I'm a broken record on this so I'll just say again that you should take every opportunity to [if you can] gather with other people who are trying to do constructive things in the world. Attend the zine fairs, the craft circles, the workshop sessions, food distros, people's assemblies, all of it.

ONE PERSON is responsible for a huge # of book challenges in SC. ONE PERSON is responsible for 40% of book challenges in FL. (His name is Bruce.) A single voice absolutely makes a difference. Use yours and raise it for good. For god's sake, are you going to let fucking Bruce run the show?!

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

Point out things are illegal not from a belief that the courts will save us (they almost certainly won’t) but because it’s important to not shift toward an authoritarian mindset by allowing them to normalize illegal shit

Don’t ’new normal’ any of this like folks did with Covid. This isn’t something natural beyond our control that we need to accept, adjust to, & soldier through. There are people behind this who shouldn’t be made welcome or comfortable. If someone tells you you’re overreacting, don’t trust them.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

The revolution is here. It’s been here. You don’t see it because revolution doesn’t mean what you think it means. Wear a mask. Feed people. Get in the way of ICE. Teach your kids to not be assholes. Don’t call cops on your neighbors. Everyone wants to be a general and nobody wants to make shoes.

You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over" Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.

She's 💯 right: "Anytime a person can pay $250 million into a campaign & be given full access to the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, we are at war." Thank heavens somebody in elected office finally seems to have an accurate read on this crisis.
