@lewispants.bsky.social is excited about the ways love motivates change through biochemical changes. Radical unlearning “emerges in relationships, emerges in feelings and connections of love, not just romantic love, but community love...” @xtramagazine.com

Neuroplasticity, the ability to change what and how we think, recognizes that we change physically. @lewispants.bsky.social calls the mental pathways we take to radical unlearning “desire lines.” @interdependentstudy.com

“Many of us are really scared, but we’re still showing up.”

Nov. 16 was “the day the most immigrants were arrested in a single day” in North Carolina's history. As immigration raids are expected to escalate, locals are mobilizing to protect their neighbors @tinavasquez.bsky.social reports.

What are the best conditions for people to unlearn deeply beliefs and worldviews that are harmful? @lewispants.bsky.social says the pathway is about community and relationship. @truthout.org

If you need a boost this Friday you can give to Feed Durham, a scrappy mutual aid collective working to feed people affected by the cruel SNAP shutdown. My #RadicalUnlearning book launch was a fundraiser for them and there is a dire need: www.gofundme.com/f/standingin...

I love how the people in charge can do literal rape and pillage but they love to criminally prosecute people for swearing, mocking, and throwing sandwiches. Very neat stuff.

The firing of the award-winning political staff of @teenvogue.com is going to go down as another ‘wrong side of history’ move of this era. Shame on the magazine. What a bitter disappointment.

Time to take this down...and give the award back. Vogue and Conde Nast just dissolved the politics team at Teen Vogue.

And yet you fire your whole politics staff the day before the election of 2025. That is sad and shameful.

This is absolutely absurd. I'm so sorry Lex and to your whole awesome team. Y'all are known across the industry for your amazing work. Please let us @interruptcrim.bsky.social know what we can do to support you and your colleagues - movement journalists in the belly of the beast! Much love!!!

During our authoritarian timeline, the focus shouldn’t be on how to change people’s minds. @lewispants.bsky.social says it should be on what conditions make it possible to let go of long held beliefs and ideologies and how to create them. @prismreports.org

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

GET THIS BOOK BY @interruptcrim.bsky.social's @lewispants.bsky.social!!!!

In These Times, We Need Consciousness Raising — and Radical Unlearning We must unlearn fear, individualism, and the inability to act in order to confront the threats of this moment.

Undoing the deeply internalized individualism that lives in most of us who grow up in capitalism is a massive undertaking of unlearning. @lewispants.bsky.social explains that this undertaking is indivisible from our efforts to build movements. @truthout.org

Join me in donating to Feed Durham as they continue their work to spread the culture of mutual aid and practices of real nourishment in our beautiful city. The crisis is escalating, but it is not new. At Feed Durham they have been preparing for this moment. www.gofundme.com/f/standingin...

Durham! Come through this weekend for my book launch party, an interactive Carnival of Unlearning, which will support Feed Durham, a mutual aid collective responding to the political food security crisis. www.lewispants.com for more info; or donate directly at gofundme.com/f/standinginthegap2025

Honoring my ancestors today and always with the work of unlearning and social movement, even when they would not approve. Honoring the Black feminist traditions that taught me to love as action, not as sentimental or idealized feeling. Happy Halloween! All hands on deck!

In These Times, We Need Consciousness Raising — and Radical Unlearning We must unlearn fear, individualism, and the inability to act in order to confront the threats of this moment.

My argument for radical unlearning is not about inner change preceding outward-facing action. We change in relationships, in imperfect and ongoing ways, and we have the power to create conditions for change in ourselves and others. We change through action and presence. truthout.org/articles/in-...

RADICAL UNLEARNING is an accessible exploration into how we can use trauma psychology to unravel and transform our harmful beliefs. “Give this book to everyone you love who is stuck in a heartbreaking worldview.” — @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social

This is today at 4 pm CT!

Announcing a *special feature* at the Durham launch of my book next weekend: "dunk the author" in which I will get pelted with water balloons. Those who know me know I do NOT like being cold and wet. But this book is about pushing outside our comfort zones...and I'm taking it quite literally!

Funny that you don’t hear the phrase “heckler’s veto” so much these days

How to Clean Up Copaganda — Interrupting Criminalization

New resource⚡ How to Clean Up Copaganda

We're pleased to share our new resource for journalists, communicators, and organizers responding to law enforcement disinformation.

Check out this online guide written by IC Abolition Journalism Fellow @lewispants.bsky.social, here: bit.ly/CleanUpCopag...

In yesterday's training with @interruptcrim.bsky.social, @lewispants.bsky.social illuminated how the language of "peaceful protests" is essentially copaganda, as it can throw marginalized groups under the bus, as some of us are more likely to be seen as "aggressive" or "hostile" just for existing! 👀
