Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.
Now let’s get to work.

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).
After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.
No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.
Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.
Seeing some more centrist folks imply that it was solely the focus on affordability that won the race for Mamdani. Absolutely bread and butter issues are key. But it was also his moral clarity.
Economics and ethics. Prices and principles. Freeze the rent AND free Palestine.
Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC
Trump’s attacks on the University of California are escalating.
Three reasons to defend public higher ed:
1/ We’re centers of free speech
2/ We help poor and working class students build better lives
3/ We drive scientific innovations that can benefit everyone

This morning, FACULTY UNIONS led by @aaup.bsky.social sued the Trump administration over the unlawful funding cuts at Columbia. We will not let the federal government use coercion to rob us of academic freedom and critical research!
So proud of my union!

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition.
Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.
It would be extremely helpful if you could encourage people to join the Feb 19 Save Our Services day of action by clicking on go.savepublicservices.com - they can go there to get connected to an action
Counting down - 8PM ET tonight.
TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.
A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.
It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.
Shout out to @oilchange.bsky.social and other groups working inside #COP29 who are exposing the connections between the Oil & Gas industry and the ongoing #GazaGenocide. 1/2 #ClimateSky www.commondreams.org/news/fossil-...
Thank you for the kind words!
These are terrifying times, but I feel motivated and inspired by Berkeley's unhoused community, who continue to refuse to be erased. I pass by some of these encampments everyday and I'm so grateful for the work they are doing.

It's time to rebrand Defund the Police as Government Efficiency.

Next in our series on Trump’s return, Astra Taylor (@astra.bsky.social), Michael Greenberg, Coco Fusco, Verlyn Klinkenborg, Thomas Powers, and Anne Enright on tantrums, dominion, the Southern Strategy, fearmongering ads, New York’s haves and have-nots, and Candidate Shawn Fain.
The title of your book has been going through my head for days. Too real.
Our new guide for resisting Trump's agenda is here.
Eight years ago, we wrote the Indivisible Guide to organizing locally to pressure Congress and block the Trump agenda. Now, we’re offering our best advice on how everyday people can organize to stop Trump 2.0: indivisible.org/guide
In our latest, we speak with @sunaura.bsky.social about how industrial pollution produces disability not just in humans and animals, but in “injured landscapes,” and about her phenomenal new book “Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert”

Very excited to be at one of my favorite bookstores soon with my amazing sister @astra.bsky.social.
Robin D.G. Kelley absolutely brings it in this trenchant and powerful letter. Shafik will never respond, but it's important to have this indictment on the public record. She is the face of entire "elite" leadership class's spectacularly disastrous failure.

Here’s our full-throated defense of outside agitators.
The presence of community members and experienced activists in campus protests is nothing to be ashamed of.
We need to connect with and learn from others to build a better world.

What does it take to keep a movement going?
Organizers Astra Taylor (@astra.bsky.social) and Leah Hunt-Hendrix (@lhh.bsky.social) recently sat down with Aziz Rana to discuss their new book, SOLIDARITY: THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF A WORLD-CHANGING IDEA.
Listen to their conversation here:
If you are worried about our fractious state of affairs, then do I have a book for you. SOLIDARITY publishes today and it's fierce and brilliant authors @lhh.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social have something to say that you need to hear. Excerpt @TeenVogue: www.teenvogue.com/story/what-i...
First post on here to share this piece on why you should vote NO on Prop 1 if you are in CA. It's not about improving mental health care, it's about removing people without housing from sight. disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2024/03/03/i...
