Dream of that world. Organize for that world.
We like to start our day with an optimistic good morning post, but after reading of the mass shootings at Brown and Bondi Beach, we’re heartbroken. So recently we felt that terror ourselves.
So let’s dream of a world where people aren’t randomly shot while living their lives. That’s optimism.

My thoughts are with my alma mater.
My anger is for all of us. We should not be afraid to exist in our schools, grocery stores, and city streets.

The regime is weak. That doesn't mean it's not dangerous. But it means it's beatable, and we're beating it.
Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

Having a hard month and something about #kitchendwellers is helping get me through it.
If you haven't yet, give them a listen!
Also, any recommendations for other bands I'd like if I love them?

A very coherent thought on ChatGPT et al. And let's not forget the horrific environmental costs.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

Was teaching my child about Star Trek (best show ever BTW)
Learning about the Borg phrase 'resistance is futile', I said futile = useless.
Their response: Resistance is NOT useless.
They are right.

This is how we survive this. Take notes, everybody. We survive this together. ❤️❤️❤️
In the face of fear and oppression, our greatest strength lies in unity. Despite being broken and humiliated, residents of a Chicago apartment building rise together, finding power through their struggle.

I use Tidal and it works well. Lots of great free streaming radio, too. @folkalley.bsky.social , for instance!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.
