Comrade @heathercorinna.bsky.social just reminded me about this outstanding piece from @thellpsx.bsky.social in 2021 on how mutual aid in the disability community sometimes looks very different from that in nondisabled spaces! Very important read in this moment.

AOC says a bill to limit the power of middlemen in the pharmaceutical industry that had almost unanimous support fell apart after Elon Musk tweeted against it. "It killed drug pricing reform that would save people money on their insulin, on their asthma inhalers — everything that they need.”

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

I can not overstate the need for headline writers who better understand race. This doesn’t impact “groups based on race” it targets students of color. All white frats and clubs will be fine. They are segregationists—not interested in equal access. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Of course it is not the most elite institutions with the most resources fighting back. It is those with the fewest resources who serve the most marginalized populations. For these institutions DEI is not an optional add-on but their entire mission.

Had a wonderful time sitting on an Asian American student group-organized panel for an event last night. We had a fabulous discussion about identity, intersectionality, and where we go from here. The work doesn’t stop just because they’re trying to criminalize diversity and difference.
