I'd really love to see Miss Rachel and Ta-Nehisi Coates in conversation with each other.
I've been half jokingly saying to folks that I think the CIA and FBI have switched up having singular folks infiltrate movement spaces and have instead leveraged social media as well as college to generate disruptions in movement and was researching to find this article from 2011:
How The CIA Uses Social Media to Track How People Feel
In a nondescript building in Virginia, analysts are tracking millions of tweets, blog posts, and Facebook updates from around the world

I think the Internet and in particular social media has made us bad at targeted critique as well as some principled campaigns or struggles. Like shouting at someone just to shout is not an effective strategy.

I was today years old when I learned Ted Turner was behind Captain Planet? "a conservationist who became one of the foremost landowners in the U.S. . [Turner] even created the Captain Planet cartoon to educate kids about the environment." wonder what happens to all that land now?

Reading Michael Parenti's Blackshirts & Reds and reminded he was as hilarious as he was sharp. Miss him.
Am I officially an east coaster because I got my ass kicked by this flight/time difference to the bay area? Granted not sleeping probably is the bigger culprit. But damn, it's like i flew internationally and i wish iHad.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 8mo agoBREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.
30 empty seats on this united flight to Chicago because no one wants to fly there in February. Lol

Ofelia Torres' bravery in the face of injustice was beyond words — her courage became a symbol of strength at a time when even the strongest would have bowed. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. May her memory be a blessing.

Witnessing the reality of climate change in park city Utah and hearing all the wealthy people scheme ways to continue to ignore it or accept how their ski vacations will have to change in the future.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018
I’m in Utah. And the legislature passed something that is making it even harder than usual for small businesses. Bless small businesses and the role they play in nourishing us and raising awareness politically. We need them more than Amazon.
I feel like we are stuck in an era of consultants writing reports instead of those resources going towards actual service providers. I feel this on so many levels not just in the nonprofit industrial complex but also as it relates to even fed gov spending on infrastructure.
Finally reading all of The Revolution Will Not Be Funded and just forever envious of how well organized, funded conservatives are. The level of investment in ideas, media and cultural infrastructure is wild.
One way to think through the victory in Tarrant County, given that Rehmet ran in labor issues, is that the voters were offered two competing theories of solidarity and chose collective bargaining over white supremacy as their mode This shift is possible and important to aim for
