don't put so much energy into the voting system

simply not responding to a text message doesn't take much of my energy. we can have a little election trolling...as a treat

I'm not saying to respond...

 

Campaigns are at the stage where they are trying to reach out to people they believe are likely dem voters, encouraging them to early vote or make a vote plan. Make sure you are continuing to waste their time and money by remaining on their call/contact lists. This means they'll keep using campaign resources to try to get an answer from you.

I know it is tempting to text back STOP to make all the George Clooney texts stop, but try to hold the line!

I switched to Overcast for this exact reason a long time ago for podcasts and have never looked back.

I saw there is now a series for this on HBO. I don't know anything about it. Should I check it out?

but he did pose on that UAW picket line

He also used his executive powers to prevent railworkers from going on strike for having A FEW DAYS OFF...so he's a mixed bag (being charitable) when it comes to labor

@SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net I think the link for last week's mega is wrong: (should be https://hexbear.net/post/3680051)

Wasn't this the whole reason for Elon Musk buying Twitter?

The writing was on the wall that Tesla was taking major hits, and Elon wanted to take his money out without signaling to the market that there was anything wrong, and needed a place to put the money (i.e. twitter)

I don't follow them and don't know if there has been any self-reflection since 2020. But if there hasn't I would have thought they'd been so embarrassed by now they'd have logged off

 

Want to learn more about what has worked elsewhere in helping to organize for this community. There are so many non-profits/NGO's devoted to assisting our unhoused neighbors but so many of them seem largely uneffective/toothless (for many reasons).

Looking to see if there are any good reads out there about lifting up this community. thanks!

My partner has all the right political instincts and really wants to bolster their knowledge of the systems of socialism/communism and the ideologies therein.

I was initially thinking of recommending Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti as that was an entry point for me to shed any remaining lib tendencies I had.

Would love to hear what y'all would recommend!

Wanted to get a thread together to highlight aid groups that can be donated to to help Palestinian aid

~~That's the only one I know of but leaning on y'all for help to spread the word. Lots of medical aid needed so let's direct our energy toward those helping in Gaza~~

Keep em coming and I'll try to continue to add them here
