Prefiguration. We have to imagine a better world before we can live in it.
Fascism relies on the foreclosure of the imagination, and the myth that it is invincible and inevitable.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Folks are not upset enough that there were people, both with and without pre-existing conditions, who have been begging y’all to care about COVID-19 for over five years now, who have literally died from their post COVID ailments and the world has just continued to ignore it.

A better world requires us all to be so much more engaged, active than we are now. It really will take a social revolution to maintain.

Hey, if you’re feeling down during the holidays, you’re not alone. If you are alienated and hurting, you still belong. You still matter. It is worth being gentle with yourself.

I remember years ago trying to warn a Jewish friend about her. I spoke with a rabbi who offered to talk to her about Zionism. We haven’t spoken since. She was just starting her journey to Judaism after learning her family was Jewish a few generations back.
I hope she’s alright…

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I think, a lot of the time, when we call politicians "cowards" for not stepping up for us, it's actually the case that they never wanted to in the first place. Cowardice implies that they would have protected us, if only they had the courage.
I just think they lack the principles.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza
It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue
