Today's winner of the "Please STFU" Award is Kat Abughazaleh.

She was right to hang up! Don't talk about the facts of your federal indictment on a podcast! Or anywhere except your lawyer's office!

Sincerely,

Every Lawyer, Literally All Of Us, Heed Our Counsel And Shut The Fuck Up

If anyone wants to drop off some whistles tonight in Humboldt, I think I have enough zines for 500 more whistles! We may run low on baggies though

Therapist: May I suggest you take a break?

Me: Sure! OK! So. I want to be optimally relaxed. I'd like to maximize how refreshed I feel in the shortest amount of time possible. What's the best tactic? How do I reach peak rest? How do I win resting? Can I min/max my leisure?

Therapist: Oh no.

There’s a fascist official named Greg Bovino, a section chief for Customs and Border Protection. Folks in L.A. and Chicago know and recognize him, and we should, too. His illegal actions already caused one federal judge to haul him into a courtroom yesterday. And hoo boy. My write-up in the replies.

This, btw, is why you tell people that you're making calls, going to rallies, writing letters, making donations, organizing a phone bank, organizing mutual aid, organizing daycare or meals or pro bono lawyers for federal workers who suddenly have no income.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

"We're cooked" isn't real

There is no moment when all is lost, and the credits roll. There is no cue that we can all throw our hands up now and give up on each other. No matter how upsetting the headline, no matter how frustrating the organizing meeting, no matter how pompous and arrogant that one guy was, no matter how tired we get of this bullshit or of each other-if you're still here, feeling, thinking, and hoping for a way out of this, if you're still holding onto your values and each other, it's not over. If you are still breathing and trying, it's not over.
It's not too late, because too late is a fake idea. The people around you will always be worth fighting for, as will your community, as will your humanity.
