Disposal mechanism.
Criminalization is a disposal mechanism, folks. Worshipping it with a religious fervor—as so many people in this country do—is actual death cult shit.

These pro-birth weirdos are f*cking up education so that you have to have more babies
By the way, as a reminder, the pronatalists are now writing policy proposals about making it harder for women to go to college so that they have more babies. And not some obscure blogger or something. The Heritage Foundation. www.heritage.org/education/re...

Be the change, tell nazis to fuck off. Start with substack.
Substack has been known for a while to allow and even encourage (through revenue-sharing) extremist content in the name of "free speech"

Great analysis of the floating signifier of this healthcare crisis moment by the peerless Kelly Hayes…
My latest is a reflection on how people have responded to the killing of a health insurance CEO. "Rather than centering Thompson’s humanity, as scolding voices have demanded, they centered their own, and the humanity and suffering of others who were harmed by the insurance industry."
Insurance Denials, Chronic Pain, and a Nation’s Rage
One might call this development “a morbid symptom” of a late-stage sickness.

Build group power by organizing, joining a union, making a book club, anything at all to be with others either in person or online where you share values and can be in solidarity
“Join a labor union, a social movement, a political party, a tenant union, a community organization, a book club. Literally anything is better than sitting at home and scrolling on your phone and getting mad at the news.”
Many protest movements of the past decade have backfired. What would it take for one to succeed under Trump?
Some features of mass protests in the 2010s also held them back – but years of study have made journalist Vincent Bevins believe solidarity and structure can effect change

Local organizing, everybody
In the three majority-Native districts in Alaska, the 'no' to repealing RCV won 64% to 36%, netting 2,960 votes.
Statewide, the 'no' only won by 664 votes.
This was not a coincidence, but result of plenty of organizing, & work by Native leaders: boltsmag.org/alaska-measu...

Alaska’s predominantly Native regions delivered huge margins against repealing the state’s new elections system, despite facing continued logistical challenges to voting.
