Boycott El Salvador #ElSalvadorCoffee #boycottelsalvadore

Holocaust Encyclopedia defines a concentration camp as “Functioning outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” Today, it’s happening again as Trump disappears immigrants to El Salvador. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-united...

This is going to be EPIC: All your favorite Democratic creators (and a few huge surprise guests) are coming together for a MASSIVE zoom Tuesday. This is going to be one of the most important conversations of the Trump presidency. Will you repost and join us? 🧵

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

NEW: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case this term that could mark the beginning of the first nationwide rollback on contraception rights in the Trump era, argues @susanrinkunas.com.

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity Trump: Trade war! Colombia: OK Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights Colombia: Good. Was that so hard? Trump: They gave in!

Could the last principled person leaving the Pentagon install a breathalyzer test to unlock our missile silos? Please and thank you.

Boycotting has lost its bite with the rise of monopolies. You know what they say, Evolve or Die

🧵 Some losses hit you in waves, long after the moment has passed. Kamala Harris leaving office today is one of those losses—a grief that feels like an unbearable weight pressing down on my chest, bringing me to tears. I think about where we’d be now if Kamala had won. /1

I don't like the January New Year's resolution ecosystem that floods over women. Women are told there's so much to fix about themselves, when what they really need is for policy to fix economic barriers that hold them back. My latest newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/kedsecon...

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

True luxury is found in the simplest moments.

All I want for Christmas is to wake up and realize the US election was just a nightmare and Kamala is actually the president, and that someone spiked my coffee in celebration of that fact.

This basically sums it up for me, too.

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

Aspiration comes from that TBR pile. Inspiration comes from the books within.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
