When the first amendment meets pepper spray to the face....

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

Go to the tailor early and often. Hegseth and Trump are an abomination not just to human decency, but the basics of fashion. Your clothes should fit YOU, not the person you imagine you are.

This is tough, getting tougher, it's time for all of us to level up our citizenship. Be a good person.

Read and listen to people who know what's up. Right now, I'm paying attention to Mariame Kaba and Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social -they're helpful, inspiring, practical. Also Garrett Bucks @garrettbucks.bsky.social

Know your people, trust your people, take care of your people. In any disaster (fascism is a disaster), your community relationships matter.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Folding up these little zines to hand out in my neighborhood. Thanks @meganpiont.bsky.social for making these. ICE has been kidnapping my neighbors in North Portland.

Amid Trump’s attacks on higher ed, professors need to keep standing up for our democracy | Opinion Across the nation, there has been a groundswell of academics who have decided to speak out for their institutions — and we all must keep doing so.

I have an op-ed at @inquirer.com today.

All of us who care about democracy need to decide how we'll respond as we see our institutions, our work, and our communities being attacked.

Many of us in academia are standing up for our values and our students.

Will there be merch?

Just started the bear and was reminded of your mention. Can’t wait to get to that one. It is definitely the World Series!

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

And the latest “heckuva job brownie” award goes to…

Usually I get annoyed by spending money on music things that don’t actually make music, but this road case I bought from Lucinda Williams for my beautiful bass makes me happy. Look how happy that bass is! See you in Ottawa, Georgia!

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

This is great!!

Also disenfranchisement from the sentencing project

Same with Grammys. Some people don’t even do their own voting

Hopefully the shirt and the jeans and the hat are a sign that the presidents involved feel like they have to show that he is ok. But it’s unsettling in a weird way that they let him dress this way but he is not free

No prisoner in any prison anywhere (okay maybe in Norway) has ever been allowed to wear a hat or a plaid shirt. While this might be a positive development, this is weird

Is this a generational expectation? Geez. As if making the thing and giving it to the world isn’t enough

West Ada teacher asked to remove signs, challenges decision Sarah Inama was told she needed to remove the signs, including "everyone is welcome here," because her administration said it's not something everyone agrees on.

Update on Idaho teacher Sarah Inama who is holding firmly for her students, and for all of us. Who would have guessed classeroom posters saying “everyone is welcome here” would make a teacher or school liable for “punishment.” Perhaps we shoild have . . .

People who wanted tax cuts bad enough to ignore all the reddest flags sour on a chaotic narcissist leading a sketchy coalition of people who hate other people

“We will care for each other. In fact, that’s all we will do. We will love and shout and raise a fuss and get arrested together and when we’re asked by a new voice, “is there room for me at the table as well?” we will be prepared with the same answer.”
