Hey friends! It’s #IndigenousPeoplesDay(!) and I am raising funds for my collective, Lifted Voices. Our members are Indigenous, Black, queer and our work includes political ed, direct action education, mutual aid and support for criminalized survivors. liftedvoices.networkforgood.com/projects/17131…
What kind of work do we do? All kinds of stuff. Just today, we replaced the laptop of a disabled Black activist who needs their computer for work and education purposes. liftedvoices.networkforgood.com/projects/17131…
Recently, we talked with young people about the importance of poetry in our movements and our lives and provided free poetry books for the youth to choose from.
We’ve provided material support for homeless encampments this summer and offered criminalized survivors stipends to help weather inflation and surging prices. liftedvoices.networkforgood.com/projects/17131…
We also organized an action in August in defense of trans lives. I think about this action pretty much every day because it gave me a lot of hope.
We have some big expenses coming up, including making sure a criminalized survivor in crisis remains housed. We are committed to this person’s well being and with your support, we will ensure their needs are met. liftedvoices.networkforgood.com/projects/17131…

Gonna get high and watch Halloween.
1978 version. One of the greatest American horror films of all time.
The scene with Loomis and the nurse in the car. Donald Pleasence was actually drunk af when they filmed this scene. You’d never know. What a bad ass.

I'm glad Jon Stewart did that interview, but more than anything, I think the corporate media should be humiliated that Stewart has produced such a rare example of high profile, responsible coverage of this topic, when so many shows & publications have wholly failed on this issue.
Major publications have largely opted to feed the anti-trans panic, which has contributed to threats against doctors and the passage of laws that bar trans medical care for young people or even criminalize the parents of trans youth. They share in the blame for what is happening.
If you look at what major US publications had to say about Nazis & Italian fascists prior to WWII, it's not surprising that they are hyping up the scapegoating of this generation of mainstream fascism. This was NYT in 1922. The 1st line reads, "EVERYTHING is possible in Italy." A screenshot of a 1922 newspaper. Legible text includes a he

Today is @MayaSchenwar's last day as editor-in-chief of @truthout and I just want to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to work with one of the best editors in the business. Maya's editing has made me a better writer and her friendship has made me a better person.
Maya's leadership has made @truthout the org that it is today. Her vision, moral clarity and compassionate leadership have anchored the organization. Years ago, she led the charge to unionize TO, making us the first digital publication to form a union.
Under Maya's leadership, @truthout has not only turned out award winning journalism, but also created the best parental leave, bereavement and sick leave policies in the industry. TO has not laid anyone off during the pandemic.

These pardons are not resulting in the release of any imprisoned people and they are not expungements. No alteration of anyone’s material circumstances. Just vibes.
It was a well presented pile of nothing. The crowd went wild.
For the people who are furious in the QTs. Text: SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Yeah, so we know that

Check out my convo with @OlufemiOTaiwo about his book, Elite Capture: How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else). And don't forget to follow @MovementMemos! truthout.org/audio/confront…
.@OlufemiOTaiwo: “We have to be politically serious about how much agreement and how much alignment we're going to require in a world of a resurging far-right fascist movement across the globe.” truthout.org/audio/confront…
.@OlufemiOTaiwo: "The interactions that we have with people, the people whose perspectives are put in front of us ... are chosen by the very system of inequality and unfairness and injustice and oppression and domination that we’re rebelling against." truthout.org/audio/confront…

Someone told me yesterday it might be "too late" to confront the rise of global fascism and ecocide. Here's the thing: no matter how bad things get, billions of people will still be around for decades, at minimum, scrambling for survival and justice. That struggle matters.
I plan to spend the rest of my time, however long that may be, working to make the places I inhabit more caring and just. I plan on struggling to preserve life and dignity wherever I can and to honor people's humanity. As Will told us, while he was here:
Doing what is "good and right within our own reach" will always matter. Even in the direst and most desperate of times, and perhaps especially then. I often say possibility is worth it, but I also believe that, even when possibilities dwindle, decency is worth it.
