An article I wrote for men about "Rape Academy."
Women already know this & I say this with full awareness of how uncomfortable it makes men: Most men are not safe to be around alone.
This is not sustainable & men must lead the change. Men, we need to talk: qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.
There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend money is so important to so many people
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️
This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.
"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:
#ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??
SIXTY FIVE SCHOOLS
FOURTEEN HOSPITALS
We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.
Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.
This one hits hard.
“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
“A letter tossed over the detention center fence said they’ve been held 290 days… haven’t had a single piece of fruit… no pain meds…”
@corecivic, folks
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
If you’re a Democrat and your position is anything less than abolishing and prosecuting Trump’s secret police, then you are complicit and enabling fascism through thine cowardice.
Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.
Every Democratic leader.
Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.
Every CEO.
Every religious leader.
If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.
Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded.
This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans.
Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.
imagine voting to fund the government after all this.
treason.
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
Who agrees? ✋
