IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD A SUPREME COURT CASE DECIDE IF YOU HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS OTHERS, YOU HAVE PRIVILEGE.

Adulthood really hit for me when I realized that doctors are only as good at their job as I am at my job

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.

If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

Four Wings Of Movement Collaboration - Leah Penniman A butterfly is drawn with four segments of its wings, each labeled RESIST, BUILD, REFORM, and HEAL. Within each winglet, examples are written, and they’re described in detail along the edges of the illustration. RESISTING oppression via direct action—think Occupy, protests, boycotts, marches, treesitting, etc. BUILDING new worlds and systems—think co-ops, community ownership models, land trusts, social networks, food hubs, organic farms, etc. REFORMING existing systems to shift power and resources—think holding elected office, advocacy, institutional leadership, etc. HEALING individual and collective trauma—think art and experience-making, storytelling, medicine-making, therapy, music, etc.

Many folks want to organize right now but aren’t sure how.

There are many ways; that’s the hard part AND the beauty of it.

This model by Leah Penniman, illustrated by Christine Tyler Hill, shows how comprehensive social change requires many strategies.

We need all of us.

This was a particularly good column on Purim and Crypto Jews from @theradr.bsky.social !

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

One thing DOGE has gutted is an effort to REFORM how the US divvies up donated organs.

Save the School of Music protest. It's a very bittersweet feeling watching these incredible musicians play. This is the talent we will be losing if Cardiff University go ahead with their shortsighted plans.

Two hands hold a small red card with white lettering against a wallet. The card reads: “I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions, or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. I do not give you permission to enter my home based on my 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door. I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4th Amendment rights. I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.” Photo by Loren Elliott for The New York Times.

Known as the red card, a resource distributed by the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center lists tips and legal rights for immigrants who might find themselves targeted by federal agents. Demand for the cards has surged since President Trump returned to office. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Do not be this adult.

Own your mistakes to the kids in your life on the regular, & talk about your own failures any time the opportunity arises. (Show them that they happen & you don’t die!!)

And, of course, teach them how to own harm when they mess up, too.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love is an action and a practice and need not be romantic.

Love fiercely, love humbly, love truthfully, love deeply. We all we got.

I remember when "What's the worst that can happen?" was a rhetorical question instead of a section of the newspaper.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.
