oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term

Since people are getting mad over the "voting is harm reduction" claim, it's worth pointing out that harm reduction as drug policy is supportive to be a supportive measure - not the only alternative.
It's a terrible political argument and a vapid defense of feckless centrism.

This isn't entirely wrong, but the problem with telling people to vote for the less evil guy is that the less evil guy has this habit of working with the evil-er dude or compromising away. Then people get burned out and cynical about the point of voting every time Schumer and Jeffries speak.

I both love and loathe that we make trimet free on drinking holidays. Showing both how important it is and that we generally, as a society, don't care about how important it is

At one point, the two men in this video don’t identify themselves to daycare workers, demand to know where the children are, and then try to yank open the door as the female employees pull on it to keep them out.

Billiam manages to sort of comprehend where mutual aid falls short, while failing to comprehend that it's not the same as charitable organizations.
And he still won't rate my battle jacket.

“Everyone needs mutual aid” - I should hope not because it’s usually not going to be there and its total capacity to support the needy is very low. Part of what makes us progressive is that we understand these kinds of charitable private systems of support are insufficient, and often actively bad.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

The right is full of grown-ass adults who are afraid of vaccines, kid's books, and anyone Twitter or OAN tells them to fear, including the entirety of NYC, and NYC is full of people who cheerfully chase federal agents out of the state and then do stunts on Citibikes; you tell ME who's going to win.

Did Trump's glowing reception of Mamdani play a role here?
@emmagf.bsky.social on X: "Ricky Patel, the Special Agent in Charge at Homeland Security Investigations, called Jessica Tisch, the police commissioner, to apologize after there was a confrontation between protesters and the police in Manhattan today, according to a person familiar with the matter."

Seattle's Reddit drama is driven by two subreddits that largely hate each other and one of the most prolific posters is a retired weirdo who hates graffiti so much he became the worst tagger in Seattle. He also threw a huge fit about not being able to open carry in libraries.
For enjoyers of niche Internet drama:
The most active moderator of /r/PortlandOr is following around one of their most prolific commenters to tell them "you're gay" in different ways
