Good things can still happen when we—what?
Organize!

Trump’s pro-apartheid pick made clear this regime wants a return to the heyday of Jim Crow in this country.

This nomination comes days after the regime urged MAGA justices on SCOTUS to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

What we fail to reckon with and repair from our past, we repeat.

These raids are about control.

Terrorizing Black & brown Americans is part of the MAGA regime's agenda to lock in old Jim Crow hierarchies of human value.

But they should be afraid of our power.

Students, get ready for citywide walkouts if they occupy NYC: airtable.com/appdkEQROTfE...

Good riddance.

Our people-powered campaign to pressure Senators to block this white supremacist's appointment to the Office of Special Council worked!!

🧵(1/5)
Yesterday on the BX41 Select Bus in The Bronx, I witnessed one of the most aggressive fare “checks” I’ve ever seen. Four MTA cops boarded, demanding fares and IDs.

By terrorizing Black & brown immigrant communities throughout the US, ICE is making it abundantly clear to everyone that they are the modern day fugitive slave patrol.

Just like our abolitionist and civil rights ancestors, it’s on us to stand with our neighbors against the white supremacist faction

The MAGA regime has soft launched its occupation of NYC with this horrific ICE raid targeting Black and brown immigrants.

NYC students: take the pledge to walkout of school if the MAGA regime occupies NYC here: airtable.com/appdkEQROTfE...

"MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his ‘holiday’ should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs" - an actual text from MAGA nominee for an anti-discrimination role Tell the Senate: Block Paul Ingrassia (this motherf*cker) from Office of Special Counsel.

Someone with white supremacist views like Paul Ingrassia's should be as far away from power as possible, and it's on Senate to block them from being appointed to the Office of Special Counsel.

Why the No Kings Protests Matter The Trump administration has made it clear that it fears mass, nonviolent protests more than anything else.

"It’s true: MAGA is terrified of the specter of massive nonviolent protest — and for good reason. Nothing threatens their agenda more than millions of ordinary Americans mobilizing to put a face to the opposition."

Before Alaska Flooding, E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant

The MAGA regime took away climate funding from Alaska Native communities that would have bolstered their river banks and coastlines.

Then they got flooded.

Anti-DEI is pro-discrimination and pro-death of Indigenous, Black, and brown Americans.

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People

When we say that this regime has a white supremacist agenda and we have to refuse to comply with it, take us seriously because it's becoming more obvious every day

The MAGA regime is threatening a military takeover of New York. it’s time to stand up for freedom & equality. Students! Pledge to join a citywide school walkout if the regime occupies NYC

Gavin Newsom approves slavery reparations agency The California governor signed the bill five years after he created a task force to study how racist policies have affected descendants of slaves.

Big win for the repair movement in California: the people pressured Gov. Newsom to sign SB 518 into law, establishing the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery within the Civil Rights Department.

This is a major step towards real repair in CA and beyond.

Repair means respecting and restoring Indigenous sovereignty.

This Indigenous Peoples Day, take action in solidarity with the Tonawanda Seneca Nation to defeat a corporate plot to pollute Native lands for profit.

MIT is first school to reject Trump administration's agenda in exchange for funding benefits "With respect, we cannot support the proposed approach to addressing the issues facing higher education,” the Massachusetts Institute of Technology president wrote in a letter.

Great example of what it looks like to protect students' freedom to learn and refuse to comply with the regime's white supremacist agenda ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Trump Fires Black Officials From an Overwhelmingly White Administration

I.C.E. is the modern day fugitive slave patrol

What we fail to repair, we repeat.

The fascist tactics we’re witnessing in Chicago and Portland are not new; they’re old.

Just like our ancestors did before us, it's on us to organize our communities and get our political leaders to refuse to comply with the white supremacist agenda.

How Chicago is resisting Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown - video In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, the Guardian's Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone head to Chicago, where Donald Trump's Ice deployment, codename 'Operation Midway Blitz', has been met ...

Watch: The Guardian covers how the ICE deployment in Chicago has been "met by a defiant wave of sustained protests."

ICE is the modern day version of the fugitive slave patrol.

The regime is using this force among other pillars to prop up white supremacist hierarchies.

What we fail to repair, we repeat.

The persistence of authoritarian divide & conquer politics requires taking fandom organizing seriously.

@nataliegreen.bsky.social @levin.bsky.social & I shared some of the lessons we've learned bringing Andor fans into our movement for freedom from fascism & white supremacy.

"Remember this. Try."

As @glider.bsky.social once said in a presentation at A-Kon, fandom is powerful. Fandom has great economic power, for starters.

Also, many stories that have fandoms have strong political narratives. These stories can be didactic, especially science fiction.

Also, watch Andor.

Why fandom organizing is a powerful strategy for movement building As the Disney/ABC boycott took off, youth activist group Get Free mobilized its “Andor” fan community to amp up the pressure.

As the Disney/ABC boycott took off, youth activist group Get Free mobilized its “Star Wars” fan community, showing the potential of cultural organizing.

The sort of organizing we're doing here is honestly crucial right now. If your organization wants to learn more about organizing fans, ping me!

"Bucking tradition" is such a nice way of saying "making a white supremacist authoritarian power grab."

Why fandom organizing is a powerful strategy for movement building As the Disney/ABC boycott took off, youth activist group Get Free mobilized its “Andor” fan community to amp up the pressure.

"We saw an opportunity in the final season of 'Andor' and now many more people across races, backgrounds and genders have joined our ranks for truth and reparations — and have already dealt major blows to the MAGA regime’s agenda."

Fixing the Future Despite national headwinds of racism and authoritarianism, California’s Black legislators stay on task with reparations.

"How do you advance Black reparations when the federal government has fully embraced anti-Blackness and is hellbent on wiping out racial justice and Black history itself?

The answer? Just do it."
