I spoke to the Minneapolis City Council last week about how the academic evidence indicates that an #EvictionMoratorium is an effective & measured tool to maintain community safety — during the #ICE invasion.

The context of Dr. King's often-quoted statement that "health injustice is the most shocking and inhuman form of inequality" was his March 1966 press conference with the Medical Committee for Human Rights.

Let us know you will be there to say NYC stands with Minnesotans, ICE Out for Good. Our communities deserve to live without fear – free from raids, detention, and the expanding reach of surveillance.

The Pentagon is readying 1,500 soldiers for potential deployment to Minnesota, where MVP partners are peacefully pushing back against ICE. Here’s what partners are doing and how you can help. movement.vote/blog/2026-01...

For today, we need to also hold up the fierce freedom fighting legacy of Coretta Scott King, Dr. King’s political partner. Eight ways to be like her for our struggle today.

Quoting Schumer & Jeffries in order to criticize them tends to reinforce their dominance in Dem-party dynamics.

Instead, it's better to boost models of opposition-party leadership, like that of @ayannapressley.bsky.social here.

I truly do believe universal child care is one of the most important policies to counter fascism. I believe it exemplifies a counter vision for the future where our needs are met with community, care, and joy.

social media is still such a weird and relatively novel way of knowing people

Bluesky runs an appview.
Blacksky runs an appview.

A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever.

To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline.

One has new posts from Łink.
One doesn’t.
