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...

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

I’m imagining the collective organizing work it probably took to get a person onto the Super Bowl field with that flag. I can’t imagine it just being some super rich person acting all by themselves. I hope we hear the story someday.

During the Super Bowl halftime show, a protester stormed the field waving a Palestinian and Sudanese flag, demanding the world’s attention on genocide and oppression. He was later tackled by security.

The people suddenly posting about Palestine just to blame those who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris are the same ones who only post about Black Lives Matter to say they ‘agree with the sentiment’ but don’t ‘condone the violence.’ Transparent as ever. 🙄

But they weren’t lied to. Being coddled in their dishonesty is part of how we got here. Shame is an appropriate emotion and trying to avoid making people feel it is what societally allows clearly rampantly harmful people to gain power. I won’t even grant them stupidity. They knowingly made a choice.

Something we don't talk about enough is how we, as a movement, collectively fail Black and Brown protesters who get jammed up. Our solidarity movements lose interest after the initial jail support stage. Criminal defense and support for comrades on the inside are lacking.

Commentators on @msnbc.com @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social mocking college students for not protesting the new dictator is peak hypocrisy. They wield immense privilege for personal gain, cater to the worst among us, and taunt those far braver than they’ll ever be. #FreePalestine

The key is that we don't all have to do the same things but we all have to do something, our part.

Seriously, white cishet people here in the US, stop reinventing the wheel when it comes to protests. Black, Indigenous, and queer people have been leading protests against this carceral apparatus for DECADES.

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

NY state Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter to hospitals reminding them that state law prohibits them from denying gender-affirming care to transgender minors. She also let them know a federal judge has blocked the Trump admin from freezing their federal funding for now.

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

Breaking news: President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order aimed at eventually closing the Education Department and, in the short term, dismantling it from within, according to three people briefed on its contents.

I get this message, but many white people use it to stay comfortable. I often hear, “I’m not a protest person—I contribute in other ways.” But do you think organizers enjoy it? Protests are hard, and when white people only show up to big ones for visibility, then disappear, it makes things harder.

It feels awkward posting about our book coming out. But kiddos need us. Some adults need us. We must keep creating and showing up. 🩵🩵 I am thrilled to tell you about our book launch for THE GIFT OF THE GREAT BUFFALO! If you are anywhere nearby, we would love to see you! Aapiji go Miigwech. 🦬🤎🦬🪶🦬🤎🦬

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans. Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here. Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

I know why people are focusing on 47's fans. But I want to say that they don't matter now. There are so many people to engage who haven't paid attention to electoral politics for years but can be part of mutual aid & rapid response networks now.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Now would be a good time for many university educators to stop acting on the incorrect belief that they are better than K-12 educators, but to build coalitions with them. Together, we are mighty. Cc @aaup.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

They can’t force us to spend years preparing for a school shooter while staying silent as they strip away the very protections that make students feel safe. Banning DEI in schools isn’t about safety—it’s about control, and we refuse to let our students be collateral damage.

Tomorrow I plan to go to school and teach the way I taught today & the day before that & the day before that. Respecting the students in my room means knowing their names & how they choose to be addressed. Respecting my content means teaching the truth. Respecting my families means I don’t…
