WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Us vs them was never about race or gender. It’s us vs the billionaires who profit off of our fears, sickness, and division. We were so distracted fighting each other that we didn’t notice the boiling water we were sitting in.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

The need to be “a good person” is a powerful and deep drive. As with hunger/thirst/sex, if we aren’t able to satisfy it in a normal way, we satisfy it anyway we can: eat trash, drink piss, fuck a mannequin in the woods. True moral action (demonstrable material benefit to others) is difficult, but

After blowing through Veilguard, it's incredible to listen to the @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Fireside and suddenly have Rook, @erikaishii.bsky.social, speaking.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.
between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality

Democrats should use this inflection point to shift ground – from being the party of well-off college graduates, big corporations, “never-Tumpers” like Dick Cheney and vacuous “centrism” – to an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of the vast majority of Americans.
The Democrats must become an anti-establishment party | Robert Reich
The lesson of this election is that Democrats must attack inequality – and not cede working-class voters to Trump

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Seeing a lot of sentiment that’s identical to the cope after the ‘16 election. If you think you can post and self care your way out of this, you’re dumb. Get out of the bubble bath, don’t buy a gun.

Unionize your fucking workplace. Take control of the money machine. Do whatever it takes.

There's a big difference between not having the same ideas on how to achieve a mutually held goal, and fundamentally not having the same values, but sometimes I feel like people take any friction as an excuse to abandon solidarity building

One thing I think is important to remember is that organizing and community building means talking to people, often people who do not totally align with you.

To be clear this is not about sucking it up and cozying up to people who hate you. It's more like, people are annoying, and boring, and forgetful, and stubborn. A community is not 100 best friends. It is frustrating work but annoying people deserve good things too.

this is not a popular opinion these days but people have agency. people are in control of the choices they make. no one is forced to do anything.

I said to my RA the other day “I’m sorry, I’m a mess” and she instantly replied “YOU ARE NOT A MESS, YOU ARE A GLORIOUS PHOENIX RISING FROM THE FLAMES OF A DUMPSTER FIRE” and you know what, it helped

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.
