For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 10 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production. No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.

will never not be furious that my students’ learning and my work are measured by the results of meaningless, demoralizing standardized tests that could not possibly capture what is and is not happening in our schools.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Read the book Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @jphillll.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Zuck is not having a midlife crisis, he's pivoting to an open embrace of fascism. The aesthetics are secondary and primarily about his awareness of how many people can be deceived by even the worst attempts of oligarchs to pretend to be cool and normal.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

Amnesty International Investigation Concludes Israel Is Committing Genocide

“We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
