If you created a Kickstarter or something equivalent, I would donate to it and I suspect many others would too. Your perspective on gun violence is so much smarter than anything else I've encountered. I don't think I've ever mourned the absence of a book like this before.

So grateful for this kind of conjunctural analysis from @thedigradio.bsky.social It is both inspiring and useful. Don't know if I could keep doing the work organizing without it.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free. - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks. - All workers get pensions.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

While there is much doom to scroll, Winston and I are doing our level best to focus on rest and relaxation this weekend.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

We all need to start using the word "coup." They're well past the point where Hitler starts dictates his Enabling Act. I talk to Very Serious People who actually believe courts telling Trump that they he is breaking the law will stop this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The dominant response to catastrophe in US culture is to focus on how we respond as individuals, to mitigate our natural stress response. In my experience, the only thing at truly helps is to fight for a better world. You can do both. Practice mindfulness *and* join a national organization.

In the days following the election, I've talked to old friends to commiserate about the outcome and made several new friends as new people flock to orgs like DSA. The surge in @bsky.app members is many things but to me it feels like part of that renewed sense of community.
