Why Libraries Matter in a Fascist Moment “If we lose this as a public good and as a free public service, we will have lost everything,” says Mariame Kaba.

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Alison Macrina, and Katie Clark about libraries as public infrastructure, contested political terrain, and spaces of possibility—and about what it means to fight for them in this fascistic moment.

today a comrade asked me how my week has been going. to reflect: i was a witness and first responder to a car crash on sunday, i got called a f*ggot by a lbpd detective on tuesday, and i had to convince a man i didn’t want to fist him on wednesday. so its been great.

Commentary: “Who Watches the Watchmen?” Community Resistance in Long Beach, California - UNICORN RIOT Each morning, I wake up to messages on encrypted chats alerting members of potential ICE sightings in Long Beach, where cars are going, where they came from, the make, the model.

Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward.

2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.

Be warned.

back at lbf and ready to make some magic happen while facing the horrors of this economy

A photo showing people demonstrating outside a building. Join the Fight! On Nov 14, the US District Court issued a preliminary injunction stopping Trump's illegal extortion of the UC. This legal effort was organized by ten UC campus Faculty Associations, the AAUP, AFT, UC-AFT Local 1474, AFSCME Local 3299, Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA), UPTE-CWA Local 9119, California Nurses Association/National Nurses United, UAW, UAW Local 4811, Teamsters Local 2010, and CIR-SEIU with support from 25 student associations. Join us on Tuesday, Nov 18 at 12 noon in Dickson Court just west of Murphy Hall at UCLA to build on this victory and chart the path ahead! We are just getting started! We will be joined by representatives of UC Unbowed, a campaign of UC alumni and allies who have organized a petition with over 2000 signatures calling for UC leadership to stand up for our core values. Sign the petition here. Join the UCLA Faculty Association today! uclafa.org/join

The UC Regents—the same people who cowered, while unions fought the Trump admin in court—are meeting this week at UCLA to discuss new rules to muzzle faculty speech, among other abhorrent appeasement strategies.

This TUESDAY let’s show them who we really are.

Silicon Valley’s Extortion Letter to Democrats Ex-Palantir Exec Warns Democrats to Bow Down or Lose the Future

A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zones—or “lose.”

When I challenged her, she blocked me.

Tech’s moral rot, exposed:

Massachusetts’s Millionaire Tax Didn’t Lead the Rich to Flee Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for an additional 2% tax on incomes over $1 million has provoked gloomy prophecies of elite exodus. Yet a similar policy Massachusetts passed three years ago has not caused the rich to flee and has generated significant revenue.

Six people hand out literature and hold signs, including "Mayor Lurie, Don't ConnectSF to Bigotry" and "Lurie, You're Fundraising for the Anti-Trans Agenda."

Just got back from protesting ConnectedSF's gala. This org's leader Marie Hurabiell tweeted that trans women aren't women and undocumented people are violent criminals. And Mayor Lurie was a featured guest helping her fundraise! Clearly, Lurie is not good at vetting people. 🧵

"As rent costs rise each year, increased funding is necessary to maintain assistance. Flat funding reduces ... available vouchers."
