None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

‘Eyes on the Prize III: We Who Believe in Freedom Cannot Rest 1977-2015’ Review: Landmark Docuseries Remains Essential Viewing in New HBO Chapter The Million Man March, the birth of Black Lives Matter, urban renewal projects in the Bronx and the aftermath of the Los Angeles Uprising get spotlights in the six-parter.

Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better.

Anyway... ICYMI, my review:

“…no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing”

I’ll repeat what I said to Donna: Joy and pleasure are resistance in the face of those who would take away our bodily autonomy.

Amazing!

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart.

If you ask for one, they will not and do not have to provide you one.

The ALT text here is everything!

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

There’s over 600 families on this list. Choose one and send it around to your friends. That’s been working for us.

I’m tracking a few of these closely, expected some of them to be fully funded already but donations are moving slow

$25 well-spent. 25 years old and will probably go another 25.
