“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”
From books to film to performance art, the government has always tried to censor artists' expression. We'll always be here to fight back.
Every day this woman gives me hope.
Trans kids' rights aren't "complicated." They're not "nuanced." Protect trans kids, unconditionally. Full stop.

A "dumper" in the tomatoes, holds the metal platform used to climb onto the trailer. Every time a trailer fills and moves, he carries the platform to the next one & hops back on to keep dumping buckets. He earns $158 a day, regardless of how many buckets he dumps. #WeFeedYou
What does it really take to make a difference right now—without burning out or losing yourself in chaos? Today, I’m sharing strategy for sustainable impact, drawn from years of coaching organizers & changemakers who’ve created impact at some of the hardest moments in history. youtu.be/RVDgE_UJUiA
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, most remembered for playing Theo Huxtable on ‘The Cosby Show,’ passed away Sunday. But his legacy spans much more than one character. I wrote about how I’ll remember him best. www.theringer.com/2025/07/21/t...
This is 100% correct, and he's right to say it.
So just to sum up where we are this Monday: Nurses all over tiktok are looking at Trump's symptoms and saying he has obvious congestive heart failure. Trump is paranoically pumping out rage tweets as the Epstein connections grow deeper and wider. Trump traded CECOT detainees to Venezuela after

If you’re looking for what @npr.org and @pbs.org stations to donate to, this is the best website I have seen and it gives you the ability to choose how much federal funding is their total revenue if they are an HBCU if they are native, if they are rural the licensing type and the state it is amazing
Read this thread. These are human beings, most of whom followed all the rules in seeking protection and legal status inside the US. Hardworking people with families who suddenly found themselves detained and then removed to CECOT. Gut wrenching.
Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters. Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me. Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!
Thank you @charlotteclymer.bsky.social You are a gift.
This is absolutely brilliant and you should drop everything and go read it right now.

Anywho, as I tell the young people in my life whom I love deeply, this is your time to create beautiful works of art, to throw the most fun parties you can for no money, and to fight like hell for a future worthy of you. This is NOT a time to retreat into yourself and to forgo the world.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

“…he presented his Texas ID, Social Security card and a wallet-sized birth certificate. The agents refused to believe he was a citizen and took him into custody. “I told them we had rights and asked to make a phone call. But they told us, 'You don't have rights to anything'," Galicia told the paper”
PALANTIR PROTESTS TODAY. NYC — 45 W 18th St @ 9am Denver — State Capitol @ 2pm Palo Alto — 100 Hamilton Ave @ 2pm We’re taking the fight directly to the company that powers ICE by protesting at their offices. Let’s go.
I miss you. I’ll always miss you. We’ll always miss you. It’s some serious bullshit you’re not here @royanablackhubbell
Have a beautiful trip!!
BIG UPDATE with new court ruling! Judge sided with the United Farm workers: it’s not legal for roving patrols to terrorize hardworking people without cause, whether it’s in the fields or a home depot parking lot. Watch the video to learn more.
When you are feeling weary or despairing, remember that there are people in every corner of the world taking life affirming action in the direction of more justice. The fact that you can't see it all is a comfort because it means there is an excess of positive actions happening all at once. #onwards

You need to check out this whole thread on what happened yesterday with ICE at this farm. It’s outrageous and inspiring at the same time. Protestors waiting out the expiration time for the warrant so people would make it home.
I don’t understand why every major news outlet isn’t covering what happened in Camarillo yesterday.
May they always have the day the deserve and may your beautiful family continue to grow and thrive.
@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social for you, above ❤️
This first-person account of bring swept away by the Texas floodwaters is harrowing & an incredible piece of writing.
We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

I have no more capacity to organize but one very useful thing that people could do in their individual states is to track all of the "DHS Gestapo recruitment fairs" over the next few years and then organize direct actions at each fair. Show up with posters telling folks not to sign up etc...
