I'm excited for this week-long online gathering of nonviolent communication (NVC) trainers sharing their work freely! It's hosted by a European organization, so some time slots are awkward for US schedules, but the workshops are in English & are free: www.empathiceurope.com/time-for-emp...

"Trump plays a strongman on TV, & he is a talented performer. But the strength consists solely of the submissiveness of his audience. His performance arouses a dream of passivity: Trump will fix it, Trump will get rid of our problems, & then we will be free." snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

As a Chinese dissident artist i think this is a Great cartoon and very appropriate to reference the tank man from 1989 giving Elon's Shanghai super Tesla factory and his damage to America.

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

"The crafting of lifelines is up to us because no one else is coming to save us. For the most part, the Democratic Party leadership has been silent. Even if it begins to wake up, electoral politics alone cannot deliver us from this nightmare. None of this will be easy." inquest.org/this-is-how-...

The circumstances are “we’re not sure if there is a Federal Trade Commission anymore and we’d like to try something”

Commentary: If Minnesota’s case is allowed to proceed, more evidence of what Koch, Exxon and API did will be uncovered through the court process. That’s why these companies are fighting so hard to prevent that. Minnesotans deserve their day in court with Big Oil minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/12/m...

Things that help ground me: putting things in historical context. We're never DONE with liberation, it is a process. There's no prior "great" state of the US to revert to, we've been making it greater all along. Now is no different. Collaboration is resistance! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j53V...

While I appreciate the sentiment, introducing a bill in Congress right now is a joke SHUT IT DOWN. No budget, no debt ceiling, no business as usual. Any funds you appropriate, Mump will use however they want. They are busy making you irrelevant. Fed govt has ONE JOB right now: stop the coup. 1/

Just made my daily calls to my federal congress reps urging them to take gloves off and use every dirty procedural trick available to stop business as usual until the Trump admin's lawlessness stops. No budget, no debt ceiling, no confirmations. Shutdown is preferable to authoritarian takeover. 1/

MPD assistant chief Katie Blackwell says a "large segment" of officers, sergeants & lieutenants still hold onto the "pre-Floyd MPD" culture. Some express resentment and suspicion towards her for testifying against her fellow cops.
