fwiw, i don’t personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk)
it’s cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

If you are a non-profit leader, please do not comply!! Remember your roots, remember your mission🌱
I know it's hard to operate on what is likely already a shoestring budget, & this may feel impossible to resist, but there are better options than funding which comes with fascist compliance attached.

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

Each of us needs to ask ourselves if we're aiming for the abolition of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and cishetereopatriarchy, or if we simply want a return to a more polite imperialism. Ask if your current actions are consistent with your aims.

I'm tired of hearing "we need to start somewhere" from people who ignore existing movements and refuse to learn from the history and veterans of the struggle.
We already started. We don't need to "start somewhere" multiple times a year because you just discovered activism.

The letters, sent by Musk staffers, come amid his push to cut up to 80 percent of the agency’s roughly 180-person staff. Let’s be clear: these grants were already awarded and are funded through bipartisan congressional appropriations. Terminating them is illegal.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
