A Black mom of 2 is on the verge of being evicted and needs help. She was laid off a while ago, was able to get a job recently, but with all the damage done while she wasn’t working she’s unable to catch up. Let’s each give $1 to reach her goal. We’ve helped 258 people, let’s keep going.
instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options.
For example, check out some of these writers:
We started with one question: How much wealth is in Congress?
After months of reporting we have a new website tracking how members of Congress get, and stay, rich.

Wow! Great little forum! I wish you well, and will probably be stopping in.
Such a small, small world of corrupt and nasty people ruling us.
The common 🧵 in every single election, from Susan Crawford in Wisconsin to Zohran Mamdani in NYC to Taylor Rehmet in Texas, is that a clear majority of voters don't like evil, hate, incompetence, & far right authoritarianism. The policy details are election-specific, but that's the hummable tune.
when we say complex processes of repression & violence are highly contingent & dynamic, we mean they depend on active choices people make—nothing is inevitable.
we know from lots of research that people can interrupt violent processes by making choices that reflect their values. this is an example.
Thanks for sharing!

Not small at all. Or, small, but in the lies the best of humanity.
Took the morning to go see these monks passing through central NC. This has been such an incredibly powerful and healing witness in the communities along the way. Very grateful for this.
I am grateful for your gentle, authentic presence on here.
These are great.
Light purple book cover with black handwritten text that reads Climbing - Hil Malatino
predictably odd + bad times for a book announcement, but nevertheless this little book about climbing (and grief and time and mortality and obsession and work and trust and fun) will be in the world in a few months, thanks to @dukepress.bsky.social
available for pre-order now!
Thank you!!!
Can you post a link for pre-orders? Having trouble finding it. Thanks, and excited to read!

I’ve been shocked by the simplicity. it’s binary. you see it, you run out of your home. they are mistaken to underestimate that. there’s no thought. it’s a primal human urge to protect your neighbors and it’s not easy to extinguish in us normies.
I have a small, specific, and, I think, important role in this moment, and I take it very seriously. I do my best to cover at Law Dork what's happening and how people are responding in this moment — largely, though not exclusively, through the lens of our legal system. www.lawdork.com

The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.’”
