Successfully haven’t bought anything from a large corporation today. Got a couple things from my local co-op and switched out books at the library. 💕 A great goal for any day!

To empower marginalized communities and address wealth inequalities from centuries of racism and discrimination, we must champion economic democracy. By giving people a voice in the economy, we enable them to take control of their economic futures. It's time to shift from plutocracy to inclusivity.

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: EEOC admin judge Karen Ortiz resisted an order to hand over all LGBT cases for “review” and told colleagues to resist too. She knows she’ll likely to be fired.

I was inspired to do a little something, based on a comment @prisonculture.bsky.social made earlier this week, and put together this flyer with federal policy actions that happened this week. I hope people find this useful!

My experience as a Black woman never included feeling safe or protected by this government. It's actually been very much the opposite. If this is your first time feeling terrified and/targeted by those in power, you've lived a privileged life. It is what is. Now get to work.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.

Just a nice little package to help folks get handle. Breathe, fight when you can, hold onto hope.
Hi, scientists.
You're seeing what we all are:
USAID illegally blown up, 20 yr olds dumping code into the Treasury's seven-trillion-dollar payment system, Senators and House members joining protests at Treasury today...
It's a lot. It's a national crisis.
What should you do now? 🧵 🧪 1/x

Had a great afternoon at my local public library! Realized they have a die-cut machine 👌. Got a cookbook and a book on elderberry foraging and processing. Baby got some fresh board books and my partner got his book club’s new tome. #CancelCapitalism

I wonder why the NSF is handling this differently than NASA and the DOE?
Exclusive: NSF this week began to search through billions of dollars of grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway. scim.ag/3El0NZh
