Like many of you, I’m in shock and boiling with fury but also feeling helpless.
Repost the truth on social media, if that’s all the energy you have.
If you have dollars so spare, help our Minnesota families and friends.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.
This is a lesson I learned as a preteen, listening to Soviet refuseniks talk about how they survived until they were allowed to leave the country. You make art, you make joy, and you fight. Because those three things are the same thing.
if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord.
You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

"...alone, we are sure to lose. Together, we have a chance.
Those in power know this. They know how much power we can wield if we band together. So they will keep trying to divide us."
They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.
Once again, no.
The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."
Thread of remote ways to support Minneapolis

Well let's make them not top Democrats then
This is important. Things are FUBAR, but the peeling off is beginning to happen.
DO NOT let Trump re-polarize again around CBP murders.
The FBI has taken over the investigations into the shooting in Minneapolis and tonight’s shooting in Portland. How many more?!?!?
Thousands of glaciers across Canada could be saved from total extinction by the end of the century if humanity can bend the curve on global warming.
Tukwila, Renton, Kent, likely Auburn folks: the GO NOW evacuation order has been issued.
If you're still doing this, I'd love a poem!
The persecution of huge numbers of brown people and even the mass deportations will not create the white country of far-right fantasy. It’s coupled with an attack on reproductive rights that is sometimes openly intended to make white women have more babies....

How did I never listen to Kiki Rockwell before this week???
I can't wait to read this!

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...
Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.
To ICE: "You can repent"
The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).
I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
Is it good politics to ask the Supreme Court if you can continue starving people?
Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.
