Today is the first day of Spring
It also marks the Persian New Year or Nowruz
An ancient tradition celebrated by Iranians of all backgrounds
Normally a time to celebrate with family and mark renewal
This year is different, but the hope for a better future endures

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

INCREDIBLE Ruling!
Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
Trans military members may continue to serve.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.
Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.
We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies
The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

The people who took in Jewish people in the holocaust and hid them were not extraordinary people who were trying to be like Jesus. They were ordinary people with a conscience who knew they had a duty to rebel against power. Anyone can be this way. Everyone should.
