Update!
Over 1750 people have signed up for the Resistance Summer School pilot course!
This is the seed to a new movement and parallel education structure.
It won't put participants in lifelong student debt. Or be subject to attacks on diversity.

Columbia Canceled My Course on Race and Media. I'm Going to Teach It Anyway.
This is not a time for media literacy or historical knowledge to be held hostage by institutions bending the knee to authoritarianism.

An incredible, incredible thread. Look what people can do.
Update on my life: Last year, I joined my kids' school's PTA, because they needed a treasurer and I'm good enough with numbers. It was a straightforward, self-contained job: balancing the checkbook for an organization that only did a few fundraisers each year.

A plane goes down in Alaska and the response of the communities involved is to go to the airports to greet the planes and hug the pilots. Alaska is beautiful. So cold yet so very warm. Thinking of friends in Nome and Unalakleet today. Image of Nome in 2016, on a flight from Unalakleet to Nome.

I’ve been talking to my friend about songs and how kids break into song unprompted just because it feels good. I think now is a good time to share small acts of art in our everyday lives. I pick lullabies. I’ll sing those out and about. It’ll calm my central nervous system. Maybe yours too.

A Los Angeles trans woman was denied a passport even with a reverted M marker. She was threatened with arrest. She is being denied a passport in its entirety - not unlike Jews in Nazi Germany.

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.
It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy.
He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.

PSA: Take a break from the doom scrolling. One of the most important things you can do today is CALL your elected officials and voice your concerns.
Every call matters as staff keep count of how many care about an issue, which gives officials justification to speak up and fight.
