i agree, but what i see in DSA, where that writer is coming from, is that general political education is treated as something you do a little to familiarize yourself with things/people, maybe, and then you do not return once you find the people you like

i worry about this idea, for leaving political education open/undefined as a process, as just enculturation

ICE are currently chasing and kidnapping immigrants in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a town that is at this point probably most famous for being the starting point for Ishmael’s journey in the great American novel Moby-Dick, which portrays a multiracial crew including many immigrants, working together

As opposition to data centers grows across the United States, the tech industry is "pulling from tried-and-tested playbooks" to bypass it, write Dean Jackson and Samantha Totoni—from nonprofit front groups to super PACs to tightly managed public forums.

Great call to arms by @cnewf.bsky.social, following the tactic of Jed Esty's "Future of Decline" by looking to Stuart Hall & the New Left, & urging us to forego "private agency within our universities" in favor of "collective agency by running them."

Congress caused a judicial vacancy crisis in DC by repeatedly failing to confirm judges for DC courts. Instead of fixing it, today it will vote on a bill to eliminate the little say DC gets on selecting the judges in our local courts. The bill would let President Trump handpick DC judges instead.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

Reps @raskin.house.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social @eleanornorton.bsky.social and Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov have introduced resolutions to end the emergency period in DC — and end Trump's power here. We need Congress to pass these bills as swiftly as possible. FreeDCproject.org/termination
