Yup. The entire 16 months I’ve been on the ICE flight/TCR beat, I’ve encouraged other journos to join me, bc there are more stories here than I could possibly tell on my own. Many indy journos have. But for MSM reporters, too often they seem content to just repeat what’s already been reported.

A corollary might be: do not collude with your own oppression. Wherever possible, resist. Fighting Nazis? Don't support nazis. Fighting pollution/surveillance/drought? Don't use AI. Refuse to shrug & move on. Find your resistance & community and support each other through this historical moment.

And I hope it's clear, none of this is to denigrate or put down unions, there is no liberation without a robust and powerful labor movement. I just think folks forget that all political movements-- even and especially very powerful and successful movements-- institutionalize.

To stop rape, push back on the anti-trans laws they are using as a cover. Trans kids are not the danger. Trans adults are not the danger. There were no trans women in that Cornell fraternity. Push back on anti-trans laws and speak up about bodily autonomy and gendered violence.
