Courage is contagious.
In Kosciusko, Mississippi, a small group of 11 residents carrying signs with messages like “No Kings” and “We the People Are Tied” marched Saturday from the city hall to the James Meredith historic marker.

They were among thousands who protested the Trump administration across the state.
Mississippians Say ‘No Kings’ From Kosciusko to Gulfport
Thousands of Mississippians took to the streets in No Kings protests on Saturday, Oct. 18, from small towns to the state’s largest cities.

How many other times is Homeland Security (or other agencies in this corrupt regime) doing dirty work for capitalists?
The news that the owner of the South Shore raid building knew in advance of the raid, proactively identified non-paying units to federal authorities, and permitted/endorsed the raid fits squarely in the category of information that is essentially expected, but still horrifying.
You don't have to wait for someone else to tell you what to do or organize something.
Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

If showing up in community today felt great, imagine how cool it would be to always be working on building new worlds & resisting fascism!

Wherever you are, there’s probably projects to plug into. If there isn’t, you can get together with some friends or even just by yourself & start doing things.

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event.

Anytime there is a flood in the continental US, it is the biggest story across all social media.

Apparently, the same as not true for a catastrophe in Alaska. There was a typhoon yesterday morning and much of western Alaska is now underwater with homes with people in them just floating away.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.
We are in a recession and don't let anybody tell you any different.

Went to my favorite thrift store and the prices have doubled.
There were also more white families shopping, not just college students slumming.

More like this. More fierce inclusiveness in policy and spirit.
“In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.”
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Why would anybody trust this? We had a ceasefire this spring and Israel broke it to commit more genocide. Trump likes to put his name on "deals to end wars" that aren't real. Be serious.
Palestinians in Gaza take "a collective sigh of relief," says Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud, as US President Trump announces the first phase of the ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas.

So nice of Gov Abbot to send the TX National Guard to Chicago to help kidnap people including the asylum seekers Gov Abbot trafficked to Chicago (and DC) last year.
NEW: Here's the memo from Pete Hegseth purporting to federalize up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployment in Portland, Chicago, and elsewhere, under Title 10, section 12406. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
If he doesn't go to jail (and he should) he's going to spend the rest of his life on the conservative lecture circuit whining about how he disrupted the financial system and it was working but the elites shut him down before he could complete his work.

America should listen to Black people
And by "just" I mean, I got a pop-up today.
Funny you should say that. Discord just changed its TOS so that you have to opt out of Arbitration and can't do a class action suit. And you are forced to agree if you want to use the site.
