#WinRozario should be alive. He was safe at home until NYPD arrived. Within 2 minutes, Officers Alongi & Cianfrocco tased and shot Win at least 5 times. Join us with Win's family + DRUM for a vigil on Thursday 4/3 to honor Win's life & to demand the cops be fired now!

We're 1 of 50 orgs sending a letter to @nypdpc.bsky.social @mayorsoffice.nyc.gov urging them to #FireJonathanRivera for #AllanFeliz. To say we are disappointed they did not meet the family’s 3/31 deadline is a gross understatement. It’s past time for Rivera to be fired! Full letter: buff.ly/9qlefE3

#AllanFeliz was unarmed when Lt. Rivera assaulted, tased + shot him in the chest in 2019. Both the NYC CCRB & the NYPD’s discipline judge recommend he be fired but instead he was promoted! Enough is enough—Commissioner Tisch + Mayor Adams do the right thing: #FireJonathanRivera by March 31!

I wrote a book about bureaucratic violence and if there’s one thing I wish everyone knew right now, it would be: The people most harmed can’t tell what’s happening or why. Their lives unravel and, more often than not, they are taught to blame themselves—or other victims.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

More measles cases in the U.S, this time in Kentucky and New Jersey. Officials say they don’t believe they’re linked to the Texas outbreak, but stress the importance of vaccination. Remember if you get measles, it can wipe out previous vaccines & immunity. Respirators work well too!

Texas measles outbreak is up to 124 cases & US just had their first measles death in ten years. RFK Jr is spinning this as “not unusual”, but it absolutely is. Sadly it may not be unusual in the years to come. Get your vaccines. Wear a mask. An N95 or better offers excellent measles protection:

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

If you’re not vaccinated for measles, now is the time. If you’re unsure, talk to your doctor about getting a titre check. Masks work well against measles, N95 or better! Mask up to protect yourself, your community and the most vulnerable around you.

Gonna keep stressing that you should take advantage of every possible opportunity you can to gather with others over the next few years. These can be virtual and/or in person. Go to events, protests, workshops, meetings. Enhance your organizing skills and practice them how you can.

There's something that @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social regularly says which is that you don't need to live in someone else's imagination. I think that it's so important to hold on to this. Work to create the world YOU want to live in rather than to succumb to the one designed by your enemy.

This spring, FANGORIA pays tribute to one of the most visionary filmmakers of all time - David Lynch. Though Lynch’s film work spanned (and defied) genres, his dark visions over the years – from ERASERHEAD to BLUE VELVET to LOST HIGHWAY and beyond – have left an indelible imprint on our readers.
