I read Spider Robinson’s Callahan’s Place series at an impressionable age and it really shaped my view of what community can and should be.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Get your colleagues in line.

You were right to hold firm on the shutdown, and caving now with no ACA protections besides a useless show vote is not only cruel, it’s strategically idiotic.

If you don’t stop this, it’s on the whole caucus.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you're in the Bay and feeling paralyzed in the face of the oncoming ICE raids, here's a link to a stellar mobilization webinar that ran yesterday. It's incredibly grounding, practical & tactical, and will give you the guidance and resources to do what you can, where you can.

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Massive crowd at Ocean Beach in San Francisco for the human banner. Gotta be something like 5000 people.

Prepping a big box of zines and other goodies to hand out tomorrow. Ft. @meganpiont.bsky.social’s excellent work as well as my hand printed patches and stickers. Hoping to have it packed full by the end of the night!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

I called my congressman and senators. It took like 10 minutes. Everybody should be doing this, today.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
A lot of political influencers within the Atlantic/NYT orbit are very, very eager to sell us on the lie that we can get out of fascism by sacrificing trans people.

They will beat that drum even louder as the right weaponizes this tragedy.

They are liars now & they will be liars in the coming days.

Doomerism and despair got me this afternoon. This was a helpful thread.
It means that we can know both that we've "tipped over an invisible edge into an authoritarian state" & also know that we needn't tip over into despair.

I don't believe despair is a luxury; despair is an emotion that hits whether we want it to or not.

But we ALREADY KNOW how to not stay there.

Making copies of @meganpiont.bsky.social’s excellent “How to Report ICE” zine to share. I also made a one-sheet that slips inside with phone numbers for all the Bay Area rapid response lines, and a modified red card on the other side. Link below, in case these are useful to anyone else.

Something weird has been going on with my ankle lately, so I’ve been using my cane, which I have spiked using @mousefists.bsky.social’s excellent tutorial.

It’s so nice to have a mobility aid that looks cool, makes it a little less of a bummer to have to use it.

The rising tide of fascism has really made me realize the extent to which I’ve always been just a bunch of coping mechanisms in a trench coat.

And now the fascism keeps trying to take away the trench coat.
