Essential reading/listening.

Now I see why they only let Vance write press releases in the Marines.

Listen to the start of this. The grovelling sycophant meeting Trump: “You got the markets seeing your brilliance”. This is the most catastrophically dangerous thing happening right now.

I know it's a little early for this, but let's face it: if anyone deserves a "Downfall" parody, it's Elon. Let's make this increasingly apropos in the coming days. youtu.be/v1UODyy-jng?...

Let this radicalize YOU.

a better way to invest in the future would be to tax these people at 90%, producing no appreciable effect on their incentives or lifestyles, and using the money to feed children www.bloomberg.com/features/202... www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-...

A guy who threatened to fund opponents to run against them is now the putative leader of Congress. Just like that. All because men who claim to hate D.C. would rather sell their souls and betray their country rather than go back to live in Shreveport,LA, Carthage, Kentucky, and Troy, Ohio.

We have a major fight ahead, but I see no other choice.

Jasmine Crockett speaks for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Leaked memo from the DIA ordering it to "pause" all commemorations for: MLK Day, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Pride, etc....w/ the rationale being that such things are somehow "radical," wasteful," and "harmful."

Fareed Zakaria and his Democratic Party pals have a message for the U.S. working class: drop dead. www.commondreams.org/opinion/demo...

Some EXCELLENT recommendations here for how you can engage with people in your community to get them involved in supporting your local library and protecting it from harm. librariesforthepeople.substack.com/p/for-the-pe...

An important message to everyone thinking about getting involved in resistance organizing and building community power. Do it! We need a major revival of "horizontalism," the kind I recall Marina Sitrin describing to people inspired by the Occupy movement back in 2011. It STILL makes good sense.

Dear Library Colleagues - They're coming for us. Please don't fail to see this. After all, it only makes sense. Libraries are democratic institutions that protect intellectual freedom, the right of access to information, and equal access. (1/5) www.everylibrary.org/billtracking...

This is a very important thread - an honest, clear assessment of recent trends that present major challenges to left political organizing going forward. We can certainly debate and disagree, but in doing so we should bring evidence, examples, and constructive approaches. We have to work together.

An important piece from the folks at Tempest: "Transformative change will require us to build resilient, democratic, and politically independent organizations out of the movements to come." tempestmag.org/2025/01/trum...

NYC-area friends: Coming up on January 20 - let's come together to honor MLK by continuing his work! And if you're not near NYC I'd wager there's a local action near you.
