Oh god please. We need all the resistance to far right ideas we can find.

Thank absolute fuck for this, and a lot of hard work and sacrifice from the French. Arguably more important to the UK and Ireland than the US election, though that’s the next one to worry about. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Life’s tough for a whole lot of people & I try to temper my optimism for the future with the realities many of us face. Yet I still want to say that forming community that uplifts no matter how small does move the needle forward. Joy IS an act of rebellion and is fuel that helps us face adversity.

The best!

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

A week ago one of my mutuals out of nowhere sent me a super kind and encouraging note and it made my whole day. A highly recommended activity. Go give someone some encouragement. I would bet good money they need it.

This is the explicit goal of an astonishing amount of paid (and paid for!) propaganda out there. If you're feeling voting doesn't matter, maybe consider why it is so many people are spending so much money, time, effort and ad space trying to convince you not to.

If my admittedly anecdotal experience campaigning today is the trend, the Tories are absolutely and unequivocally fucked.

The thing about the march to fascism is that aside from the terror and the consequences it’s also so goddamn embarrassing

Cis white women vote racist in France, USA because they think the cause of their existential issues are people that are different looking. Most often, the real cause is their fucking husbands who can’t show up emotionally, intellectually, and patriarchal role playing.

2 things are true that often get put at odds with each other: 1) The largest problems in many folks' lives could be remedied if they developed better mindfulness, self-reflection and self-control habits. 2) None of that personal development can resolve or fully mitigate problems rooted in society.

“We have a political opportunity of a lifetime. If we coordinate our tactical vote we can push the Tories into third place & the @libdems will form the official opposition. This will change the conversation & our country for a generation.” #VoteTactically www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

How to ensure Tories finally ousted in the General Election by tactical votingwww.mirror.co.uk Britain needs a radical reset and that can only mean a Labour government - but in key marginal seats across the country, voters are being urged to form an anti-Tory alliance

This article is cool as fuck

I’ve been obsessed with the story of Arthur Baker’s forgotten remixes for Bruce Springsteen’s BORN IN THE USA & was thrilled to have the chance to do a deep dive (including a chat with Baker) for NPR: www.npr.org/2024/07/02/n...

The nearly forgotten story of the 'Born in the U.S.A.' remixeswww.npr.org In 1984, on the cusp of superstardom, Bruce Springsteen agreed to let a producer remix three songs from his upcoming album, Born in the U.S.A. 40 years later, those remixes have nearly vanished.

What area are you passionate about, what (time, $, skills) can you offer , and MOST CRITICALLY DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP 🚨🚨🚨what are the needs on the ground? There are already lots of people doing great work. They are the experts. Your job is to figure out how to be of use, not the other way around.
