Being human is to understand yourself.
Humanity is the understanding of others.
Empathy is the ability to understand ourselves in the difference of others.
Or in other words, empathy is the understanding of humanity.

Dogs helping out with mutual aid are the best! 😍
From Austin to LA to Atlanta- Legends only 💙 🤍 💜
Folks in these cities made over 350 HRT harm reduction toolkits over the holidays to hand out for free to trans people who are being denied the healthcare they need.
Let’s celebrate all the volunteers who turned up to make this possible 🎊

Since folks are talking movement logistics, let me say this proudly:
@distributeaid.org is led by women. Most of our coordinator roles are staffed by women. And we pay a volunteer stipend to everyone in those roles.
Want better movement logistics? Pay women for the work they already do.

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

Something I want more people to bear in mind about Linda Tirado's injuries in 2020 is how few colleagues in journalism felt moved to aggressively support her in public after she was shot by police.
People need to learn from that now as journalists go into danger again, because that hurt her a lot.

One of the most critical skills to develop when you’re new to activism is knowing the difference between people who are teachable vs people who gleefully refuse to engage with reality.
We need to change as many minds as we can, as fast as we can—AND we have no time for minds that refuse to change.

Hey @aaron.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com tonight I'm sheltering people heading to Rojava to render aid and defend the autonomous democracy.
Brave young people who may very likely die there.
Just like with Gaza, we see what side of history you choose to be on. And it is shameful.

We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.
How stupid do they think we are?

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

Learning to apply anger productively is a valuable skill.
You can lash out at whatever's around you, or channel it into meaningful action.

What the current United States administration doesn't understand is that the fear and sadness is nothing compared to the righteous anger the average citizen feels right now.

Here in my community ICE has been setting up near a county center for social services. It’s cold out, but the local hypothermia shelter is seeing fewer clients then they expect, because even people who desperately need to come in from the cold are too scared to come near.
