“We get more when we demand more.”
Times like these I’m reminded of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the next!)” by @deanspade.bsky.social
It can be so HARD to imagine not being dependent on systems we don’t control. But we can continue to demand more, and better, together.

A few things while everything feels (is) so out of control— 1) Know your neighbors and get organized. This means building meaningful relationship where you can strategize together if. 2) Leverage your shared interests and needs to get what you want. Like no increase in rent for the whole building 👏🏼

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different.

In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that.
