@kcarterjackson.bsky.social preached the joy of resistance as only she can when teaching us about the abolitionist movement, & Cathy Harris spoke about her service to the Merit Systems Protection Board prior to her illegal firing. And so many amazing people came out to listen, learn, and organize!

Let me say: my pal and @thisdaypod.com cohost @kcarterjackson.bsky.social wrote a fantastic book all about how resistance and refusal has taken many, often intermingling, approaches, including violence… “Non-violent” vs “violent” protest is just not a useful binary www.sealpress.com/titles/kelli...
