The book Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. The cover is orange and yellow with navy and white letters and scribbles of stars, and at the bottom there are navy silhouettes of four people holding hands and raising their hands into the air. The title and the stars are covered in resin rhinestones of the same colors, and there are also rhinestones randomly placed on the yellow and orange areas.

I am raising $ for emergency rent funds in Minnesota!

I will also give away a bedazzled copy of Let This Radicalize You by @prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, as well as a few pieces of jewelry I've made, to one person who either donates or otherwise boosts MN rent funds. ✨️

It’s day 84 of the ICE occupation of MN.

These 12 weeks have changed us forever. Minnesotans have found a new way to navigate the world- based deeply in our care for our neighbors.

Read Kelly Hayes interview with some of the dedicated organizers:

“this is a moment where some of our newly mobilized co-strugglers can learn a lot from abolitionist organizers who have waged a lot of site fights to stop jails, prisons, and detention facilities from being built over the years. And we’re clearly going to need that kind of grassroots action.”

If you want to be a little more empowered in this moment in time, read this fantastic “lessons learned” article.

Living Under a Concentration Camp Regime — and Fighting Back “Getting involved locally is critical,” says journalist Andrea Pitzer.

Thank you so much for sharing these hard earned lessons, and for this conversation too: organizingmythoughts.org/living-under...

“You don't need to wait for nonprofit directors, leaders, or block captains, or a more organized neighborhood to give you permission,” Melvin explained. “Just get out there and do it.”

This is SO helpful in this moment of time

this is a really incredible (and important) read

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

I want to shout out artist Gretchen Hasse, who drew the sketch featured in this piece. Gretchen is an old friend who wanted to pay tribute to the work rapid responders are doing. The sketch will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at Agitator Gallery in Chicago.

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

Latest from me at @truthout.org: Right now organizers both inside and outside of Rojava are calling for international solidarity as the region faces an existential threat.

I talk with folks at organizations like @defendrojava.bsky.social, the Internationalist Commune and elsewhere about how to help

Such an important episode. Thank you @mskellymhayes.bsky.social and @andreapitzer.bsky.social 🙏🏾✨

Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. A person wading a blue body of water, Lilly pads, under a starry sky, pine trees.

Just finished the last reading group for @mskellymhayes.bsky.social’s Read This When Things Fall Apart. You should read it with friends and comrades.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

This episode was both (1) very scary, and (2) a refusal to wallow in that scariness, instead centering agency, resistance and possibility - pointing both to historical struggles against similar regimes and concrete, practical actions we can take.

Mayor Mamdani Breaks His Promise to NYC Public Libraries The Struggle Against Defunding Libraries Continues...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

ooh, will be a must listen!

Living Under a Concentration Camp Regime — and Fighting Back “Getting involved locally is critical,” says journalist Andrea Pitzer.

I talked with @andreapitzer.bsky.social about why we should understand the Trump administration as a concentration camp regime, and what it means to fight back.

This is a candidate for a state seat talking about his experience being boxed in by ice vehicles and threatened.

Nothing has changed on the ground here if anything it’s expanded into the entire state now at an accelerating rate.

Nick Fuentes Wants Women in “Gulags.” Here’s Why That Matters. "Gender has always been an important throughline of fascist politics," says Shane Burley.

I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.

Really touched by this recommendation of Read This When Things Fall Apart from Makkah Abdur Salaam at Black Garnet Books in St. Paul. ❤️

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”
