Gonna be chilling and answering a few questions I've been getting, like "what are the logistics of living nomadically?" and "how do I start organizing when I've never tried it?"

Change-Makers: How To Become Fearless YouTube video by Afterthoughts

Wonderful video by @afterthoughts.bsky.social about building up your own strength and experience in resistance action. The very end is a powerful call to action that is frank and emboldening.

Sam's recent output is like a warm blanket and a call to action at the same time.

Everything can be alright, if we make it alright.

If you are still figuring the WHAT you're going to do after deciding on your Rubicon, or HOW you're going to go about it - do I have the video for you.

Just watch it! You should be thinking about this in your daily life.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

I never want to be like, "fuck you, stop telling people to learn" πŸ˜‚ but we know that's not what is being said!

lmfao. Darkfry opposes learning. They coalesced from the void with all the correct opinions and a full picture of history.

It's so funny because people are constantly sharing resources and encouraging others to interact with them, we are always encouraging personal development, but the phrase "read theory" usually just increases my blood pressure.

A youtube exchange in which a commenter talks down to people who "never had to consider reading theory."

Ok sorry but the phrase "read theory" is always deployed in the most aggravating interactions. In my experience there is a solid correlation between people who use that exact phrase, and people who actually give time to a real campaign.

I might just be incensed over old organizing wounds lmao.

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

Thousands of Minnesotans gathered last night to honor Renee Nicole Good. We will never accept that a single federal agent can be judge, jury, and executioner in our streets. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis.

We’ve graduated from β€œabolish ICE is the moderate position” to β€œNuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”
