The kind of healing that is possible when there's no one else to take care of except you is painful but so worth it. To finally have space to confront that pain, amid collapse, a genocide. 2 years sober. Feeling it all. Solidarity to those doing deep healing work. That is also world building work.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I hope Ezra Klein will restrain himself from saying Bari Weiss is doing journalism the right way

Re California, "This campaign of genocide was carried out not by the military or police, but by a willing, participating public."

Whether ICE are seen as legit state agents or groups of unlawful "thugs," the settler state builds upon centuries of violent precedent, and they know it. Why don't you?

"Unprecedented." "This isn't us."

Please read a book. Try Joanne Barker's 2021 "Red Scare: the State's Indigenous Terrorist," to start. On pages 28-29:

"In 1703..the Massachusetts Bay Colony offered.. between 250 and 300 pounds for Indian scalps." (1/4)

Journalist Plestia Alaqad Is Publishing Her Diaries From Gaza: "A Dystopian World" "Every time I read it, I just feel disbelief — is this real? Did I really live that? Are there still thousands of people in Gaza living that?”

“It often feels like it's a dystopian world that we live in, and the only thing that is real is Gaza and what's happening there.”

Politics editor @leximcmenamin.com speaks with 23-year-old journalist Plestia Alaqad about her book, leaving Gaza and the impact all of it has on young people.

Please help my dear friend

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books Letters to Activists in Crisis

Every day, I find myself wishing that our new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Organizers in Crisis, was already out in the world, because I think it could really help people right now. Preorders really make all the difference in terms of helping a book become widely available.

We Were Adopted Thanks to China’s Overpopulation Policies. These Are Our Stories. 160,000 Chinese children were adopted by families across the world since this policy went into effect in 1992.

"As a Chinese transnational adoptee, there is no single correct way to be, or feel. Our experiences are complex, fluid, and often shaped by the openness — or rigidity — of our adoptive families."

This project shares the stories of young people whose lives were shaped by China's overpopulation laws.

A good lesson from those seeking the missing 43 students from Ayotzinapa: "vivos se los llevaron, vivos los queremos"

Every single person removed to El SalvAuschwitz needs to be brought back, alive.

Be weary of anyone who claims to be a fascism expert in the Americas but is incredulous about the Bukele regime in El Salvador.

Not recognizing the facism of Nayib Bukele’s admin in El Salvador shows how white leftist journos ignore international solidarity.

i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

Octavia Butler said, “My characters who are often Black and female behave as though they have no limitations.

They don’t run around saying ‘look at me! I’m Black, I’m female, I have no limitations.’ They just behave this way and do what they need to do.” #BlackBookSky

"We owe it to trans youth and communities to push back with all our might, to refuse to deny care, to challenge administrators who try to shut it down, to support providers under attack, and to contribute to mutual aid efforts that will ensure continuity of care." @dreanyc123.bsky.social

Your local government isn't ready to evacuate disabled people California's fire-prone counties left people to die. Other communities don't have to.

Harrowing but helpful: When it comes to disasters like the Los Angeles fires and evacuations, “The public needs to understand that whatever planning & services are in place that do exist have almost certainly not considered a myriad of disabled people’s needs.”

Trump plans large immigration raid in Chicago on Tuesday – report Administration to send 100 to 200 officers to city on day two of new presidency, Wall Street Journal reports

What the Americans did to gain control of this land, they do to keep it. Guns, aggression, relocations/deportation.

Building mutual aid projects now helps meet the immediate needs in our communities and prepare us for the coming disasters. We can’t rely on the government and non-profits—we have to make and take what our communities need to survive.
