“What’s that [action] gonna do?”

There’s a theory in organizing called pitchfork theory. It says that one strategy alone has minimal impact, but multiple strategies can have massive ones.

Let’s use the Americans With Disabilities Act as an example.

Wednesday, March 5: voted in accordance with REI Union recommendations in the board elections. Took like 30 seconds.
NEW: Unionized REI employees are calling on members of the co-op to vote "no" in this year’s board of director elections after the company excluded two union-backed candidates from the ballot. The two were Tefere Gebre, chief program officer at Greenpeace USA, and Shemona Moreno, a Seattle activist.

Ok trying not to PANIC and also trying not to get complacent, so I’m soft-setting a goal of one concrete action per weekday (or 5 per week idk). Making a list here to keep myself accountable.

File this under “evidence that democrats can’t get attention for doing wild shit because everyone expects that they will make sense and follow rules but every dumbass thing Donald Trump says is the whole news for 2 weeks.”
I don’t understand what Biden et al are doing with the ERA, do they think people are not going to notice that it isn’t actually in place?

What's a desmostylus, you might ask? They were large aquatic mammals, much like hippopotamuses, that went extinct about 7 million years ago. Their fossils have been found along the Oregon coast!
