Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

If you want a sneak-peek of a new thing we've got in the works, come by the ECM Community Center in Lawrence tonight. @lawrencecommunitycycles is having their grand opening, with music, hot dogs, etc. (And there may or may not be a fun little lefty bookshop doing a soft launch as well. 🤫🏴)

Heads up, Toledo! Bread & Roses author Mike Trapp @ekimppart is coming to visit. Come hear tips and tales from his new book, "The Practical Guide to Building a Better World." 🏴

Join us in Asheville the weekend of September 26th-28th for ACABookfair and related shenanigans, including visits to 12 Baskets Cafe and @firestorm.coop! This is going to be a good one, and we're so stoked to attend! 🏴

Trump's Latest Anti-Trans Actions and How We Can Fight Back The message should be clear among all people of conscience: We will not cooperate with the fascist, anti-trans agenda.

If you're reeling from Trump's ongoing attacks, please check out my latest piece about what trans people are up against and how we (as in, all of us, including doctors and clinicians) can resist these assaults. Includes commentary from @dreanyc123.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social.

Consider us launched! Issue 3 now available in our shop, or at the links below.

State Board of Education looks to expand control on school library books During a meeting Thursday, the State Board of Education approved a move to give it more control over library books in schools and whether what's on the shelves

"One of our biggest concerns is that this decision isn't actually about what's best for our children's education," @laneyhawes.bsky.social said. "It is part of a political movement. It's part of an agenda."

How do you organize mutual aid in a city without running power and water? We spoke with @firestorm.bsky.social and a member of ROAR (Rural Organizing and Resilience) about grassroots organizing in the wake of hurricanes in #NorthCarolina. itsgoingdown.org/this-is-amer...

I'm thrilled to be visiting LAWRENCE, KANSAS for a book talk on December 14 at the ECM Community Center! Many thanks to @jessieduke.bsky.social of @breadrosespress.bsky.social for making this possible!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The ECM Community Center is proud and honored to host events like tonight's vigil for the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Thank you to everyone who joined us. And thank you to @lawrencekstimes.com for their ongoing coverage of our community events. 🖤

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom?

@transjournalists.org has several valuable resources:
