For @bill-ayers.bsky.social, being hopeful is a politics and a choice. This is an important stance to take during these terrible times. #Resistance
Sadness, grieving, anger are all reasonable responses to the 2024 election. But @bill-ayers.bsky.social is right: we have to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and name this political moment for what it is so we can get busy in acts of repair and revolution.
"We live in a fascist dictatorship," @thenation.com's @elienyc.bsky.social says of Trump administration attacks on the judiciary. "There's not a coming constitutional crisis. We are in the constitutional crisis right now."
On this day in 1939, just months after he prevailed in a lawsuit to force the University of Missouri to accept him to its all-white law school, a young Black man named Lloyd Gaines went missing and was never seen again.
We’re always looking for ways to better promote our backlist titles. At #WI2025, our associate director of marketing @alyssahassan.bsky.social noted how we mark anniversaries by issuing new editions of them, like our Beacon Press Classics series!
"From what I can tell, Mahmoud Khalil has moral courage of the type Eugene Debs spoke about more than a century ago in a speech that he was unjustly arrested for."
just a reminder that we shouldn’t be disappearing ANY people to El Salvadoran prison camps, whether they have been convicted or even accused of crimes or not
Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.
COMING SOON THIS MAY!🌈

@bill-ayers.bsky.social has been embarrassed watching colleges and universities capitulate and call the cops on student protestors. We’ve been here before in the past, too. #Resist
Yes, the wave of EOs is overwhelming. But as @bill-ayers.bsky.social says, the noise and chaos are meant to distract us from the real work of mobilizing ourselves and energizing ourselves to stand up for freedom and democracy.
“When you see the most radical representations of freedom in the counterculture in US history, there is not a clear divide between the personal and the collective. The 2 are deeply synthesized.”—Alex Zamalin in convo with @bill-ayers.bsky.social

Republicans can't meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says The House GOP has ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid funding, to cut $880 billion in a bill to advance Trump's agenda.
The GOP funding bill is a direct attack on working people.
If Democrats won't act like a real opposition party, we need a party that will.

Please look at it this way—MuskTrump is trying to make it impossible for anyone who is not a multimillionaire to have a decent, secure life. They are also trying to break our bonds to each other so we have no one to rely on. Don’t let this happen.
