interested in mushrooms and developed an organizing training framework based on mycelium. The core teaching was, people think the above-ground part (the mushroom) is the body of the organism, but that isn't the case. So too with movement. (cont)

One of the simplest & wisest quotes about cities is Fred Kent’s: “If you plan cities for cars & traffic, you get cars & traffic. If you plan for people & places, you get people & places.” Enlightened cities around the world are doing this. Some still think cars & traffic are the answer.

I wrote a short zine about why I mask and why masking is an important part of social justice work as a class assignment, and I like how it turned out so much I want to share more widely! 😷 incorporealbard.online/5reasonsimask/

I would like AOC to run for three reasons: 1. I think the D candidate in 2028 is strongly favored to win regardless of who it is 2. We need to elect someone who understands the moment and is committed to a new reconstruction 3. Of all plausible candidates I am most convinced AOC meets that bar

Proposal: We upgrade Moda but it’s to host Nuremberg Trials 2.0

Imagine using $1.7 billion to address hunger, housing, education, and medical care. Imagine using $1.7 billion to address the wage gap and the lack of resources for survivors of violence and abuse. We should never look at these ideas as too radical or impossible again.

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

This November, Portland district 3 should vote for our incumbents -- @councilormorillo.bsky.social and @councilortkl.bsky.social -- as well as @mullen4pdx.com! Brandon Mullen looks like our best chance to replace Steve Novick with someone who won't help Mayor Wilson in his war against working ppl.

It's possible to build better things in the world. Collectively, we can accomplish a lot.

Here’s a sneak preview of my Community Health And Safety amendment to the budget, which cuts over $2M in security for elected representatives and gives that money to CHAT, Portland Street Response, Lunch & Play, and the Office of Violence Prevention. All amendments will be filed on Thursday!

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

It's the exact same playbook that segregationists ran against the NAACP in the 1950s. They sued to get membership lists in Arkansas during Little Rock, hoping to single them out for retribution. Meanwhile, Alabama -- this same state below -- just outlawed the organization entirely.

Here’s some rare good news about the federal workforce: FEMA has reinstated 15 whistleblowers who signed the Katrina Declaration criticizing DHS cuts to the agency and got placed on indefinite leave for their trouble. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

I asked Virginia State Senate leader Scott Surovell why Republicans always seem to find a way around such procedural obstacles whereas Dems are so often stymied by them. The exchange got interesting: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

I truly believe that the baby steps add up mentally for us as individuals too. I honestly cannot believe how much I have cancelled in the last five years just from doing a bit at a time and aligning other life changes toward it

The Seed Song

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

If you hate the things a stupid pundit says, please block them instead of keeping the endless news cycle they depend on for engagement alive. Just seal them underground.

Today’s episode is about Louisiana v. Callais, last week’s decision gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Man, seeing Mamdani hold slumlords accountable makes me wish we had a socialist Mayor. The sad reality is that the executive branch can cut through red tape like that in a way the council can’t, but we’re using that power to…test out overnight shelters that have already been proven not to work.

Hantavirus is not going to become our next pandemic. But you should be masking anyway especially while traveling if you don’t want viruses making you sick. bsky.app/profile/sail...

This is why I passed a policy to restructure existing staff into a Data Privacy Office, we need the Mayor and City Administrator to execute it. We need a standing data governance office to regularly research these things because Sightline is neither the first nor the last technology we will see.

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A lot of people are quick to say they *can't* give up Amazon. Okay, don't. Just don't make it your default. That thing you threw in your basket that you can get elsewhere? Get it elsewhere. If everyone still buying from Amazon reduced their spending by 20%, Bezos would be screaming bloody murder

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
