A recent study found only 2% of Democrats, 4% of Republicans consistently justified the use of political violence.
The fact that many of us are seeing more than this % in some social media feeds is a reminder that these platforms are amplifying division.
H/T @msifry.bsky.social for the data point.

One Million Rising may be the most ambitious training project I’ve seen in decades of social movement work.
For those who haven’t heard of it: it’s a national effort to train one million people in campaign strategy and organizing tactics.
The scale is already incredible…

What did Zohran Mamdani do to start his campaign?
He went and asked as many voters as possible what they cared about.
Then he reflected that back with great discipline: “Rent freeze, free buses, no‑cost childcare.”
Sometimes campaigning is less complicated than we make it out to be.

In its current form, Bill C-5 is a gift to the fossil fuel industry. We have to move fast to pressure our MPs to improve the legislation, and make sure it puts people and the planet over corporate profits. Send a message now! win.newmode.net/350org/c5

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Thanks to all of your who helped pull the vote the Canadian election. I hope you've had at least a day or two of rest.
The House of Commons is set to return on May 26th.
We recommend folks get our issues on the agenda early before lobbyists and other regressive forces exert their influence.
