"Sinn Féin won't travel to White House over Trump's policies." When a leader calls for straight-up ethnic cleansing (of Gaza), this is the only principled response. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Toni Morrison would have been 94 today and would have had a whole of a lot to say about what we're living through. Still her voice bellows down the hallway of time with what she did say 20 years ago, so hauntingly timely now:

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿

I have contacted GoFundMe to ask them to release funds to the recipient. After stating my concerns, I asked to talk to a human, and then eventually just said "what the fuck is going on." I then was able to enter my name and the link to the GFM and they are supposed to contact me in a couple days.

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.
