I suppose this is a gentle call-in for each of us in positions of privilege to think through the very small things we can do to make places much safer for everyone else. it’s usually as simple as saying hey, I have a lot of privilege, and I want to be clear that I will use it on your behalf

this is very lovely and I adore him and also I cannot shake the frustration of knowing he is likely the only straight white male prof at his giant school who will make any effort to make his students feel seen this week despite it costing him literally nothing and probably meaning quite a lot 2/

my bf is a prof at an R1 in a red state and asked to talk through how to bring up the Cornell 7 in class this week and make clear he is someone who is in his students’ corner and we ended up brainstorming how to make clear his allyship includes not just women but any student unsafe in the USA 1/

hilarious to me when politicians are accused of pandering to the base. we’ve strayed so far from god’s light that it’s now a diss to point out that government officials are doing things that the people who elected them want them to do

people remember money hitting their accounts. I’m not saying we should refrain from pointing out broken promises, I’m saying there’s an obvious reason why preemptively calling people stupid for wanting to believe $ is incoming is not the move.

I earnestly believe that one of our strongest tools for combatting the spread of fascism is good local government that is accountable to, and delivery results for, local communities in ways that they can recognize as making their lives better.

all to say tactics and ideas MATTER, and disagreement is not only natural but deeply important. we debriefed more the next day and both agreed it kind of rocked. many caveats, esp when digging heels in as a particularly privileged person, but with all the caveats: consider digging ur heels in more

anyway, it made me think about how rarely i dig my heels in these days, especially when disagreeing with someone i generally trust and align with, bc everything seems so urgent (also bc i am an overwhelming person to argue with lol). tbh think it has been bad for my organizing and understanding. 4/
