As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

I think this is related to spies/operatives whose job is to infiltrate a space and then gum up the works as much as possible by calling points of order on the smallest shit.

This panic over Biden’s viability is really a panic about the Trump presidency, yes? There’s so much, SO MUCH that can be done to fight against a second Trump term that is not hand-wringing over Biden’s debate performance and poll numbers.

I am going to try and feel less despairing by checking on my garden plot. God help the garden guy who pissed me off if he is there and tries to talk to me.

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

Yup. I really don’t get the “who else could we pick to run for President!?” It would be Harris. Who would be picking another candidate? And how would they do it?

Columbia University: Protesters arrested for seizing Hind’s Hall at Columbia University are refusing any deals unless protesters at CUNY are offered the same, and they stand in solidarity with those facing the most extreme repression in the movement.
