On this International Women’s Day, I’m proud to announce that I’m on the Contract Bargaining Committee for my union! 🎉🎉🎉

Opt out tomorrow!

Please stop asking how I’m doing if you don’t like gallows humor. My survival instinct is to yuck it up in the shadow of impending doom.

Let the young people in your life know that Costco has generic planb for $5.99.

You don’t need a membership to go to the pharmacy there.

We Are Not Who They Think We Are: How Human Nature Matters In This Emergency Rebecca Solnit 04 Feb 2025 — 10 min read Welcome to the emergency--or rather Meditations in an Emergency, this newsletter, not the national emergency, which is of course very unwelcome. What's striking to me about all the things our morally and imaginatively impoverished billionaires, notably Musk and Trump, right now is: they do not expect or imagine or understand consequences. Any of them– their theory of change seems to be that they are going to do stuff and then it will be done. Like they're moving furniture around, like you and I and the trans and immigrant communities and federal workers and Canada and Mexico are just so many sofas and chairs that are going to sit where they place us. Like we're inanimate objects. Maybe everything is dead in the sad lonely worldview inside their head. Which would also explain their recalcitrance about climate and nature: if you see it as a collection of inert objects rather than an intricate living system in which what you do to any one part may affect the whole, you grant yourself more license to meddle. But today I'm here to talk about the human--and human nature, and how they misunderstand that too.

from Meditations in an Emergency, my new newsletter, day three: But I do not believe the people of this country will submit to the destruction and the attempts at dictatorship. We are not submitting now. meditations-in-an-emergency.ghost.io/we-are-not-w...

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science.

The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.

The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

These are the same picture.

Long past time for this Nazi shitstain to be [REDACTED]*

do not comply to these EOs in advance. if we fight back there will be wins and there will be losses, but if we comply there is only loss left.

Wheeeeeee! 🎉

RFK Jr. Accidentally Reveals Trump's Plan on Abortion Kennedy drops hints on mifepristone, emergency abortion, and the possibility of a national ban in his Senate confirmation hearing.

At the newsletter right now: RFK didn't just drop clues about Trump's stance on abortion medication, but abortion ‘complication’ reporting, emergency abortions, and the possibility of a national ban. (Yes, really.)

Oh my goodness!!! That’s scary. Poor kiddo! 🥺

AOC mailer: Rebecca, This is Trump’s first major loss. When we fight, we win. EXCLUSIVE: White House budget office has officially rescinded the order authorizing a federal freeze on grants, according to document obtained by The Washington Post We may not have majorities in the House and the Senate, but we DO have the power to loudly educate and mobilize against the mass looting the Trump admin is attempting against our veterans, healthcare, education, and more. Pa'lante, Alexandria

Worth remembering that it was a coup attempt--an attempt to steal Congress's powers and turn the presidency into a dictatorship--and that pushing back mattered. Thanks to everyone who raised a ruckus....

Uhhhhhhh, it’s already been well established that mifepristone is safer than Tylenol. But you know what they’re doing here, right?

How I’m managing with the first week of the trump admin

Whelp, time to have a meltdown, as a little treat. The FACE Act charges against anti-abortion protesters who invaded a clinic in 2021 have been dropped. This is really bad.

#FeelingBlessed 😂 💀

Poured my self a cup of damn fine ambition, ready to face the horrors.

You alone were bestowed with the gift of comedy ✨✨✨

Agent Cooper recommends that every day, once a day, give yourself a meltdown

Don’t plan for it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen

They never do. Oh, I’m sorry for dropping traumatizing family lore AND being hilarious! Guess I’ll see myself out, party poopers. Lol

That’s incredible! The closest I’ve gotten to that feeling is watching Paula Pell on A.P. Bio 😂

Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross 5,000 miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily & jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. 😆

And I’m putting together a special team 😆

Comfy, cosy, & ready to roundhouse a notsee into yesteryear 💖

Awwww! 💖

@jes-withone-s.bsky.social this you? 😆
