It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

While calls to quit bad businesses like Spotify, Meta, X etc have obvious merit, you do have to remember that these are things people use to connect with others. You are essentially asking those maybe already isolated to risk making their lives that bit lonelier on a point of principle.

The earth turns & the leaves change but our politicians don't. Efforts at the state & federal level are determined to restrict access to abortion by mail, but remember that YouAlwaysHaveOptions.com

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Trump and Vance “admitting” the criminal investigation of Bolton is coming from the White House isn’t a mistake. They want critics to understand if they cross Trump, they can be subject to criminal investigation. They want people to know that law enforcement has been politicized.

Thank you to the woman protecting DC residents from the Big Balls Gestapo.
After a protester started yelling “ICE is here” inside Rhode Island station, police told her to stop disrupting commuters and made her exit, then left themselves.

Robert Caro "The Path to Power" volume one of "The Years of Lyndon Johnson"

I've mentioned before how good a writer Caro is. He's so good that Chapter 14: The New Deal should be required reading.

Most of it is, in fact, about the run up to the New Deal.

In response, many people have started using coded language (referring to protests as “music festivals,” “community picnics,” or even “art walks”) to avoid censorship. Remember to get creative with your wording.

Banned Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize winner novel “Beloved” tells the true story of Margaret Garner who chose to kill her daughter rather than let slave owners drag her back to slavery. It was an act of love. If you can’t understand that you can’t speak about the horrors of slavery.

Palantir is making enormous profits off of genocide, surveillance, and deportation. Their warmongering, chauvinistic executives are building a fascistic surveillance state that uses AI weapons to wipe out masses of people. The people of Denver are going to kick the war profiteers out of their city.
