Not going to read it in a day but Cobb (2014) _This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed_ is also essential. There's an edgelord reading about the ideological correctness of guns. But it's really about middle-class SNCC organizers negotiating their relationship with rural Black folks denied the vote.

PBS's BROTHER OUTSIDER (2013) on Bayard Rustin also terrific in this regard. Great interview and archival footage on planning for the march on Washington and everything else.

Yes, this. Tactical brilliance. In addition to SELMA (2014), the American experience episode on the sit-ins is terrific in this regard. I often show young organizers the segment on prepping for sit-ins as an example of setting a goal and planning backwards from it for everything you'll need.

People need to stop seeing the hand of Putin everywhere. Trump does what he does because he's a vain, stupid person who is gripped with megalomania and narcissism. Don't go for complicated explanations when the simple one is in front of you.
Tom, do you think it's possible that Putin himself put Trump up to this Greenland scheme simply because he knows it will destroy NATO from within?
Or is it simply Trump seeing a big island and thinking "I want it".

This is probably the most accurate description.
Someone in their mid-50s today told me that this is the first time he had thought about or been affected by politics. And that guy is actively guarding buildings and his coworkers from ICE.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Go on, fuckers. I dare you. You’ll long for water balloons in sub zero temps by the time Philly is done with you.
I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Can confirm that at least one pitch with a focus on Black ace characters (that editors loved) was given the "lack of audience" boot.
I will pass out stapled notebook sheets of handwritten stories before I let a publisher or book bans censor how queer or brown my characters are.

Publishers are feeling the chill of the book banning movement and a second Trump presidency as literary agents note a more reserved atmosphere for publishing books with LGBTQ+ characters and themes. More: https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5679251-trump-era-lgbtq-book-bans/
