A Tribute to an Oracle, Alice Wong
Alice had the ability to look to the future and a world where laws and attitudes did not keep disabled people poor, pitied, and isolated.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If you're in Mass and haven't added the LUCE hotline to your phone yet in case you see ICE, take two seconds and add it right now.
It's staffed 5am-9pm every day in multiple languages.

Hey Mass folks, I hate that this resource needs to exist, but it literally just came in handy.
You may know about LUCE from their ICE Watch Hotline (617-370-5023), but they also have a really comprehensive collection of other resources for immigrants at risk of ICE action. Maybe bookmark the link?

If showing up in community today felt great, imagine how cool it would be to always be working on building new worlds & resisting fascism!
Wherever you are, there’s probably projects to plug into. If there isn’t, you can get together with some friends or even just by yourself & start doing things.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.
@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

the part of me that still sincerely believes human beings are capable of equitable governance always gets a little verklempt by stories where a jury of regular people holds the line against fascism. braver than all of Congress tbh
underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

By quickly pushing people to believe that the elderly, disabled, poor, and others were a necessary sacrifice, the ruling class and corporations primed the public for more fascist incursions. They observed how many give in to destroying one another and themselves.

This is a new development in ICE tactics
two people stopped to document ice agents who'd pulled over a work van near grand/kostner in humboldt park around 6:30 this morning.
that's when they say ice agents blocked in their car, threatened them with arrest if they didn't stay put, and took photos/videos of them and their car.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
Speaks for itself.
