people who don’t vote… don’t vote they do not write op-eds in the national paper of record about how other people shouldn’t vote either unless they are pushing an agenda that has specific goals unrelated to voting

For years, speaking and writing Tamazight was not merely an act of communication but a political stand against the Arabisation policies in North Africa. It's now one of the 110+ new languages recently added to Google Translate ⬇

@josephpillidge.bsky.social has been on the frontlines of creator equity, economic opportunities, and Black independent comics for over 3 decades now. It was an honor to speak with him about Epiphany Engine, perhaps the most ambitious project he’s been a part of to date. Watch: youtu.be/o-vGUoR90S0

I’ve been skeptical about the idea that there is an actual rightward turn underway at the NYT, and assumed their recent baffling editorial decisions were a result of the usual tepid liberal both sides-ism. Today I’m canceling my subscription.

I'm so proud to have this piece in @thenation.com. It's by journalist Mohammed Mhawish, and it's about what happened when he fled Gaza with his family. I know there's a lot going on in the news, but please, please read this. You need to know what Israel is doing. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Join For the People Leftist Library Project on August 1st for an event co-hosted by Run For Something. We’ll start by covering how public libraries work and then dive into specific ways you can get involved in strengthening and transforming them. www.mobilize.us/runforsometh...

And even if you love your public library, odds are you might be in the dark about how your local library board ...

This article contains a couple of hilarious misunderstandings ('Decompression' is a technique, not a movement) but is otherwise a fascinating insight into one of the most revered and complex comics creators of the 20th century.

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

New from me: The Supreme Court — in addition to granting Trump broad immunity — is slowly breaking the EPA, eroding its ability to write new climate rules, respond to public comments, and punish companies that pollute the air and drinking water. heatmap.news/climate/supr...

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

The level of discourse on Threads is not encouraging

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

I started my career reporting on how people were using the Internet in dictatorships, and if there's one BIG thing I learned from talking to a bunch of people who literally had served jail time for political blogging, it was "choose your battles wisely, and don't say dumb things in dumb places."

if there is one survival skill I would REALLY like everyone opposed to the fascist GOP to learn right now, it's "do not say things on the public internet that will provide authorities with useful pretenses for coming after you."

I just signed up to write postcards to get out the vote in swing states. You can, too! www.turnoutpac.org/postcards/

Postcards to Swing States - Progressive Turnout Projectwww.turnoutpac.org Voters who receive handwritten postcards are significantly more likely to vote. We proved it in 2020.

On a less sarcastic note, I agree with the anti-doomerists who are going around telling people to snap out of it. We have to decide what we believe in--not what we tell ourselves we believe in, but what we are willing to act upon.
