I am thankful for my indigenous brothers and sisters who have cherished and stewarded their sacred traditions in spite of the ravages of colonialism.

OK, but if violence isn’t acceptable, why is it OK to tear gas neighborhoods, beat people, and then there’s also the history of genocide and all of that?
Seems to me that it depends on who’s in power.

This weekend I was lucky enough to attend an Organizer Training 101 with my local IWW branch. It was a full 2 days in person, something I haven't attempted in well over a decade.
Even though I'm exhausted, the hope & solidarity was 100% what I needed

Almost every day the fascist stories are accompanied with stories about record anxiety and stress and uncertainty and loneliness and hardly anyone wants to connect the obvious dots.
Fascism is a collective breakdown. People are struggling and there has to be relief.

If the "resistance" group you're working with doesn't recognize and CENTER disability justice, you're wasting your time.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

Chatting w/ a friend tonight about the strange grief of losing friends, family to the cult of MAGA. They aren't evil monsters. They're people you love. They're in a cult. It's like a breakup but worse. It's like death but not. They're losing years of their lives on a cult and you can't rescue them.

It's wild how something as small as "maybe don't go maskless to crowded bars every second night" gets framed as an 'unreasonable restriction'
The bar for care is so low, and still too much for some

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

Congress caved to Trump's authoritarian regime instead of fixing the nation's hunger & healthcare crisis. But federal workers continue to hold the line for critical public services we all depend on. Join FUN TOMORROW for a town hall discussion + next steps: actionnetwork.org/events/shutd...

The best way to support our troops this Veterans Day is to recognize that the Military Industrial Complex uses the economic and carceral drafts to send vulnerable kids to kill and destroy peoples of the Global Majority across the world, and ending imperialism means our veterans stay alive and whole.
