Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do. You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

I'll be offline tomorrow. I'll be connecting in person with comrades and friends. I hope that you do something that gives you fuel for the fights ahead. It's a marathon not a sprint.

This feels much grimmer than 2017 because Trump’s rhetoric, policies, appointments and criminality are all worse now but the shock and stigma have gone. It’s normalisation all the way.

Had a really beautiful evening tonight with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social, teaching about media literacy. Was great being in community with a very chatty group of 60 inquisitive students from the US, Canada, India, England and Iran. I debuted an 8-part toolkit I'm developing for reading media:

gonna keep hammering this: there is no one database that: -is easily accessed by a street level bureaceat -has every or even most US citizens -is at all verifiable with pictures and/or biometrics It does not exist. American citizens are going go to get swept up in this and deported or killed.

I’ve had people in my replies calling me all sorts of things and dunking because I think it’s bad to kill someone because they’re unhoused and/or mentally ill and it’s just a reminder that this country doesn’t need an excuse to justify killing people

I think about growing up seeing Nikki Giovanni on TV shows, hearing her poetry over music on albums, seeing her books in people’s homes & school libraries alike. We have memories like these of Nikki Giovanni, interviewing the most famous man on Earth, Muhammad Ali: youtu.be/Dv5HbfIVA8w?...

Hegseth said he should be Defense Secretary because it's a "redemption story." First off, someone tell that to Hunter Biden obsessives.

A thing that happened during Enrique Tarrio’s testimony today was that he was like “here, I’ll be honest,” positioning honesty as a departure from the rest of his testimony, which generally stretched credulity. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Mexican President Sheinbaum: "70%of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."
