NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

Figure out what organizing means to you and do it. If you’re not sure how to think about that question, here’s a book to start with, not because it has all the answers but because it will help you think about your answers: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/

Libraries are where it is at. Where I live, the librarians were (and still are) the folks who made me feel welcome & safe. Def get and/or use your library card. Don't just get digital items. If your library has self-serve or swipe card entry, go during library hours too. Make library requests.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Just so we’re all clear: -Dems bend over backwards to Netanyahu’s every whim carrying through with financing a genocide, Bibi wants Trump to win and it costs Dems the election. -At the request of Netanyahu, the Tiktok Ban bill is Revived under a Dem President, closer tying it to Biden moreso

For those of you, like us, trying to fathom the scale of devastation in the #LAFires, we collected some books we hope might be helpful, to provide comfort or guide action. Readings on #mutualaid and community disaster response, on indigenous ecology and land management, on grief and survival. (1/7)
