Via @chescaleigh.bsky.social, who put it succinctly elsewhere:

"It’s always been interconnected."

it’s so wild when you read Black theorists all throughout the 1900s literally predicting all of this… you cannot maintain a white supremacist, patriarchal state without those same genocidal logics being visited on its own people… it’s only a matter of time.

Today is a good day to read his devastating critique of power, “A Man’s a Man for a’ that,” with its calls for universal solidarity (also powerful in its sung form): www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/mans-ma...

We all have something we can share - some of you just need to figure out what that looks like and connect with others so you can do your part.

#solidarity #liberation #resistance #justice #care

Beloveds, no matter who you are, where you are, or how you feel you have something to give this moment, movement, & resistance. Some can be in the streets but others need to do things like pray or send blessings, encouragement, or funds from bed bc that’s all their bodies or circumstances can allow.

At least 600 clergy came to MPLS in the freezing temps, dropping everything from their overwhelming jobs

including like 100 rabbis

to be there in solidarity.

The Bible commands us to care for im/migrants at least 36 times, more than any other commandment.

"Thou shalt not murder" is also a thing.

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

What does this do for women's rights?
