February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Tonight is a full boycott of the State of the Union. If there’s one thing Trump can’t stand, it’s low ratings 😉 MoveOn and MeidasTouch announced they’ll host a “People’s State of the Union” rally at 8:30 p.m. ET near the Capitol on the National Mall.

Happy Presidents' Day

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

A lot of this addresses the vague discomfort I've often felt about conservation projects/news. Yes, the environment needs protecting, but how, exactly? Turns out the actual study, linked in this article, is accessible. I will read it.

Contrarian Calls To Action A how-to guide for making a difference for democracy.

This is the most useful thing I have read all year. It has quite a lot of suggestions even for someone like me, living in the middle of nowhere with just one neighbor and no stores. I will keep it handy and probably refer back to it every day. Read it!

“One cop we talked to—he appeared to be a lieutenant or commander—about babies being gassed said in response ‘that's too bad.’”

Lots stayed over there, too. One was my grade school math teacher, another was high school German, and the history one didn't teach history, just bragged about fighting with Rommel in Africa. My parents tried to get him fired; the school said but no, that'd be the 3rd time and he'd lose his pension!

I Visit Israel Every Summer. I’ve Never Seen Hopelessness Like This. The slaughter of Palestinians continues. Most Israelis hate the war and their government. But a tiny right-wing faction controls all.

During my last week in Israel this summer, there were seven reported suicides by active-duty soldiers.
