@emilylhauser.bsky.social in case you haven’t seen, I have yet another zine out! It was commissioned to be distributed during the No Kings 2 protests. It’s called “We Marched! Now What?” and is filled with stuff people can do. drive.google.com/file/d/1TJnH...

In 1485, an old-school incel put a hot smart lady named Helena Scheuberin on trial for witchcraft. Helena lawyered up, won the trial, and the locals laughed the smarmy inquisitor out of town

The lesson he took from that was “take away the right to a trial if you’re gonna accuse people of nonsense”

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

Go to the tailor early and often. Hegseth and Trump are an abomination not just to human decency, but the basics of fashion. Your clothes should fit YOU, not the person you imagine you are.

This is tough, getting tougher, it's time for all of us to level up our citizenship. Be a good person.

Read and listen to people who know what's up. Right now, I'm paying attention to Mariame Kaba and Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social -they're helpful, inspiring, practical. Also Garrett Bucks @garrettbucks.bsky.social

Know your people, trust your people, take care of your people. In any disaster (fascism is a disaster), your community relationships matter.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Folding up these little zines to hand out in my neighborhood. Thanks @meganpiont.bsky.social for making these. ICE has been kidnapping my neighbors in North Portland.

Amid Trump’s attacks on higher ed, professors need to keep standing up for our democracy | Opinion

Across the nation, there has been a groundswell of academics who have decided to speak out for their institutions — and we all must keep doing so.

I have an op-ed at @inquirer.com today.

All of us who care about democracy need to decide how we'll respond as we see our institutions, our work, and our communities being attacked.

Many of us in academia are standing up for our values and our students.

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

Usually I get annoyed by spending money on music things that don’t actually make music, but this road case I bought from Lucinda Williams for my beautiful bass makes me happy. Look how happy that bass is! See you in Ottawa, Georgia!
