When I asked
how her last day went
the masked professor told me
that many students
had said kind words,
but what had mattered most,
what had made it all worth it:
was that her masked student
(her only masked student)
had told her that her class
had made them feel less alone.

As long as Spotify is taking money from ICE, they don’t need or deserve free advertising for Spotify Wrapped.

Stop using Spotify until the ICE recruitment ads stop (and be on the lookout for Fascism Wrapped in Los Angeles, Austin, and NYC): indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

If cost has kept you from picking up There Is No Place for Us (which is totally understandable), good news: the ebook is *$1.99* today—93% off!—on Kindle, B&N, Bookshop, and elsewhere.

So grateful to everyone who's been reading and sharing the book this year. It means a lot.

We've made it very easy to cut out the messy, time-consuming stuff that actually builds real relationships.

But "inconvenience is the cost of community," and if you want a village, it takes choosing people over convenience.

More insight from a scholar who studies belonging:
The price of belonging is inconvenience. Are we still willing to pay it?
Every time we choose people over convenience, we invest in community. The real question in our homes, workplaces and democracies is whether we are willing to pay that price.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Today I was briefly traumatized by an AI article.

The 2nd link on a DDGo search erroneously and purposefully claimed a person had died; an unwilling celebrity with a unique physical ailment whose death has unusual consequences.

I can't see a reason for its existence. Be careful out there

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.

Venezuela's just the first of many, and they're hoping other places will just fold instead of getting into a protracted air and ground war after this one.

And I know what you're thinking: Didn't the creation of Dubai require slaves? Yes! Good point! Noodle on that for a minute.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
