The last few years have been tumultuous, painful and intense. I recently came across a quote that resonated with me. I'm going to use it for the next few months. "My faith is greater than my fears"

“As we saw during the first Trump term, there is a lot of controversy over some of his executive orders, but the ones connected to Israel/Palestine are not getting a lot of pushback from Democratic lawmakers.” Shocked, I tell you.

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

Watch. These. Spaces. I hate I gotta say this in 2025, but get your paperwork tight. Have at least 2 valid forms of ID. If you don't have your birth certificate, get it. Passport, renew it. Married women, I'm talking to you especially. Women's rights at risk go further than reproduction.

I seem to remember begging people to understand that this shit doesn’t work and is making voters more angry. All those voters wanted was to trust that if Democrats stayed in office, things would be different on everything from Gaza to the Economy. We failed.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

A useful research project for now is to find out which Blue states are stockpiling abortion pills. Who wants to take that on? The findings can be used by people who are in states that haven't done this to pressure their Governors. apnews.com/article/new-...

Use the names of the people who are taking the deleterious actions. Name them. If it's Musk, say his name. Whoever it is, say their names clearly and repeatedly. I think it's important because obscuring the names makes it seem as though these are forces beyond human control to impact.

Can we please let go of the Dems as resistance myth? Has funding genocide, signing on to mass deportation, allowing trouncing of trans rights, and all the rest of this absolute dogshit we live in taught us nothing?

All eyes on Gaza. The ceasefire agreement doesn’t begin for 72 hours and Israel is on a killing spree.

In which Israel's most read daily newspaper obliquely describes stealing hundreds of millions of dollars designated for starving refugees. To be clear, the Israeli govt used billions of shekels in food and medical funds for Gaza to pay themselves. https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/01/12/1026727/
