On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.

My paternal grandparents passed through Ellis Island in the 1930s as poor non-English speaking Eastern European (not to mention Catholic) immigrants. I’m the result of their American dream, and Mamdani represents the best of us.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

The Works of Vermin is brilliant worldbuilding

An excerpt from revolutionary letters, number eight, a poem by Diane Di Prima: try to be clear in front, what you will do if it comes to trouble if you’re going to try to split stay out of the center don’t stampede or panic others don’t waver between active and passive resistance know your limitations, bear contempt neither for yourself, nor any of your brothers // NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down.

I’m still learning. Lots of people who have been doing various forms of activism & community care work for a long time know much & I am grateful to them. & I can’t put it better than Diane Di Prima did:

“NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us
shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down”

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

We had a 94 year old and a 101 year old at the local protest!

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Don't photograph anyone else at a protest either.

A trope board for the faithful dark with queer cast, horror-fantasy, the slowest burn, hot priest, for the conclave stand, wet cat mmc x cat lady fmc, all the gothic vibes

Hello UK readers! Can I interest you in saving money on a deliciously dark, gothic, and queer fantasy? Waterstones will hook you up!

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Oh my gosh??!!

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

As my way of thanking the indie writing community for supporting me through the years, I'm offering free content/quote pulls for my birthday! Preference for BIPOC or disabled authors + SFF books on the shorter side. Turnaround will be 3 weeks - I have a baby so I can't be as fast as I used to alas 😅

Eamon wants to be beautiful and wear fab dresses, away from the threat of his da. On his 17th birthday, he gives himself the gift he’s always wanted: freedom. But running away to London for his fashion dreams isn’t the end of his troubles—it’s only the beginning.
