Better yet, keep your local grocery stores, farm stands, and farmers markets alive by donating gift certificates to those stores. It's a win win donation.

Verklempt, almost kvelling to see so many signatories to this letter. As my daughter says, NYC is probably the safest place in the world for Jews. Let's keep it that way. No, let's make it safer, and for Muslims, and everybody.

The EPA is picking and choosing who gets to work during the shutdown: "virtually everyone who is working to undo marquee Biden-era regulations for air pollution, climate change and
water quality is still on the job."

This is, to put it mildly, not normal.

I didn't even know about this guy, and suddenly I see this video about how my lab group has been attacked by an anti-wind group and their right-wing anti-environmental lawyers. 2 minutes to tell the story; and he's got a longer version with stuff about ID-ing misinfo.

Some people once cried, "no taxation without representation." Time again for taxpayers to rise up, resist, for real. Send the tax dollars owed to the feds to our states, so they can afford to take care of all the programs the Trump administration has cut. And that's shut down.

Yes, and.

We need a comprehensive and long term strategy that doesn't just counter Project 2025, but is positive and more ambitious than that right wing terrorist plot.

This dovetails a lot with what educators are asking themselves: more needs to be done to make affirmative claims about the value of literature, close reading, whole books, etc—without ceding all the ground to the classical ed and Great Books culture industry.

Matt Seybold @mattseybold.bsky.social · 12d

I didn’t get the wording down precisely, so I won’t quote it, but one of the things that hit hard in the room:

Reactionaries waging culture wars against the humanities have a more accurate account of our power than we do. And our humility is not admirable, but an abdication of responsibility.

That is, it requires noncooperation.

And yet, I will be peaceful, because peace is what we want to create, and because what I do is what I actually have control over. This doesn't not require cooperation.
