Don’t know if organizing makes sense anymore (in deep red towns at least) (hexbear.net)

I’ve shat on my local organizing group enough on here but I feel like I’m pretty safe to keep continuing to do so. They want to use GroupMe for communication and signal for “on the ground, confidential communication at protests.” I’m sort of the only one pushing back but I’m not a leader, so I have no power whatsoever. Sounds absolutely disastrous

Unfortunately I probably sound very paranoid to most in this group because lot of people do this to make themselves feel better (which you can’t really argue against).

But yeah there is nothing that resembles an organized left in 2025 and I’m starting to feel like there will never be. I’m afraid what I’m describing is happening all over the country, and how could it not be? A lot of people in my (duct-taped) org are holding out for the democrats’ hard shift left. It’s just depressing at this point

What does your org do? Is it just going to protests and having meetings or is there anything productive going on? If there isn't, hit the bricks. That's not an organization it's a group of people who like meetings. I feel like a lot of the times what passes for organizing around here could be beaten materially by like 6 people pooling some money together to make big batches of soup.to hand out. You gotta start with just focusing on helping people however possible, I'd say locally my gripe is that it stops there and any effort to politicize the people we're helping is too authoritarian or something.

Soup.to sadly does not link to delish Tongan soup recipes.

And it'd cost even more to buy and fix than hexbear dot net.
