Why is 3.5% a Goal of No Kings III on Mar 28? #ABlueView 🧵1/3

Mass political movements succeed, according to Erica Chenoweth, when they mobilize at least 3.5% of a pop. to sustainably & *peacefully* protest.

"The historical data suggests that if 3.5% of a country ..."

I'm just saying, other countries starting to look pretty good now.

Interviewer: "What's your take on how he's framing the economy?"
Me: "It's that he's lying."

1/ Two quiet moves on how they #PlanToCheat just landed: a draft “emergency” play to rewrite election rules, & a rollback of systems that help officials see threats coming. If pulled together, chaos looks accidental & the paper trail looks “legal.” #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

Starting?

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Dear Lord, why do we have to live like this?

The secretary can go fuck himself. Every young troop in basic learns integrity, personal courage, and the need to say "no" when appropriate.

I got no idea, but for the kids might be worth a look.

🚨 Techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel is building the surveillance state of Trump’s dreams.

His company Palantir is now working with Trump’s regime to track ALL Americans using AI.

This isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening. And Thiel HATES when you talk about it. So talk about it.

This President Exposed Many of My White Christian Friends This President has been many things since descending an escalator a decade ago: a national embarrassment, a global punchline, an environmental disaster, a divider of people, a prolific murderer of the...

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability.

A nation so sexist we chose the worst man over the best woman.
Twice.
And we will spend generations paying for it with our economy, our national security, people's lives, and the planet.

I gotta be honest, steel work is hot, hard work. My people went to school to get away from it.

So Missouri put abortion back up, canceled sick leave because try try again?
And then there was Florida and it's marijuana initiative. Maybe the politicians DON'T want to let the voters and the states decide?

Figures

As one does.

Well ..... Can confirm they have very few teeth to worry about.

I lived in South Africa for six years. The concept of white *Afrikaaner* South Africans being flown to the U.S. as "refugees" is more outrageous than you can imagine. 🤯😡

Is anyone working on some ideas to counter the "other" space? I'm trying to use grok (@grok) to evaluate the fire hose of postings. Anyone have some better ideas?

When you think of money as "other people's labor", which it basically is, a lot of social institutions become very strange.

For example, did you know that you can inherit millions of hours of other people's labor? Why.

Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped. Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.
