A successful general strike requires trauma-informed mutual aid To strike at scale and over the long-term, we need to build real trust so that we can lean on each other when the paychecks stop.

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Message to ICE: "Your time is running out. Save your soul and quit your job."

Empire of Extortion The abduction of Venezuela’s president and the plunder of its oil signal a new and dangerous phase in U.S. foreign policy.

"In its new quest for hemispheric dominance, the Trump administration has reached back to the Monroe Doctrine in its most belligerent version—a warrant for the complete repudiation of international law, in a world with no allies or equals, only vassals & foes." @alfatau.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com

"But moral principles don’t exist only to guide immediate action. They structure how we understand legitimacy, accountability, and the limits of state power."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The sooner we accept this, the better

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why

Update from Devon Lum

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was executed by a U.S. federal agent while trying to protect a woman.

That’s the headline.

If this sounds naively optimistic, don't worry, it's going to be hard, and it's going to take all of us.

One Long Year Later: It's Not Over, and We Haven't Surrendered I wrote an essay in the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election, an essay to encourage people to not give up and not assume that the Trumpists had won. It follows, after this prelude about where we a...

"They assume we're all selfish and cowardly and can be cowed into silence or submission or surrender, which is to say they seem to base their version of human nature partly on themselves and partly on their scorn for the rest of us. They're wrong." www.meditationsinanemergency.com/one-long-yea...

Minnesota, Illinois File Separate Lawsuits to Halt DHS Operations Both lawsuits allege the Trump administration is violating the states’ and cities’ rights to self-governance.

Minnesota and Illinois have filed lawsuits seeking to block Homeland Security’s latest operations, arguing that Trump’s immigration crackdowns and ICE/Border Patrol surges trample their constitutional rights to self‑governance and control over local policing.

The Cost of Staying Human Remarks from a vigil for Renee Nicole Good

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Notes on Unbearable Stupidity, January 6, 2026 Edition "A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis Trump had created over Greenland," Anne Appelbaum said the other day on the hellsite formerly known as Twitter. "Danes told me tha...

Part of the unbearable stupidity of the current administration is its feckless enthusiasm for doing things that seem like manly feats of strength to manosphere idiots and also make this country weaker...all the way down to Pete Hegseth and his belief that pushups are a top military strategy.
