This.

Newsom, Platner, and Swalwell all promise (or promised) to defeat Trump, to put an end to MAGA. Meanwhile, the most successful effort against not just MAGA, but its most violent domestic wing, was the Minnesota uprising.
The collective defense of the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs effectively ended
Stephen Miller's city-by-city campaign of ICE terror, forced Greg Bovino's retirement, precipitated Kristi Noem's firing, and forestalled if not reversed any possible national popular sentiment in favor of increased deportations. And I could not name a single "leader" of this movement. Of course, the names of Alex Pretti and Renee Good are widely known and revered, but both martyrs were absolutely indistinguishable from the thousands of other volunteers who ran into danger to protect their neighbors prior to their deaths, a fact that made their respective murders that much more powerful in the national discourse. (And Standing Rock, too,

national discourse. (And Standing Rock, too, where AOC spent time just before deciding to run for Congress, was a movement that picked up its share of celebrity participants but which did not have nationally prominent leaders.) The people who held the line against ICE and DHS, who stood up to fascist violence, who went out, again and again in the freezing cold, who delivered food to neighbors in hiding, were nurses and PTA moms. They were women, or doing "women's work," and they won.
As Ella Baker, NAACP field secretary, Southern Christian Leadership Conference organizer, and co-founder of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), often said:
"Strong people don't need strong leaders."

OMG the dumbass overlays in the latest os update (?) has basically made the default mail app unusable. Utterly foolish UI choice. How the hell are you supposed to read an email when the overlay blocks ALL THE BLOODY WORDS YOU’RE TRYING TO READ???

Screenshot of an email where the words are blocked by UI features.

Great turnout in Boston for the #MayDay rally. Bumped into lots of old friends which is always wonderful.

Big turnout of people with signs on Boston Common facing the bandstand during the May Day Rally.

Highly recommend. Enthralling so far. Dovetails wonderfully with the lessons Antonio Gramsci and Octavia Butler offer us. The world order is crumbling. A richer world is beginning.

Bright pink book cover with white lettering, that reads “The Beginning
Comes After the End
Notes on a World of Change
REBECCA SOLNIT”

Legendary woman smiling at AOC as legendary woman AOC tells (with her hand) JFK Jr to go flex himself with Kid Rock in a sauna.

On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping. HUGE coalition: maydaystrong.org #MayDay #GeneralStrike
