Raymond Williams said, "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing."
Currently reading Let This Radicalize You, and I'm really feeling this quote. Hope creates change, not despair.

I know outrage fatigue is a real thing during this all-out assault on democracy, human rights, and any progress we've made in the past several decades. Stay loud. And if you have the means, donate money to the folks filing the lawsuits.

The new U.S. Department of Education's social media feed is a train wreck of English grammar and usage errors, ignorance, and a hefty dose of hypocrisy. They sure have the best and the brightest over there now. 🙄

Not even two weeks in, and the policy of going after disabled people is moving forward apace. "Accessibility" is now included in the dreaded, undefined "DEI" category. Watch for "DEIA" coming soon to a real-life situation near you.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Great way to support Indigenous folks this week.
Four Directions is a Native-led voting rights organization that helps tribal members achieve equal ballot access. You can support their work here.
I support Voting Equality!
I just made a contribution to Four Directions, and you should too! Join me in fighting for Native American ballot access and fair elections.
