Public Assemblies Strengthen Community Resistance to Rising Authoritarianism “This process invites people to be active participants in shaping the collective outcome of our people’s futures.”

Need a new tactic for organizing against fascism? I talked with Denzel Caldwell about the power and potential of organizing public assemblies. “The People’s Movement Assembly process provides a unique opportunity for people to build a democracy that has yet to be born,” Denzel explains.

Seems suspiciously like this person‘s thinking

Sharing this to my network. I’ve worked with some of John’s previous materials. I love it. I’m signed up, will do my best to complete it :-) but any value I can get is good

AND Hulk Hogan?!?

let the killing spree stop

When we crawl out of our current moment, the demand for properly-credentialed administrators who publicly defied fascist coercion is going to WAAAAY exceed the supply. You'll be able to write your own ticket.

And in the meantime you'll sleep the righteous sleep of someone who didn't bend the knee.

Interesting: I'm in a call with a person working on digital accessibility testing, and learned that there are four categories of disability for accessibility - one of which is neurodivergence. Chronic migraine is one of the diseases that fits into that category for accessibility concerns.

Well now we enter the part of the timeline where 47 killed Ozzy Osbourne to distract us from the his being all over the Epstein files.

I've really thankful for my new job at the denim lifestyle company. Hearing that Starbucks is now requiring everybody in the office 4d/week and requiring all managers, including those who live out of the region... makes me even more thankful t be where I am now. Bummed for my old coworkers though.

Plunked by his dad, no less

I never watch the MLB Home Run derby, it’s boring… but it sure was fun tonight for a Mariners fan though. Well done, Cal Raleigh (with his dad as the pitcher and kid brother as catcher) 😊

It’s here! Fits larger than expected but it’s a fun jersey.

In my experience, adoptive parents are deeply invested in the good-parent mythology , or the savior parent mythology, or similar . It’s a rough deconstruction.

Heck of a NBA summer debut for Ryan Nembhard tonight.

Yeah - what would be different with an adjusted and integrated Augustine?? At least an interesting thought experiment

Several days later, I'm still blown away by the excellent stage show and presence of The Wu-Tang Clan last weekend at Climate Pledge in Seattle. This was my first time seeing them, and it was one of the best stage shows I've seen in my many decades of concert going.

One day historians will spend a good deal of time looking at this era's media literacy, alongside the proliferation of echo chambers

I celebrated my success by pre-ordering the mashup Marshawn Lynch/Beast Mode/ @seawolves.rugby basketball jersey shop.seawolves.rugby/collections/...

I've seen a few "anyone who thinks they can stop this bill is naïve" posts this morning, and like... okay? Your point?

I don't fight based on whether or not I think I can win. I fight based on whether or not I think it's right.

Letting them coast into this horror show without a fight is WRONG.

Again today, I used @5calls.org to help frame a call on the Trump Budget Bill to my US representative
@repkimschrier.bsky.social and for the first time calling any of my Congress people, I got a staffer live on the call. Still used some of that script, but it was helpful. Call your representative.

Love it. Absolutely one of the best series of all time. Both of them are actually.

I’ll probably take this slowly, but I started rewatching Breaking Bad and will then rewatch Better Call Saul.

Gonna take this as a win: Was on a call last week with a local teammate who saw my @seawolves.rugby shirt and stopped the meeting to ask if I played rugby :-)

Naw, but now I'm a season ticket holder.. and this teammate had been to games already, and will join us next year for more.

The whole story is terrible. While I have suspicions about what may have ignited this, I'm hoping that there are solid answers that come, and a reckoning for anybody who helped the shooter plan this.

A violent ambush in Idaho leaves 2 firefighters dead and 1 injured. What to know about the attack Authorities say two firefighters were killed and another was badly injured after they were ambushed and shot while responding to a wildfire near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

It's devastating reading about the sniper / firefighter shootings in Coeur d' Alene yesterday. When I lived in the area, I mountain biked on Canfield several times a week. apnews.com/article/idah...

Good news. I was surprised it took this long for him to land this contract… He’s got a unique game that might fit some League teams.

So it begins 😭

Slow footed and no court awareness?? Being a Sonics fan sucks because I can’t even talk trash to Blazers fans right now.
