So I guess this is a piece of poetry that lives in my head.
I am so often, as I look at the world in this moment, reminded of this verse from the 5-volume Ming dynasty novel of manners “Plum in the Golden Vase” (trans Roy):
Though the preceding carriages have overturned by the thousands
The carriages that follow continue to overturn in the same way.
Though the preceding carriages have overturned by the thousands
The carriages that follow continue to overturn in the same way.
a man in a black shirt is making a funny face and says oh please not again
Alt: Tom Hardy a clean a muscular clean shaven white man with short brown hair in his 40s is in a chair wearing a black shirt saying, “oh, please not again” while reaching up and clasping head with hands.

Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?
Dylan Thomas, Do mot go gentle into that good night (most of it) & part of Delmore Schwart’s “Calmly we Walk Through this April’s Day”

There should be a rule that if you are a Known Sports Poster you can say things like “holy fucking shit” with zero context but if you are primarily a Known Politics Poster that gets you like a two day ban

I wish there were a broad coalition of orgs, groups, influential people that were pooling resources and funds. Because the enemy is unified, it is the state, the media, police forces and institutions, and they have unlimited resources. Division & not engaging the enemy is our greatest weakness

Effective committees powered the daily work of vigilance committees (an innovation led by Black abolitionists) as just one example. Poor Black women raised money for the organized arm of the Underground Railroad.

I am pretty sure you're the one who (on Twitter back in the day) mentioned Barbara Ransby's fine biography of Ella Baker (Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement). Talk about doing more with less.

for anyone interested, @hammerandhope.bsky.social ran an article on exactly this: "An organized urban wing of the railroad called vigilance committees focused on protecting, supporting, and learning from fugitives. That education went in both directions..."

The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies
Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.
