Friendly reminder that you can stop doomscrolling & go do something!! I’m with other people IRL now, more than ever cuz folks are 😡 . Get out there! 💪

In San Diego, Episcopalian clergy have joined Catholic clergy, rabbis and others to accompany migrants to their court dates or ICE checkins. And while they're trained not to engage or confront ICE, we know ICE doesn't care. So this is not a rhetorical flourish.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Riot police for making noise, riot police for not being on the sidewalk, riot police for taking photos, riot police for not following instructions.

He really meant it: bread AND roses

CNN in Minneapolis: You can literally see someone is playing on the drum set right here outside the entrance of the hotel right now.

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

Anastasio Hernández-Rojas Mural Project, Chicano Park Led by master muralist Victor Ochoa, local community artists painted the mural on the 50-ft tall pillars (completed in 2020) ¡Anastasio, presente!

Cops went back inside, guess it’s too cold for them (it’s actually pretty cold tonight for SoCal)

Oh this is gonna be a fun one, cops are already in riot gear

Come on out complainers. We’re here.

I am donating to this and I would very much like it if others who can donate would do the same. It's not OK that only $6500 has been collected so far. Thank you. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Sorry the link I sent you didn’t work, @robynrox.bsky.social. Hope you can access this one.

Speak plainly and without hesitation.

One of the easiest things you can do right now is to speak plainly.

It’s, um, windy.

You cannot be too emotional. You can only lash out with unrestrained harm.

Well that was a weird coincidence.

Before I go, though, I feel bad for the bear no longer under the house in Alta Dena. I hope we can respect the misunderstood Greenland sharks who ate not blind but retain their eyesight into old age. This world is beautiful and could either kill or heal us and it hasn’t killed us yet.

Gonna shut this thing off for a little bit and read a book or cry.

I promised you some good news after a bleak week. Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about. It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home. radleybalko.substack.com/p/after-35-y...

Renée Good's last seconds alive with the man about to shoot her remind me of Elijah McClain saying, "You are beautiful and I love you" before he was killed. We have to end this brutality.

Love more fiercely than you have ever loved.

The logic of death squads, of extermination camps, is the same logic we are asked to embrace when in the future, we are told, we will be able to upload our brains and live forever. It’s a bodiless logic. Touch of others is hardly considered, so then—the failure to empathize, to create alternatives.

I’m so excited to finish this book and share what I’ve learned and who I’ve become in the process of learning about Langston, Pauli and Audre. In the meantime, here’s a photograph of Pauli Murray hopping a freight train in the 1930s:

All I ask is that you don’t lose track of what’s been happening, what’s still happening, what’s happening in Gaza and Sudan, in the schools and to our unhoused neighbors. It’s winter. And it’s cold—even here (although it doesn’t look like it).

Just heard the latest and I’m in shock. Not surprised, still in shock.

Had sort of forgotten because I didn’t take any pictures, but the Santa Ana blew the clouds away and reminds me how clear the stats were last night.

Good morning

San Diego marching against ICE after the murder of Renee Good

How strange to be without phone for hours

I’m at a rally for Renee Good in San Diego right now.

SD complainers get down to union street, the march is about to start.

Got a lot done today and I’m not necessarily happy about it.

I’m so pissed off.

Fuck.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Pay Palestinian artists!

Whenever I ask, ok but HOW will you do x, y, z? Folks rarely have any actionable answers. It's platitudes or it's big talk that they know they will never back up. It's profoundly depressing.

To be watching 15 year olds radicalized in real time y’all. Been seeing it.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

NGL, if someone says “I can handle watching this video of a person being murdered” that’s a major red flag for me

If you really want to engage in schadenfreude head over to the carnivore diet subreddit and see how often gout comes up.

I know its *bizarrely* hard for a lot of ppl in the US to understand this, but you dont actually need to look abroad for context or antecedents for bad/violent/anti-democratic behavior here. We have our very own history, both recent & distant, that informs our present far more than our countries do
