I got to hang with @covingtonedu.bsky.social and @humrespro.bsky.social today in person! Getting to see my online friends and allies is such a gorgeous part of life. The Student Power Summit is the place to be!

Successfully haven’t bought anything from a large corporation today. Got a couple things from my local co-op and switched out books at the library. 💕 A great goal for any day!

The Cooperative Economy @cooperatives.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

To empower marginalized communities and address wealth inequalities from centuries of racism and discrimination, we must champion economic democracy. By giving people a voice in the economy, we enable them to take control of their economic futures. It's time to shift from plutocracy to inclusivity.

What I know about what is lawful: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are legal (and moral!) All students receiving a free and public education is legal (regardless of immigration status or gender identity.)

I was inspired to do a little something, based on a comment @prisonculture.bsky.social made earlier this week, and put together this flyer with federal policy actions that happened this week. I hope people find this useful!

The front page of a weekly federal government update flyer, describing the current federal budget proposal in the house of representatives, the federal agencies under attack, and updates on the price of eggs and gas.

The back page of a flyer that includes five qr codes that can be scanned to take action to protect our democracy. The actions include calling your senators and reps, protesting with indivisible, learning about issues, donating to a food bank, and a document that has a very long list of other options.

A bunch of STEM teachers who received a presidential award after years of delay, had given up thinking they’d ever get the monetary part of the award. Tonight the #NSF started their direct deposits. It’s a small thing, but it’s making me hopeful. #PAEMST

My experience as a Black woman never included feeling safe or protected by this government. It's actually been very much the opposite. If this is your first time feeling terrified and/targeted by those in power, you've lived a privileged life. It is what is. Now get to work.

Feb 28! Buy nothing, friends! I already peaced out of Amazon, quit Target, and very rarely am in Walmart. (bc rural America) Employee owned Winco, my local food co-op, and sometimes Costco! Trying not to buy things in general anymore. Let’s goooo!

A poem posted on Instagram by @joseph. fasano FOR A STUDENT WHO USED AI TO WRITE A PAPER
Now I let it fall back in the grasses.
Thear you. I know this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious on this earth.
But what are you trying to be free of?
The living? The miraculous task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

Spent the afternoon reflecting at the National WWII Museum. Read this as I entered. It’s almost like we’ve been here before…

World leaders gathered in Paris in 1919 to negotiate the treaties to end World War I. Bringing peace to a shattered world proved difficult, however. While President Wilson had envisioned a "peace without victors and vanquished" based on "national self-determination," the Treaty of Versailles also had a punitive side, stripping Germany of land, disarming the country, and imposing large reparation payments. All over Europe, democratic governments came under attack by radical movements promising solutions to crippling political and economic crises. Revolutionary upheavals inspired by communist Russia further threatened the fragile peace, as did Japan's increasingly aggressive behavior in Asia.
