Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

The nonprofit my wife works for had an EPA grant to monitor air quality on the south side of Santa Fe, a neighborhood with a lot of immigrants and a lot of pollution. Trump administration took it away. I guess you can continue ignoring environmental racism if you don’t let people prove it exists.

Can anyone tell me when Popular Mechanics turned into the Weekly World News? I lost track of it for decades and now that it’s on my radar again, I keep thinking the next article will be about Bat Boy’s best anti-aging hacks.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

I backed this campaign. You can, too! Kickstarter is a great way to find new books and support authors. That’s why I’m a Superbacker.

If you told teen & young adult me, the one who had recurring nightmares about El Salvador death squads, marched against missiles, refused to buy Krugerrand coins for their boss, & danced in clubs to “Free Nelson Mandela” about the sh*t that’s happening now? I would not have believed you.
