I am starting to think Israel overplayed its hand with the "Amsterdam pogrom" story. Yes, the uptake among politicians was swift and strong, but the people's backlash once they realized the stories were false was incredibly damaging to Israel's credibility and that of the media.

Thank you, yes. If we don’t think about building community in ways that are intimate, social, joyous—it will get harder and harder to tear our walls down to even be able to grieve/fight together & sustain collective power. We need our anger and action. We need each other more.

This is why I always encourage people with extra money to donate to mutual aid, food pantries, teachers who need to buy supplies, bail funds, etc. These candidates absolutely do not need as much money as they raise/spend in these elections. We have to stop normalizing this.

"Why does the US ruling class actively support Israel's genocide and war crimes, even in the face of massive international condemnation? Because they see it as necessary to ensure the conditions for capital accumulation." New episode here: realprogressives.org/mnc-podcast-ep…

I think community building is the long term slow work we don't always want to acknowledge is essential, even foundational, to mass "serious" organizing work. They aren't at odds with eachother and its also a way we make "serious organizing" more approachable and less alienating.

The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment. Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are

WHAT. DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING. UNDER DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS. NEWSOM IS DOING THIS. BASS IS DOING THIS. ADAMS IS DOING THIS.

If you accept the truth that under Obama/Biden/Harris, more people — were deported — died of Covid — were killed in genocide and wars w US weapons & $ then there is no need to panic about Trump/Miller/RFK. Hold onto your folks, your values & your work. Stay the course. Calm!

Just absolute pits of despair. It's not just the crimes our governments are committing, it's that even "good" media like the The Guardian are presenting civilian victims as incidental. No, this is and has been deliberate genocide, with "defence" as a flimsy fig leaf.

In recent years, the people of Georgia have flooded the streets, standing up against police brutality and the brutal crackdown on peaceful protests. They are determined to pursue a democratic future, yet their government is blocking that path. Instead of moving towards democracy,

WE NEED AND DESERVE THIS. DON'T KEEP COVID OUT OF LITERATURE. WE SHOULD ALL REMEMBER IT WAS HERE AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY. 10/10 NO NOTES DO IT

Hi! I urgently need to evacuate my family from Sudan. We’ve managed to cover the visa fees, but I’m just 1,400 short on travel expenses, and I need it by the end of this month. Any help would be greatly appreciated and would make a huge difference for us! chuffed.org/project/evacut…

I've been able to donate to 71 GoFundMe's with the money thus far. My credit card company and GoFundMe both think I've lost my mind. But will keep going if people keep donating. There are plenty more families on these lists. Thanks to everyone that's donated.

LA has been covered in flames, the south is covered in snow, every year is the new hottest year on record, and cities have made clear that their only climate change plan is more police...our strategies, tactics, and willingness to work together have to match the urgency.

THIS is the exact kind of thing people with means and privilege need to be doing right now—if you have money, put it where your mouth and values claim to be, redistribute any kind of resource you have to people who are vulnerable, on repeat forever, because we keep us safe.

So far, this auction has already raised $21,693 for the Trans Youth Emergency Project within less than two days!! It's a real bright spot among all the horrors.
