Thinking today about how freedom is an AND, not an OR. How we can (must) think about who to take with us, not who to leave behind. Chag sameach. A good Passover to all those celebrating.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Gen Z is not “functionally illiterate.” They’re learning the skills they need for their world, just like every generation before them. Example: Gen Z looks at fake images and generally knows they’re fake—making them more "literate" at interpreting images than older users who keep sharing them.

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now. That is not this assignment. Thread of places to go to get started. More coming out of LiST this Thursday.

One thing some of you can do is to stop asking organizers to do everything for you. If you want more coverage of protests, then take it upon YOURSELVES to contact your LOCAL press to ask why they aren't covering protests. YOU can do that yourselves. YOU.

1. Yesterday, ten Democrats capitulated on an Republican budget, empowering the worst of Musk and Trump, and gutting medicaid. It is a foreshadowing of LGBTQ+ and trans fights to come. I ask: Where is the line which Dems will NOT vote for one of these bills? Subscribe to support my journalism.

Or as @theonion.com would put it: “After voting to fund Nazi, Chuck Schumer goes on book tour to explain why Nazis are bad.”

So two Arizona senators are voting against advancing a vote on the gop spending bill, and two New York senators are voting to advance that bill. Now explain to me again how blue states are good and red states are bad and blue states need to just leave this country for something better?

And if you’re in another state—any state—give your senators there another call before they vote on advancing the GOP spending bill, too.

Arizonans! Tell our senators NOT to advance the GOP spending bill. As red-state democrats they need reminding that we WANT them to stand against expanding Trump & DOGE's power. Senator Gallego: 202-224-4521; 480-697-3600; 520-777-0400 Senator Kelly: 202-224-2235; 602-671-7901; 520-475-5177
