Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Absolutely. Call the reps you have, whether they're Ds or Rs. You can be incredibly powerful when you call YOUR OWN reps. PARTICULARLY very LOCAL reps. They don't get that many calls! You can make a big difference!

NOAA is in the Trump administration's crosshairs. You know the important work they do, but may now know that It's the descendant of the Coast Survey, the nation's first scientific agency, founded in 1807 under Jefferson. I spoke with maritime historians to put NOAA's legacy in context. 🧪🦑🌎🐟

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

I wish that journalists would stop uncritically buying into Musk's framing of what DOGE is doing as an audit. You can tell it is not an audit because it is being done by people with zero experience in auditing and the methodology is "poke around in files, looking for keywords without any context."

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

IRS enforcement is the most highly-efficient investment the government makes. $1 for enforcement brings back between $5 and $9 from tax cheats. Cutting the IRS is about one thing and one thing only: Making it easier for scumbags like Elon Musk to cheat the rest of us out of billions.

New zine sharing writing prompts: guante.info/promptzine I know a lot of what I share is niche in that it's poetry-focused, but a running theme in my work is that artists and organizers share a set of skills related to narrative-shifting and community-building. And cross-pollination is powerful.
