When NGO movement people intro themselves as "I'm the Associate Interim Deputy Tier 3 Organizing Manager for the We Fight Hard campaign in the New Future department at Random Organization" - it tells people nothing about what you actually do - or maybe it tells them everything.

I'm only listening to @kneecapceol.bsky.social and Bob Vylan the rest of the year. (To be fair, they have both been on regular rotation for a while already). These are the artists our movements need right now.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Let this be clear: Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who assaulted federal law enforcement officers on his first day in office. ICE & CBP have nothing to do with "law and order" - they are trying to provoke conflicts to give Trump an excuse to accelerate his authoritarian agenda.

The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

Musk doesn't get how nonviolent protest works. Why are we Troublemakers? Because as Rep. John Lewis, RIP, knew: in hard times, good trouble is ESSENTIAL to all that we love.
When the world is at risk, when democracy is at risk, we're either troublemakers—or collaborators.
So: who's a Troublemaker?
