The comrades who keep the spreadsheets clean are invaluable. Not all of organizing is talking to people.

Or maybe she wants to be a friend, but from more of a distance?

IDK, I feel like people forget there's humans behind these accounts online and we collectively lost our ability to communicate how we feel. Ghosting sucks and IMO comes off as immature.

Forgot to add that to README.md 😅

But the name implies fast!

I get this spam from all sorts of random PACs:

Mayo, it's Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and I'm reaching out because Colin Allred just officially became the Democratic nominee to run against and defeat Ted Cruz, and I need you to donate $25 to help him and Texas Majority win.

Let me tell you why your support is so important. The race to defeat Ted Cruz doesn't just concern Texans – it concerns the future of our democracy.

Our country can't handle six more years of Ted Cruz, his attacks on reproductive freedoms, his dismantling of our fundamental voting rights, and his endless self-centered antics. He's proven time and time again that his only loyalty is to himself, not the people he's supposed to represent.

It's time to send him packing. Not only because Texans deserve so much better – but because if Colin wins, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to retain control of the Senate, which is our last line of defense against the far right.

Colin can win this – Cruz won by just 2.6% of the vote in 2018. Election experts know it, and recent polling numbers show them TIED. But he'll need a massive movement of grassroots supporters behind him to help him reach voters, pull ahead, and win.

That starts today with you, Mayo. Colin needs to raise $65,000 by midnight tonight so that he can stay on track to reach enough voters and win in November. That's why I'm personally asking: Will you donate $25 or more right now to power Colin and Texas Majority's campaign to victory and defeat Ted Cruz? With your help, we can finally give Texans the leadership they deserve and protect the future of our democracy.

CHIP IN $25 CHIP IN $50 CHIP IN $100 CHIP IN OTHER

Thank you,

Chuck Schumer

JFC it would be so easy to be a GOP campaign consultant this year... just send these quotes to every Democratic female voter and watch the race turn (the wrong kind of) red.

Is Inventing Reality a better read than Manufacturing Consent? I found Chomsky's book too dense to go through.

What can you even say at this point?

 

Just wondering if anything good is happening somewhere. Maybe some local organizing wins? Would be nice to see something positive happening.

I know DSA gets dunked on here pretty hard, so hoping we can have a constructive conversation about how to make things better.

I'm a DSA member. Plz don't Ban me...

It's a smaller chapter in the deep south. There's a mix of people including MLS, Anarchists, and some baby-leftists. No liberalism and we make fun of Democrats all the time.

What we're doing:

New member education

BDS, in particular handing out flyers with a list of companies to boycott

Attending Palestinian rallies and supporting the Palestinian rights orgs in our area

Tabling at Pride

Brake light clinics

...and we're starting a public transit campaign to improve service

What are we missing? What could we do better?

 

I love it when libs think living in places like China or Cuba is like living in a wasteland. The way some people talk about these countries you'd think these places looked like something out of Mad Max instead of thriving, prosperous nations. I'd like to write up some agit prop as a go-to resource on these countries. Examples of info I'd like to have handy:

Life expectancy

Cost of Healthcare

How much does it cost to ride an ambulance?

How much does childbirth cost?

What if I'm diabetic? What if I need therapy for mental health issues?

Crime rates, ex: number of thefts / 10000 people

Rates of people suffering from depression

Suicide rates

Etc.

I believe the average person living in China has a higher quality of life than I do in burgerland, but I don't have hard figures to prove it. Help plz?
