Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Between Baraka, Iver, and Padilla - you gotta ask why it’s only our legislators of color taking these risks. Disproportionate punishment will reign down on them but they are alone in going directly to places where abuses of power are happening. Meanwhile, white moderates debate “distractions”.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

The dismantling of public health will kill & disable countless people and cause generational trauma. I’m begging folks to wear a mask. Ideally an N95 or better. It’s a small but powerful thing you can do to protect your health & the health of others. We must do our part to save one another.

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

The reason Democrats are trying to downplay the significance of ICE raids and a military response to protestors in relation to the Trump bill is that they also support ICE raids and military responses to protestors, whereas they would prefer that Medicaid not be cut.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. In this instance, "ice" translates to "kidnappers" or "body thieves"

They can’t police trans people’s bodies without policing cis people’s bodies, and they can’t police immigrants without policing citizens.

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Years as a Goth prepared me for peoples’ shitty takes on trans folk: Cultural criticism of Gothic fashion in the 80s & 90s boiled down to, “Why would they do this to themselves? It’s not attractive to me personally.” So many people apply this metric, never realizing it’s not about them

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be the most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.
