This is a time when we need conveners more than ever. It's difficult and thankless work but boy do we need you right now. If you are good at gathering people, your skills and energies are needed.

Really wild and disheartening to see people who think of themselves as ‘liberal’ defending the government for kidnapping an anti-genocide activist off the street. How people manage to not learn the most straightforward lessons from the worst episodes in history is beyond me.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

One day, if we ever get out of this, it’s going to seem very conspicuous that in the years after Dobbs the media and elites were preoccupied with pronatalism, male loneliness, and prolonged digressions about feminists’ various evils and personal failures.

This is part of why running a book club where we engage with the real law & history of the US feels meaningful in this moment, even if there’s no obvious direct/immediate impact. Self-education is so important when the state has no interest in you having that information.

“Any other administration couldn’t have gotten away with this” is a weird take after the last administration got away with genocide. Also after the whole history of the US. Idk.

It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this: open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

Last thing, people don't actually know 'what will have an effect.' They simply do not. Do what you believe must be done within your capacity and do it with others. Be an agent rather than a pundit.

If you live in Philly and especially if you have children in the public schools, let the school district know you agree with their decision re: trans students and sports.

runforsomething.net has a list of candidate resources that will help you run for office. One of the biggest reasons we’re in the mess we’re in right now is because not enough good people run for office and take active roles in campaigns. Be the example and @runforsomething.net

It is so hard to stay informed right now without collapsing into despair for the US, even though I know there is no choice but continuing to do the small things we can each do. Have to pause @strictscrutiny.bsky.social every ten minutes though bc it’s all so overwhelming 😅😩

I can't stress this enough, join groups online or in person with people who clearly see what's happening currently. It will ground you and make you less fearful.

USA appears to be going up in flames, but I’ve been encouraged by the number of people (mostly women) in my life thinking about how to proactively build community and take action steps as/where possible. It’s something.

Again, nothing is just going to "happen." People have to dead that idea. We will have to make things happen. A significant chunk of USians is bought into the reality TV Tr*mp show. And the country has a significant # of easily demagogued and manipulatable people. So it's going to take work.

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

I know @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has said it a million times but I think we all really need to deeply internalize that establishment Democrats by and large are not trying to win. We can stop wasting energy trying to understand their efforts in a framework that assumes they are the “opposition.”

Don't know why folks keep pretending Trump succeeds due to "luck" instead of corruption or that Dems lose due to ignorance instead of complicity. The actual dynamic is abuser/enabler -- and it's been that way for a long time. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/behold-a-p...

Our pro bono project helping junior lawyers that have been displaced by Trump’s hiring freeze of federal attorneys has been a huge success so far. If you’re looking to hire a junior lawyer, ESPECIALLY A FIRST YEAR ASSOCIATE, please send me an email — [email protected]. No DMs, please.
