I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant.

“I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.

So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic! I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it. There might be more. I have ideas for more. You can download a printable version for free here: enchantedpencil.itch.io/activism-com...

Title: Watch your language! Keeping morale up in the fight against facism.

Character A: That protest wasn't enough! We need to do more!
B: Stop! This kind of talk actually hurts our cause. I know what you're trying to do. You think if you say:
A: We need to do more than we did!
Group, looking motivated: Ok! Let's do more!
or,
A: That action made a big difference.
Group, walking away: Well, we did it! Everyone go home.

B: People are the most motivated when they can see their actions causing an immediate change and positive effect. And they won't want to repeat actions they think didn't have a big effect.
A simple graph shows a stick figure getting demotivated when the time to reach their result is too long.
So this is the real effect of your words:
A: We need to do more than we did!
Group, concerned: That didn't do anything? Maybe my actions don't really matter...
A: That action made a big difference.
Group, celebrating: Maybe my actions really matter! What should we do next?

The fascists WIN by making us think we are POWERLESS.

It's natural to think that the perfect event, if BIG and STRONG enough, will solve everything overnight.

Panel of a simple illustration of an X-Wing from Star Wars flying away from the exploding Death Star.

But this is a myth. One person alone has a small skillset, a small sphere of influence, and a small impact. The event that finally tips the scale may feel like a special event that finally did something different. But it isn't special.

An illustration of a scale with two piles of sand, the pile of gray sand on the left is larger and tips the scale.

Change WILL come from the sum total of all our small actions added together.

In the next panel the pile of rainbow sand on the right has become larger and tips the scale in the opposite direction.
