Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Terrific story by @susanperabo.bsky.social
I'm proud to have a new story in this splendid issue of @literarymama.bsky.social, which left us for a brief time, but has returned just when we need it most, as we face -- as editor @ajfields.bsky.social says -- "the hard, often uncomfortable work we need to do."
NEW ISSUE: We're BACK with a beautiful January/February 2025 issue. "Enjoy this latest issue. It is both a return, and a gesture of love." @ajfields.bsky.social literarymama.com/issues/janua...
