Wisconsin friends, there's an emergency action in Milwaukee with a demand to immediately #FreeJudgeDugan being planned. A comrade asked me to spread this far and wide if you're in town. www.mobilize.us/wfpower/even...

I'm a casual writer, when the mood hits, but I've been wanting to try and write a fantasy story that resonated with my thoughts about being white in this world. I can't remember how I found Left Unread Books @binderybooks.bsky.social but Michael's article is something I feel the need to share.

If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487 There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

@booker.senate.gov fired up and speaking truth in his 23rd hour. I've been watching for hours, what a statement and when he outlasts Strom Thurmond's record that's some poetry right there.

Libra: You will rise from the dead. And though that's a pretty neat trick all on its own, the fact you've been cremated really sells it.

The tension is palpable in white households across the country. Like pre-teens at their first dance we think 'do we need to stand up? Will someone else go first?' It's scary sure, but that first dance is such a rush, we all remember it. What will it be; comfort and Fascism or discomfort and joy?

We explain everything you need to know about Bluetooth, the long-standing wireless connectivity standard.

opossums imply the existence of apossums, epossums, ipossums, upossoms and sometimes ypossums

In another 'duh' moment from my white life. White folks desire for comfort and decorum robs many of us of the ability to be brave and suffer consequences. If we have the opportunity to stand up to oppression do we take the financial, societal, or physical hit? 
The answer is too often 'no'.

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.
