Also screaming in historian. Have anti-vaxxers ever looked at death rates from before vaccines??? They would not be against them if so. Same with antibiotics. A pure, utopian past where we lived at one with nature and used dew drops and raw milk to cure our ailments and didn't get sick never existed

NOW: Demanding justice for all those shot and killed by federal agents over the last 2 months, protesters marched from Stewart Park to the memorial of Alex Pretti.

Pretti was shot and killed by border patrol agents on January 24, 2026.

I know it's not particularly original to say that becoming a father has made me feel more strongly about kids in the news, but every story I see about this poor boy makes me want blood

β€œEvery single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."

Medgar Evers was assassinated in his own driveway while his wife and kids were inside the house. Klan member Byron De La Beckwith shot him in the back and it took 31 years to get a conviction!

You are who I love, throwing your hands up in agony or disbelief, shaking your head, arguing back, out loud or inside of yourself, holding close your incredulity which, yes, too, l love     I love

your working heart, how each of its gestures, tiny or big, stand beside my own agony, building a forest there

How β€œFuck you” becomes a love song

You are who I love, carrying the signs, packing the lunches, with the rain on your face

You at the edges and shores, in the rooms of quiet, in the rooms of shouting, in the airport terminal, at the bus depot saying β€œNo!” and each of us looking out from the gorgeous unlikelihood of our lives at all, finding ourselves here, witnesses to each other's tenderness, which, this moment, is fury, is rage, which, this moment, is another way of saying: You are who I love   You are who I love   You and you and you are who

The big lie of our age (that they somehow managed to sell to us) is that government / legislation is β€œevil”.

Government / legislation was designed to protect you from the real evil: the selfish shit that rich people will inevitably do while bribing governments and lawmakers to look the other way.

Don't shop tomorrow. If you're able, funnel some funds toward community solidarity efforts. But especially stay the fuck off amazon. We vote with our dollars; Bezos made the Melania movie with 75 million of his

I think when things are this awful it's good to stop what we normally do and say that it isn't ok and we are depleted and can't carry on with the usual. It's good for people to see that imo

I don't know how much reach this post will have but I'm looking to have a lowkey chat with someone who has visited the book burning memorial in Munich? It's for a column I write about book materiality for Zona Motel. Just looking for your impressions, nothing formal

If you're feeling powerless because you don't know how to meaningfully contribute to resistance in Minneapolis or other places, remember that money is quite often the best way. Local orgs know exactly what is needed where. Even sharing posts from locals who are recommending community orgs helps.
