If I send you this, it’s because I know you’re talking s**t, you know you’re talking s**t, and I know you know you’re talking s**t.

Kudos to @jpalfrey.bsky.social and the MacArthur Foundation for stepping up at this critical moment. Increasing foundation giving to fill the gap left by the broken promises and breached contracts of federal funding shows true leadership and compassion. #belovedcommunity apnews.com/article/maca...

What he said.

Just to answer Elon Musk's question about who funds us: You do. There’s another recess coming up and Republicans are going to do everything they can to avoid their constituents. We won’t let them get away with it. Chip in to help make this the biggest recess yet: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

#NEW: More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

#OtD 19 Feb 1951 a general strike of agricultural and unskilled workers broke out in Grenada demanding pay increases. Despite killings by British troops the strike continued until winning 50% increases and paid holidays in May stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9...

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

"Like the abolitionists of the 19th century arrayed against the planter class, today we need to break the economic, ideological and political foundations of billionaire rule." @lfelizleon.bsky.social for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

Good advice ⬇️

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Thank you, Southwest Airlines

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.

This is where I am too re: Musk. He will not be arrested and people need to be real. Stop with the fairytales. A concerted and DISCIPLINED version of BDS targeting his companies starting with Tesla is a good place to focus.

The 19th century term describes the perceived right of Americans to use force or the threat of force to wrest desirable land from the grasp of others.

“Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again.” Less than 2 weeks into his presidency, how do you now interpret this statement?

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

👍 sounds good to me

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
