“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

Others have remarked on this but the resurgence of the R word across the political spectrum is really wild? Like did I miss a memo about this? I expect it from some people but from others, you really can't come up with a better and more interesting way to describe people you don't like?

I hate that every day now I clean my apartment and take mental health walks with my dog to avoid hiding in bed, and both things help until I learn the newest ways the US federal government is being hollowed out further

For whatever it may be worth, I'm a fan of JB Pritzker's work. And right now, he's an elected Dem saying "we don't have kings in America and I don't intend to bend the knee to one" when far too many motherfuckers are auditioning for Vichy roles

sexual liberation etc etc sure but also i wish people remembered that sexual jokes also count as sexual harassment and you should be restrained on who and where you direct them at.

This is the bigger problem of right wing dominance on social media and influencers. It's artificial, it's purchased and continually renewed w/ ad buys & placement buys. It costs a ton of money to run a campaign like this. That's what the left needs, but the rich who claim to be left don't invest.

Dear Fellow White people When you are okay with racism "Ah that's just Great Aunt Millicent, pay her no mind" laughs along with racist joke to not be the woke killjoy etc You're racist. The racist bones in your body are the spine in which you lack.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

I do not believe in any tech product where the devs want us to view it with some form of religious awe, a divine gift redefining human experience and bequeathing knowledge unto us humble land apes. I believe in a tech product where the devs are like “this is handy for planning breakfasts”

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

Please, please archive your work. Please. I’ve recently been saving lots of my essays as pdfs just so the Internet doesn’t suddenly delete them all (this happened to a whole load of blogs I wrote for The Independent years ago). I don’t want you to wake up and suddenly find your work gone like I did.

It only takes four words to sum up the rise of authoritarian fascism, the fall of American democracy, and how a criminal conman got elected: Ignorance, apathy, misogyny and racism. 😳

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I’ve heard some stories recently of people complying with fascists’ demands after they were threatened. As a violence researcher (and someone who has received a good deal of threats), everyone should know that complying will not save you. It only teaches the threatener that threats work.

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter. Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can. Why is this hard for some of y'all?

"Kindness matters. But kindness does not = justice. Civility counts. But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice. Justice is. Love is essential. But love is not a passive, weeping bystander. Love puts in work." - Bernice King
