2. We need to organise, as citizens. This means recruiting your neighbours, friends, acquaintances and co-workers, and coming together to protect democracy and stable governance. Isolated bellyaching is not a winning strategy, working together is.

If you are reading this, it probably means you are doomscrolling the authoritarian apocalypse, instead of actually doing something about it. I can't recommend action enough. Switch off social media, limit it to a small bit of time per day, and work on your organising instead.

It’s not a coincidence that as Democratic states and cities are discussing and rolling out universal childcare the insane reactionary right is attacking childcare centers. They know that universal childcare is a popular proposal and they want to taint and destroy it any way they can.

It’s been 6 yrs since my sister rang me about the respiratory illness that she and her colleagues in respiratory medicine, were terrified of. That’s the last time I knew that version of her, the next 18 months traumatised her forever. I know the world had to move on, but its hard to see the erasure

"Political power & ideological divisions are as real as any physical forces: refusing to acknowledge them & understand the results of those who study them is wilful ignorance at best, supine complicity at worst. Neutrality is a figleaf to cover up allegiance to the status-quo & will protect no-one"
Apparently this is my day for posting stuff. I put together my ideas for writing a protozoan book here. Just a list of ideas right now, let's see how it develops.

Times are tough, and some of my paid subscribers have had to cancel lately due to financial hardships. I get it, and I wish for better times for us all. Unfortunately, paid subscriptions are now dipping into unsustainable territory. I am hoping to get eight new paid subscribers before the new year.

I am not doing well, not a secret. Heck, who is? We live in a time of powerful complicity in mass livestreamed atrocities on people and planet. I have been turning to writing and journaling to help figure things out. Perhaps self-indulgent, but I don't know what else to do.

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

And if you would like to learn Arabic, the Levantine dialect is one of the easiest and most beautiful dialects... so a good place to broaden your horizon

The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.
In our **new working paper**, we identify the sectors that matter most. A thread 🧵
