The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I am usually in this camp but I am interested in today’s experiment and what happens if it becomes a regular activity

Hey everybody if you have something to share, the snitch line is EndDei.Ed.gov. You can also email [email protected]

White people shouldn't fix their mouths to EVER talk about hard work in relation to Black people. That's really the bottom line.

And a reminder from a poet I return to all of the time. "NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down." - Diane Di Prima dionne.space/blog/dianedi...

Elon Musk's decision to create chaos within the federal government overnight because of his 5-bullet point email is exactly why he has no business being near our government. Our federal workers deserve better. Know that we stand with you.

At times of collapse, lots of people point to organizations they never actually support financially to pick up the slack. That can't work.

Today is a great day to remove corrupt NYC Mayor Eric Adams from office. Let's go, Governor Kathy Hochul!

The NAACP is holding corporations accountable for abandoning #DEI commitments. Their new tactical spending guide lists companies that have backtracked—because where businesses invest (or don’t) matters. #EconomicJustice #BlackHistoryMonth abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Each of us can focus on what we can do.

What is the point if we don't fight? Because there is still so much to fight for.

taking the opportunity to remind people that posting is not activism and now is as good a time as any to reflect on what material good you've actually done to help people in need. if you feel targeted by this, good. do something about it. change why you feel like you haven't done enough.

It's February which means it's #BlackHistoryMonth & I've said before I love #BHM. This month, I'm going to share a resource with a focus on Black history that I had a hand in making every day. Starting today with my Slavery & Resistance in NYC Walking Tour: Slavery and Resistance in NYC Walking Tour

Some of what Trump is attempting to do is unlawful, but some of his shadier maneuvers will likely be supported by the courts. SCOTUS is on his side. I don't say this to discourage people, but as a reminder that the law cannot be our bottom line. Our obligation is to each other, not the law.

My heart goes out to everyone involved in the plane crash at DCA. Once again we see the selflessness and bravery of those conducting search and rescue efforts.

My heart breaks for all victims and their friends and families of last nights horrific air crash,,, it’s a time of grieving and strength and love,,, not politics. May God bless everyone with strength to get thru this tough time together.

I know that Trans Youth Emergency Project could use donations. Perhaps they even need some volunteers. southernequality.org/tyep/

Donald Trump has blamed DEI for the plane crash. If I were in the briefing room, I would have held his feet to the fire, holding him accountable for such a terrible statement. That's why independent media is so important. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

I do not want to live out of spite for those that hate me. I want to live and *thrive*. I deserve more than an angry, sad life of just trying to get by. I deserve a life full of joy, safety, and excitement. & so do all of us who find our very existence threatened under the current hegemony.

what rightly frustrates people, myself included, are these descriptive posts. we already know what’s going on. what are you going to *do* about it. call for hearings. call for impeachment. withhold your vote. promise complete obstruction. anything!

There is no cavalry. No karma. No arc of history. Just us. Make calls. Make demands. Love each other. Refuse to carry out orders.

rest is productive too..burnout doesn't prove anything

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT. Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist. Take breaks, Take a breath, Be intentional with how you spend your time. Be effective with how you spend your energy. Support each other Rest, live, & fight another day.

And I am sorry but these 20-something Conservatives are simply NOT popular and that's what THEY HATE. They aren't cool. They aren't going to set any fashion standards. The generation of my niblings and Godkids laugh at them. Again, they HATE IT. They are loser Alex P Keaton types. He wasn't popular.

Adiel is great and her work in part prompted UPS to install ACs in their trucks during blistering hot summers. A true impact journalist.

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

Community is the antidote to despair. Happy to host! 🌹

It's Black History Month in a few days: one of my favorite month's of the year!

STAND FIRM, CALIFORNIA! DO NOT GIVE IN TO BLACKMAIL! The rest of the nation depends on it. He must not succeed. Once again, the great state of California has to lead the way. Thank goodness for that state! WE LOVE YOU, CALIFORNIA!

don't under-estimate the power of your friends' propaganda. i just re-installed infinity nikki even though i already played it before and know i dont like it, i dont like open words or the majority of the outfits. all bc my friend is so insanely in love with the game and it makes me wanna play it

Do Not Obey in Advance pisses me off. DO NOT OBEY. AT ALL.

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran. Nobody is safe.

Do one thing every day to help someone currently in harms way. Learn how to identify and protect neighbours from ICE agents. Stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. Wear a mask in solidarity with the disabled community. Learn about anti-Blackness and commit to doing better. Don’t let hate win.

Remember, if you see any illegal immigrants No you didn't.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Lot of people feel comfortable being open bigots now. Shut them down. Do not let them get away with their garbage.

It's 2025 and people are still just finding out about The Site That Shall Not Be Named's politics? Woof.

We are in a difficult moment and it’s imperative we that are not distracted by shiny objects—hello Gulf of America!—and focus on the things that will really matter long term. Stick w me for a little thread pls.

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for, NO I don't remember I haven't seen anyone I don't know Fuck off Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory Be an ally

We need to reach $5000 by Saturday. Please help us if you can. gogetfunding.com/support-the-...

They want us confused and lost. They want us alone and disconnected. So I will connect more. I will take care of myself better. I will ground myself. I will rest. I will pour into myself in my community. I will love and allow myself to be loved.

For anyone who needs to hear this: Survive. You can. I know you can. It’ll be hard, but humans are resilient. You are loved. You are valid. You are allowed to exist no matter what anyone spews from their mouth. Self care and be strong.

I know it might be hard but it’s important to pay attention to what is happening. Don’t look away or retreat into yourself. Invest in your community.Think about what you can do & who you can love & support in your community & go do it.And commit to doing it forever, not just for the next four years
