Screengrab of excerpt from a Truthout op-ed: "Right-wing brainwashing can only take place in a truth vacuum. As author and journalist Lewis Raven Wallace describes in The Objective, “fascist leaders thrive on an ill-informed public.” Wallace, citing long-time abolitionist leader Andrea Ritchie, notes that movement journalism’s “purpose zero” is “to challenge fascism and authoritarianism by fighting disinformation.” This terrain of journalism is explicitly anti-authoritarian. Its goal is not only speaking truth in the face of rampant fascist propaganda, but also strategically countering that propaganda, engaging and rallying readers to push back, and spreading the word about resistance so more people can join in."

"As @lewispants.bsky.social describes in @objectivejournos.bsky.social, “fascist leaders thrive on an ill-informed public.” Wallace, citing @dreanyc123.bsky.social, notes that movement journalism’s 'purpose zero' is 'to challenge fascism and authoritarianism by fighting disinformation.'"

What creates the conditions to change our minds about deep beliefs and patterns? This is the relational work of abolition, a skill we all need. Join me and @interruptcrim.bsky.social for a two-part Radical Unlearning study group to dig in! www.interruptingcriminalization.com/events/all/r...

Movement journalism can transform narratives When we accept that we are powerless, we foreclose our own radical potential. Stories can change that.

ICYMI: How can journalism create hope and shift narratives? The last of @lewispants.bsky.social's column on movement journalism offers some clarity: objectivejournalism.org/2025/12/move...

North Carolina immigration raids expected to escalate As the impacts of the raids quickly ripple outward from Charlotte, North Carolinians are mobilizing to stem enforcement operations in their communities

NEW: As immigration enforcement continues across North Carolina, communities are mobilizing--inside and outside formal organizing networks--to protect their neighbors:

‘Radical Unlearning’ explores what it takes to shift our beliefs | Xtra Magazine Lewis Raven Wallace’s new book digs into the science of personal transformation

@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

North Carolina immigration raids expected to escalate As the impacts of the raids quickly ripple outward from Charlotte, North Carolinians are mobilizing to stem enforcement operations in their communities

“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.

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.

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

Harmful feedback loops and supremacist ideologies don’t have to live rent-free in your head forever. @lewispants.bsky.social combines science-based evidence and movement-based work to show how radical unlearning is possible. @interdependentstudy.com

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!!!

The spiritual, political, and liberatory work of unlearning In a Q&A with Prism, journalist and activist Lewis Raven Wallace discussed his new book “Radical Unlearning,” a guide for breaking free from harmful ideologies

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.

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!
