This morning, we wake up to the news that Israel has bombed Iran and that video of Senator Alex Padilla being dragged out of Noem’s news conference yesterday + so many other horrific news stories … we are going through dark days, y’all. We know you come to our instagram for a smart literary look at food and music and our environment and social justice. We know you come for the hard truths but also for hope and joy. Thank you. This community is the reason we exist. This week we re-read Timothy Snyder’s ON TYRANNY (2017) and we were reminded of just how eye opening and wise it is. Have you read it? It’s a slip of a book, one you can almost read over lunch. We highly recommend. Today, @katecbowler posted five tips from the book. We believe in this advice. Slide through …

Side A Track 4 of Democracy Forward. We love you @timmytychilders. Repost from @thebluegrasssituation • Last night Tyler Childers performed “Long Violent History” for the first time ever in front of an audience of over 18,000 people to close out his Hollywood Bowl headline debut. During the song Childers projected the words of Martin Niemöller’s poem, ‘First They Came’ on the screens of the venue. “First they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me” - “First The Came” by Pastor Martin Niemölle — 🎥 via TT / taterhater99

Ahhh! Thanks for this, @appodlachia . We love her so much. We love her words and her stories. How can anyone read The Poisonwood Bible or Demon Copperhead and feel any other way? We just sent Issue No. 11 to the printer with a story that Demon Copperhead fans are going to appreciate … Thank you for talking about these truths, @barbara.kingsolver. 🙏🏽 Repost from @appodlachia • I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Barbara Kingsolver - Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and Appalachian literary icon. She talks here about the process of writing her most recent book, Demon Copperhead, as an Appalachian novel. Full interview on my YouTube channel! #bookstagrammer #demoncopperhead

Let the dark skies come, our flags will still be flying. Over the weekend, feels like our collective horror ( and collective hope ) ramped up 10 fold. Both can exist at the same time y’all. We will not give up and we will continue to protest peacefully and safely. 🙏🏽 to @tennessee_sweet_tea for this stormy flag pic. We’re honored you fly them together.

Who’s joining a protest next Saturday, June 14? 🙋🏻♀️#wildplacesmatter #protectourparks #Repost from @nytopinion • Last year U.S. national parks registered a record number of visitors, but “Trump has proposed hacking the Park Service’s operating budget by roughly 30 percent, which would be catastrophic,” writes Ted Kersaote, who lives in Kelly, Wyo., on the eastern edge of Grand Teton National Park. The National Parks Conservation Association recently estimated that “reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service,” he writes in @nytopinion.
