It’d be cool if progressives didn’t point to fat people like “We can all agree this is a public policy failure…”

I’ve been watching so much of this fascism happen, knowing I’m doing what I can.

But the thing that really knocks me sideways is how we’ve really failed the kids. In education around Covid, in keeping them safe from goons, and all the rest.

It’s hard. I’m so sorry.

@governorwalz.mn.gov what are you doing? Folks in MN are days away from rent being due but 10s of thousands of people are being impacted by ICE and the Federal government. You need to push to pass a rent moratorium until ICE IS OUT of MN. Please move on this fast.

Also, the incumbency disease means that the Democratic Party in the state will smother anyone who even considers a run against him. The Commonwealth Government could be so much better!

The beauty of supporting my immigrant friends and neighbors means that I have the joy of relying on them for their help.

I'll never be able to understand someone who believes we should live in a monoculture. There's just too much beauty in what we can learn from one another.

I’ve noticed the uptick in satellite pollution since Starkink launched and it really ruins the beauty of the night sky— more than that— it negatively impacts astronomical observations and impedes discoveries. Stargazing and wonder is a human right

“You don't need to wait for nonprofit directors, leaders, or block captains, or a more organized neighborhood to give you permission,” Melvin explained. “Just get out there and do it.”

This is SO helpful in this moment of time

Tonya Harding Part 1 - You're Wrong About Sarah tells Mike the story of a world-class figure skater who worked at a mall potato restaurant. Digressions include “Sleepless in Seattle,” mall walkers, synchronized diving and the difficulty of sk...

I think the You’re Wrong About episode(s) are worth a listen. How the media (and all of us) did Tanya dirty much like most women at the time.

In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks."

The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.

“I want to sit next to you!” remains undefeated in the high praise department, from preschool story time to big group adult dinners.

Pittsburgh! Are you looking for a way to help calm the fears of our neighbors and turn that into action??

You can print and distribute this zine in the community!

Protecting our vulnerable neighbors is everything right now. We have to show them that they’re important in our community!

Helen Gym would have been so much better for everyone, especially the city’s children. The defining feature of Philadelphia & PA politics and its power players is they are all people inclined surrender to wealth and power. No courage, no vision. Summer Lee is a powerful exception to that rule.

Thanks for the peek in! Totally makes sense to me!

Do you do collaborative spreadsheets through a google situation or proton or? Just considerations for some of the needs in local organizing.

But it makes sense to me to have that kind of process!

What tool are you using to manage the incoming requests and printers claiming them, if you don't mind sharing?

So to help facilitate local ICE response, I've been connecting people through chats. The number of chats would indicate I should peace out quickly. But man, seeing people connect and show up for one another is too good to miss! People are good. 🥰

When crime #s go down every local police official tries to take credit. But, these are broad national and international trends that have little or nothing to do w local police decision making.

Just occurred to me that my hours upon hours of messaging friends through AIM really set the stage for organizing with signal.

Let's ask the NYPD to "be patient" and come back next year for more funds.

Every day ICE is grabbing people closer and closer to where I live. Every day I see people get ready to go up against their own government in ways that would have previously been unthinkable. End ICE. It has to go.

Hundreds show up tonight to protest a proposed ICE facility in Lebanon,TN.The Immigration Dept sent out info that it had purchased property here,then back tracked. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen because the Governor is in bed w/ Stephen Miller & TN is the test market for his immigration nightmare.

And how often it’s down to “individual responsibility” that will often consist of a higher utility bill, non-permanent diy solutions, or buying more stuff. Odd, that. 💸💸💸

No wonder universal energy is something you’re after!
