“…if you need to talk to your trying-to-be-down auntie about how a land acknowledgement at dinner isn’t enough, please do let her know she can simply text FREESAM to 53-555 and make a tax-deductible donation to actually change the material conditions of Natives.”

Healthy democracies require protests. But how do we do it safely? I made this guide to help us navigate the risks.

Check it out, and please share with your networks. @coyotemedia.org's First Aid Kit stories are always paywall-free! ✊
The Bay Area’s protest legacy runs deep, but there are new risks: militarized police, more surveillance, higher stakes. In this First Aid Kit guide, @cecilialei.bsky.social breaks down how to stay safe, what to say (or not) if you're detained, and how to protect your rights if you’re risking arrest.

What should you consider if you're a non-citizen heading to a protest?

What's safe to post on social media while you're there?

Should you even bring your phone?

Getting to read @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social’s rap criticism for COYOTE is always such a joy, man. I just know I’m in for hit after hit.
“[The album] is as much a spiritual hymn as it is a hyphy resistance… especially when Bank$ veers into anger. ‘Oakland Unified’ facetiously points to the loss of Black residents who’ve been pushed to the geographical and cultural fringes (‘Oakland n***** don’t die, they move to Sacramento County’).”

The late-blooming lyricist opens up about his debut solo album, ‘East Bay Times.’

After more than a decade in the Bay Area's rap scene, Philip Bank$ is finally releasing his debut solo album. It's a time capsule of Oakland told by someone who prides himself on speaking "for those who aren't able to tell their own stories."

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

Love this interview between @emmaruthless.bsky.social and @nuala.bsky.social.
Is it perimenopause, parenthood, the pandemic, or the collapse of the American empire? In this conversation,
@emmaruthless.bsky.social and @nuala.bsky.social unpack post-40 hormones, the failure of Western medicine to serve people with uteruses, and what's keeping them up at night.
Perimenopause, Fascism, and Other Reasons We’re Not Sleeping
Emma and Nuala try to figure out if they’re perimenopausal, wonder if it’s anxiety or the end of the American empire, and designate Tori Amos as their menopause cult leader.
