Friends,

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: The Theory and Practice of Resistance, Episode 3: Recruitment to High-Risk Activism https://therevolutionwillnotbetelevised.net/#episode3 is now live on the website, Peertube, and YT.

We're finding a huge number of echos in the vodcast of what is happening in the real world today, and vice-versa ... it's kind of amazing! And, TBH, scary/depressing.

Episode 3: Recruitment to High-Risk Activism

We all need to know this American History. [Gifted w. my subscription to The Washington Post]: In 1964, the Klan killed three young activists and shocked the nation

A Mississippi town still grapples with that violent civil rights history

I was 21 on 6/21/1964 when three young men were murdered for registering people to vote. That November, I would cast my first vote ever: for Lyndon Johnson.

When I joined hands with others and sang, "We Shall Overcome...Someday," I really thought it would be during my lifetime.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis bravely saves Floridians from exposure to nonpatriotic bridges" is sarcastic.

Unfortunately, #FreedomSummer seems to be a serious campaign in DeSantis's State of #Florida.

So as a friendly reminder to readers who don't live in the d--- state: there are ongoing travel advisories by Equality Florida, NAACP, Florida NOW, and other organizations declaring Florida unsafe for LGBTQIA, Black, and/or female visitors in addition to (im)migrant workers.
