whenever you feel like you’re too small to change anything know that citizens from small towns and cities that speak up against flock and axon cameras in their communities (and sometimes get arrested for it) are fighting and sometimes succeeding against this

You have to wait until the sixth paragraph of this piece before you learn, in the New York Times reporting on the murder of THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE, that the victim was a trans man who had been abused for being trans by the in-laws who murdered him. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

I will support whichever Yiddish newspaper starts allowing these ads again: "A DARK YEAR! I am wishing all the butchers that hit my husband, and also those who organized the fight. Chinka the Butcher" Published in Lublin, Poland, 1929.
clipping of 1929 newspaper, that reads in Poland and then Yiddish:

Przeklęcie
na nowy rok žyczę tym rzežnikom, którzy pobili mego męża oraz tym którzy tę bójkę zorganizowali.
rzežniczka CHINKA

א פינסטער יאהר!

I’m seeing a lot of people hang their hopes and all their attention on the midterms. Electoral organizing matters, but full-time spectatorship won’t build the power we need. I wrote about checking in with yourself about where your attention is going and what you’re doing with it.

Resisting Total Electoral Absorption
It may be worth checking in with ourselves, from time to time, about what, if anything, our attention is cultivating.

I can’t believe that liberals would rather be against the super mid position of defunding police rather than learn the definition of defund. But here we are. With schools defunded. Social safety nets defunded. Food safety defunded. Regulatory agencies defunded. In part because you never listened.

Could you or someone you know use a free place to stay in DC for a couple months? And also love dogs?

At this point, we gotta gut DCHA and build a new public housing authority. If the city continues to let this go it'll be used as an excuse to privatize the remaining public housing stock and put people out on the streets.

D.C. landlords owe the city millions for unabated housing violations. The worst offender? DCHA, which owes $2.2 million+ for 2,500+ unresolved violations across its properties. NEW in @notusmetro.bsky.social on why, and why DOB can't collect: www.notus.org/metro/dc-hou...
