Sometimes when I talk to folks here I feel like people think “organizing” is a great charismatic leader rising from the left and telling everyone what to do and then creating a mass march in the streets that is a cathartic outpouring of emotion (but accomplishes nothing).
No.
No.
Organizing *is* the work. Building community and practicing care skills are foundational to absolutely everything else, but they’re also how we change the paradigm away from authoritarianism and give people the tools to maintain democratic social structures.

we've had at least a full decade of chucklehead elites across every industry and social group frying their brains on the internet and it's created this incredible leadership gap on practically every front, because they don't want to lead, but they have the power to prevent anyone else from doing it

understanding how things work is important. understanding the consequences of our choices is important. knowing why things *don't* or *can't* work is important. knowing how to set realistic expectations and deliver on them is important. all of this is important everywhere, not just in politics.

i agree with this, and i guess i'd add that i'd like everyone to start treating important things as if they matter. yes, i'd like electeds to do this, but not just them and not just executives and elites. the lolnothingmatters era needs to die, it's a big part of so many big problems.
the issue with american politics is that not that there's no taboo against lying, but rather that there's zero taboo against outright fantasy and delusion. i'm not talking about things like "we can have everything without raising taxes" esque stuff.

When racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found.
When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

In a country that purports to value the rule of law, "send them to jail" really is the only appropriate outcome for everyone behind a system in which taxpayer funds are spent shuffling detainees around the country to torture them psychologically and to evade district court jurisdiction.
Exactly. ICE’s domestic shuffle flights have more than doubled since Trump took office again, outpacing the overall increase in ICE flights. Using planes to deny due process.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.

The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights
![[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.
[Image shows this happening]

I keep waiting for this, it's a gaping lack in all this talk. They talk about how bad it is that ICE is kidnapping people but don't say a word about rescuing the people who have been kidnapped.
I am glad some politicians are finally, FINALLY, refusing to fund ICE and some talking about abolition.
But where is the screaming, where are the strong words, where is the horror and the remedy for the detention centers? There is no excuse. Free everyone, shut down, then investigate and prosecute.

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.
Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.
