If you have an hour to spare and want to understand how #TeslaTakedown can materially change the political situation, please listen to this interview. This is a unique opportunity. Elon Musk is vulnerable. Spread the word, and let's take him down!

this is also, and not coincidentally, how antisemitism works and the rhetorical function it serves

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action. So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Listened this morning and highly recommend on a practical and (for lack of a better word) philosophical level. Movement Memos was already in my feed and now Live Like the World is Dying will be too. Good people doing good work in the world are who I need in my ear most often right now. 🙏

Two of my favorite ppl on what to do right now, thinking about how to do it out loud together. I genuinely cackled with laughter at a few points. Have already taken steps to do the food-prep event they discuss, with a group of folks I'm in community/neighbors with but not really politically...yet

“We are going to need cross-movement solidarity, with the understanding that criminalization is the means by which this administration will seek to crush dissent, destroy lives, and obliterate movements.” Solid analysis as usual. Basically: welcome and protect each other, + shut the fuck up.

As I mentioned in this piece, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was who Trump turned to in 2020 when he asked, "Can't you just shoot [the protesters]?"

"Our words, relationships, and work, may be marked for criminalization, regardless of whether we are operating outside the law or not. That has always been true, but it is more true now than it has been at any other point in my lifetime."

My weekly list of must-read articles, some organizing resources, and a reflection on the ascent of Kash Patel. What should we expect from an FBI headed by a Trump acolyte? How can our communities prepare? I have some thoughts, history, and resources to share on the subject.

Having a book club, even a virtual one (which can address accessibility and keep ppl safer from things like COVID etc) is a real, tangible thing folks can do. I'm talking about learning, not just being entertained. I'd highly recommend starting with Let This Radicalize You.

One of the best conversations I've listened to in a long time. Touches on: -prepping as leftist praxis -a manageable approach to go bag assembly -trans preparedness for This Moment -deescalation as movement building -balancing opsec & bringing in new people

I wonder how Democratic politicians will alert the public. Perhaps through an interpretive dance video with music by Drake posted on MySpace?

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Figure out what organizing means to you and do it. If you’re not sure how to think about that question, here’s a book to start with, not because it has all the answers but because it will help you think about your answers: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

We thought the DS9 two-parter "Past Tense" was eerily prescient of our time, but we're actually living in "Our Man Bashir:" a story so absurd you'd think it must be a simulation becomes life-threateningly real as a eugenicist billionaire plans to destroy the world for all but a few he deems worthy.

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Sitting w this quote from Lisa Fithian: "Whenever anybody walks into a new space, their limbic system is getting activated.
