Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This entire 🧵 is a fantastic primer for surviving what's going on right now, but I want to pull out the last post because it's what I've been telling people. Organizing on the state, county and municipal level is where it's at. If you live in a blue state/congressional district, keep it blue! ↓

🧵A friend shared The Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide so I'm turning it into a thread. Everything in this guide is happening right now so keep referring back as you grapple with what to do right now 1/

This situation in South Korea is incredibly volatile and I'm really worried about what will happen after Trump is in office.

There's so many Twitter screenshots on Bluesky and it gives someone who thinks they're over the breakup but can't stop talking about their ex.

"A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity." Jimmy Carter

I met Jimmy Carter when I was on a 5th grade field trip when he was running for president. I of course didn't know that I'd had the privilege of meeting one of the most decent men to ever hold public office. The world feels a little colder today (and it was feeling pretty damned cold already 😭)

This is 18 year old Chula, she's been with us since before our son and we love her a lot. She's mostly indoors except when we let her out in the catnip patch under supervision but this PSA is still very appreciated. Poor girlie is just going to have to live with the dried catnip for awhile.

This is just a taste of the outcry that's coming if the ACA is repealed. People have no idea of the enormity of what's headed for them once they lose the protections in the law. And it's especially terrible when you consider 10% of people with covid develop long covid. They are screwed.

Korea's first democratic government was established in 1988 after years-long protests where thousands of citizens were arrested, tortured and killed. It's sad that just 30 years later democracy is seriously endangered. I love that Koreans are willing to fill the streets, but hate they have to do it.

🧵 I looked at the profiles of a fairly well known journalist who has 34K followers on Bluesky vs. 4223 followers on Threads. You would think his Bluesky engagement would be dramatically higher but it's not which is very interesting to me and in line with what I'm seeing on my other accounts.

Shit posting isn't organizing Social media metrics are meaningless if they're not tied to organizing goals. If you're in comms and you're not going out in the field regularly, you're not doing your job well.

I thought of a child having to go through ME/CFS is heartbreaking. It's a devastating illness and the name doesn't capture how disabling it is

I'm seeing people arguing about whether posting on social media is organizing and it reminded me of a graphic I created showing the differences between comms and digital organizing. They use the same tools but have very different goals. Not knowing the difference causes a lot of problems in orgs.

This is correct and as a former labor communicator one of the things that frustrates me the most is when the comms team is out of touch with that nitty gritty work. We can play an enormously important role in organizing but only if we understand what's happening in the field!

I was talking about how hard it is to find reliable product reviews now that sites are flooded with AI reviews. Something we're not discussing nearly enough is how AI is destroying the ability to find verifiable knowledge which is a huge harm to our democracy, health, education and like everything

My latest keeps me up at 3 am thought is that SEIU, AFL-CIO and the Teamsters get declared terrorist orgs and the Dems lose their biggest source of funding.
