Amilcar Cabral’s words are more relevant than ever: “Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories.”
George Jackson’s critique of liberalism’s counterinsurgency is more relevant than ever. “When any election is held it will fortify rather than destroy the credibility of the power brokers.”

A still showing Muhammad Ali standing over an opponent with a quote: “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

#LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme scientists and clinicians: This energy! Bring it each day someone tries to force you to follow the status quo, bring it each time someone tries to slow you down just because their insecure ass can't keep up. People are depending on us. Move faster! Show urgency!
RIP @sfdirewolf.bsky.social. Your fierce advocacy and powerful legacy will never be forgotten, and we won't stop fighting for everything you championed.🙏😔
There is no revolution without disabled people #DisabilityJustice

People call disabled folks “burdens,” but I’ve never met anyone more resourceful, patient, and relentless than sick and disabled people practiced at keeping each other alive.

34 disabled people got arrested in a Senate office building last week protesting Medicaid cuts. Just a reminder that there are people putting their bodies on the line to stop this murderous budget. They’re fighting for their lives and yours. Are you fighting for them?
