I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

And now we are going after gay marriage in Idaho. This is Christian nationalism plain and simple. Here in America, we are not ok.

Idaho wants to gut Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage. MAGA's war on LGBTQ+ rights continues. They won't stop until love is re-criminalized. Marriage equality is under fire. 🏳️‍🌈 #DefendLove #MarriageEquality #LGBTQ #QueerRights #LoveIsLove

🧵 So many posts and articles and videos about how everyone needs to organize NOW; it's everyone's job to defend democracy; we have to set aside our differences, etc. And I agree with all of these things. What I don't see is HOW. Telling people to organize or join their local groups isn't enough. 🧵

A PRESIDENT CAN NOT make laws. declare war. decide how federal money will be spent. interpret laws. choose Cabinet members or Supreme Court Justices without Senate approval. VOTE EVERY REPUBLICAN OUT OF OFFICE IN THE MID-TERMS. tRUMP ONLY SUCCEEDS WITH THEIR HELP.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Teachers and schools need to know that we are not required to give up our kids. We do not have to open our doors to ICE or the police. Morally, obviously, but also legally. We are our students' legal guardians when they are in our care and we should be making the right call for students' safety.

What freaks me out is ICE said it wasn't them so either they are lying (which is totally possible) or there are men dressed up as ICE trying to steal kids from schools. 🤬 We already knew this but ICE are the brown coats. Iykyk. #immigration #America #Chicago #iceraid

Thinking about front office staff, who are doing everything from getting the copier unjammed to taking phone calls from parents about absences to now, apparently, being the first people to respond when ICE shows up.

Going after schoolchildren is insane! ICE has a mission. It is not to round up the kids in elementary school. Fuckers.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

Do one thing every day to help someone currently in harms way. Learn how to identify and protect neighbours from ICE agents. Stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. Wear a mask in solidarity with the disabled community. Learn about anti-Blackness and commit to doing better. Don’t let hate win.

#3 is so important. Boundaries are not rules you impose on someone else to control their behavior. Boundaries are rules we make for ourselves and share with other people so they know that while they’re allowed to behave in shitty ways, we are not obligated to stick around for it.

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.

If you are feeling helpless; join the most politically aligned group you can and get to work. If you are scared of talking to people; they need everything, even data entry. You will meet people who share you fears and loves. And you will be engaging with real power, not social media noise.

F*ck me it is very easy to give into despair at the moment. Which is when I fall back on some more of my Oma's advice - when all seems lost, keep going just to spite those you fight against. If all else fails, exist to spite someone you can't stand 😉
