Have you etched out the time and space to tap into the river of grief from being gridlocked in a death-denying yet utterly destructive system of oppression, exploitation, & moral injury?
Should you care to support this trend, you can ask your local bookshop (if you have one) for my book, or buy it here bookshop.org/p/books/less...
“Joy is not the opposite of grief. Grief is the opposite of indifference. Grief is an evolutionary indicator of love - the kind of great love that guides revolutionaries.” — Malkia Devich-Cyril, Grief Belongs in Social Movements. Can We Embrace It?

I am hearing Amazon just fucked up a sports broadcast. Boo!
They also worked a guy to death in a warehouse last week and then told a tearful worker who wanted to help give CPR to look away and keep working.
"It’s not that I am now able to rest because
I have done the work.
Rather, it is because
I rest, that I am able to work.”
—Rev. angel Kyodo williams
Hundreds have rallied in Tel Aviv against the Israeli government, demanding an end to war and warning against what some describe as a cycle of never-ending conflict.
This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
You know, like a democracy.
New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.
That's a huge win for people power.
AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.
Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants.
Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.
Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.
“To find a new world, maybe you have to have lost one. Maybe you have to be lost. The dance of renewal, the dance that made the world, was always danced here at the edge of things, on the brink, on the foggy coast.”
–Ursula K. Le Guin
