One of my high school teachers taught us a variation on this, that every org's first imperative is self-preservation. Not its only imperative in his version, but its first. Stayed with me almost 50 years later.

Where are folks getting inflatable critter costumes? Are they rentable or do you have to buy? Clearly, these are essential gear at rallies, protests & marches! Post your links!

We really need to go back to the full spelling, anti-fascism.

Ages ago, before the internet, someone said, "The media doesn't tell you what to think, it tells you what to think about." Which might be relevant here.

New conspiracy fiction (not theory, for the love of god!) just dropped

Oooh, what questions were the most productive?

This right here is why cell phone conversations are so awkward & unpleasant! Land lines allowed cooperative overlap, cell phones don't! Only one party can speak at a time, which is not how millions of us converse!
