DOING THINGS ZINE SPOKANE

Trump in our back yard, people of Spokane. how do you like it?

🏳️‍⚧️ PASSPORT UPDATES 🏳️‍⚧️ We've been keeping an eye on how things play out following the recent development in Orr v. Trump... ACLU has recommended folks wait until at least 6/25 if possible before taking action re: passports, and check their FAQ (linked in our bio) for updates as they develop.

do you think the police show up *before* violent crimes occur

oh no thank you. he's a little right wing for my taste

I value earnestness and enthusiasm and willingness to act.

unity is harder for us (left grab bag) since we don't wish to control or brainwash - the desire to be free, means we can't use the tactics of the right.
we will never be in full agreement but we can act together for a goal and argue later.

material vs information as a base currency. the shift from industrial production and local management of (food, necessities) has changed.
I have not yet seen enough writing that clearly lays a path forward, that isn't mired in 20th century idiom.

but I will gladly read all such things I can find.

Collazo, Galleani, Lucy Parsons

kropotkin is welcome but must stay in the kitchen and listen in.

you think you can fix her. admit it

Paul is their little blorbo from their stories

Americanized Christianity is fanfic.

Catholics call it the "American heresy" (really!).

but it's fanfic and can be treated as such

we are in the 21st century and we need modern and future thinkers to proceed

standing on the shoulders of giants is fine but we are post industrial and need to figure out a new way of thinking and acting, the end goal of liberation is the same but the method and means have to adapt.

I don't watch that show and I'm missing your point.

is it that Dems picked right wing candidates and those candidates obstructed Dem policies that leftists would have been in favor of?

is the complaint that red areas didn't have enough centrist or leftist wins in the Senate and Congress?

I'm telling you that none of the people we are discussing right now were chosen by leftists. plenty of leftists did vote for them, but they were Dem candidates. they obstructed their own party.

so you're trying to talk to internet leftists who wanted sinema and manchin?

I'm not understanding your post, and I'm trying to understand your anger and your meaning.

I'm not siri and the robot can't help you here, please tell in plain language what you're trying to say

pretty close, they have ideas like "help and feed other people, provide medicine to the sick, be a community, care about each other, don't be xenophobic"

but there's no religion involved .

there are religious socialist groups, though, too. plenty of them.

a lot of those were also victims of voter suppression.

yes, that's how a coalition works. glad to see it understood

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible.

In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

I hope they enjoy spending some time with Alf

Libro.fm is awesome. Their team is awesome. And their audiobooks are DRM-free, which means they are *yours* forever.

we elected Patty Murray here. I think you're shouting in a different direction than you think.

manchin and sinema were Dems.

at what point does blue no matter who start and stop? local level? state level?

Send a postcard - Tell SCOTUS what you think of that decision.

If a state can cut of PP, then can cut off any provider. No reason to think that the way this country decaying that some state will decide that a Jewish hospital is "doing it wrong" and no longer eligible. Or to only fund Christian-based providers, not seculars.
A pandora's box of bullshit and evil.
