Sometimes when I talk to folks here I feel like people think “organizing” is a great charismatic leader rising from the left and telling everyone what to do and then creating a mass march in the streets that is a cathartic outpouring of emotion (but accomplishes nothing).
No.
No.
Organizing *is* the work. Building community and practicing care skills are foundational to absolutely everything else, but they’re also how we change the paradigm away from authoritarianism and give people the tools to maintain democratic social structures.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Literally one of the reasons I’m skeptical of gAI is because I’m a historian and technology is one of the things I study, but also who looks at the recent history of Silicon Valley and trusts a single word they tell us
Hoverboards are the future, segways are the future, betamax, laser disc, Google glass is the future, 3d tvs are the future, curved screens are the future.
Like do we have to traipse through the whole graveyard of tech to get these people to understand just becauae you say it doesn't make it true.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

You get so much goodwill in non-Anglophone just by learning enough to introduce yourself and explain that you only know a little bit of their language. They appreciate that you made an effort.
almost every white American has picked up ~30-150 Spanish words without even trying. Jim fuckin Gaffigan can put Spanish jokes in without translating
