I've seen folks ask - how do we fix this? In the US, in the world, in our politics, in our culture?
The right is on the warpath, worldwide. We're watching the 20th century's wins be dismantled, actively - what can we do about that?
My answer - the same things we did to win them in the first place.

One thing that can help pull these efforts together is a new narrative, Iām collecting ideas here

Decades of work speaking directly to the material needs of common people, building class solidarity, and getting dedicated organizers to spend years working diligently on small, specific, unsexy issues that make people's lives better.
And... I mean, yeah.
That's the world we've got.
I'm interested in making the lives of the people around me better, in building systems that continue that for the future.
If we balkanize, we'll do that in the successor states.
If the bomb drops tomorrow, and I'm not immediately dead, I'll do that in the wasteland with as many people as I can.
That's the work.
No disposable people indeed!
