“Song is a vehicle for us to grieve. It’s a vehicle for us to feel rage. It’s a vehicle for us to strengthen ourselves.”…we’re not singing…because we’re actually not afraid … it is terrifying, what is happening. It’s a way to gather our courage.” www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/sin...
Minnesota anti-ICE protest goes viral as thousands sing in the streets. They have a songbook you can follow, too
The group, Singing Resistance, has mobilized thousands to use their voice — and the occasional tambourine.

My plans for Thanksgiving weekend are clear, I'm not shopping at Target, HomeDepot or Amazon 🚫🚫🚫. I'm so over corporations that back the admins policies, cave to anti-DEI pressure, let ICE terrorize our communities, and chase tax breaks while people go hungry. #WeAintBuyingIt!

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social hots the proverbial nail on the head.
This is state-sponsored media shit. Absolutely, shocking, insane dictator overreach

Empowered by the Supreme Court, tech titans appear poised to deploy their vast wealth to try to buy a government that will impose no guardrails on their already powerful industry. What could go wrong?

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social‬ writes.
