More snapshots from #nokings in western Massachusetts.

Berkshire County, Massachusetts quilters are in the job. #nokings

The revolution isn't a superhero coming to save us. It's a critical mass of human beings deciding to save each other. Every day brings us closer. We might not get to see it. But SOMEONE will. And that's enough for me.

There WILL be liberation. It's inevitable. And it might not be tomorrow, or next year, or the next decade. But that better world is coming, and every tiny act of kindness and solidarity you show another human being brings it that much closer.

If we haven't won when I'm dead, someone will replace me and the fight will continue unabated. That we might not get there in my lifetime isn't a loss, it's an excuse to say the fight is pointless so we can justify not doing anything.

Despair is the weapon of the enemy. I see so much of it on social media, saying nothing matters, all is lost, and hope is foolish. I disagree. I refuse to believe the battle for equality and liberation is over and we lost. I REFUSE.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

I don’t post on here much, but wanted to say that it is an intense and scary time to be an activist. Check in with your local progressive groups. Support them however you can.

You’re in her dms, we’re funding her abortion. We are not the same.

“Fund the police” was a whole applause line for the people best situated to prevent this.

Once you realize that every public good you want has a cop in the way, then you begin to understand our current predicament.

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Williamstown, MA today! #handsoff

Wish the weaponization of rape fears for racist ends was seen for what it is—a cynical insult to rape victims—rather than as a reason to delegitimize women’s claims of gendered hurt.

A lot of people both inside and outside journalism are committed to a sort of knowing cynicism about Trump that in its predictive power is indistinguishable from profound stupidity.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Marco Rubio is threatening to invade Panama and is leading Trump’s illicit scheme to eliminate USAID. Here’s why our style guide still calls for labeling him a moderate.

A WORD.

Robert F. Kenney got into Harvard by submitting an application that was a single page long and consisted entirely of his name. Here's why it's time to end DEI.

My children have polio and I’m dying from the bird flu. But at least DEI is gone.

this guy wore a mask and didn't keep his cell phone on him when he fled and as a result a police department that is itself one of the largest armed forces and intelligence agencies on planet earth is completely flummoxed

The Stop Cop City story is something organizers everywhere should pay attention to, especially if you’re doing bail fund work:

#Philly. I’ve never seen this before🥰

Good morning! Here to do my #introduction. I am a YA author focused on social justice/marginalized kids. I am a community organizer focused on policing and prisons. I currently run a bail fund for my rural Massachusetts community. We post bail for low-income defendants held pretrial on $500 or less…

Spoke to @rtraister.bsky.social about what's different in a good way from 2016

I wrote about the need to rethink our approach to direct action in changing times.
