The alternative routes part is key to me in my thinking and opposition. PGE wants to clearcut 5 acres (with future plans for more) of Forest Park and when the initial plan was roundly rejected by council, they cut out enviro groups to suggest the same plan rather than even engage with other options

Jayapal should be speaker

Over the last several days I've heard directly from parents who are scared and outraged about the PPS proposals for closure of their schools. They are calling for action from their elected officials at all levels. Today I have filed an emergency that responds to the urgency of these calls. 🧵

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

On this day 144 years ago, the U.S. Navy bombed Angoon, a Lingít village. Navy representatives formally apologized to the village deadly shelling just two years ago. Angel Jack and several high school students in Angoon created short films to document and capture what it meant to the community.

found out my 84 yr old dad is sometimes donating via the Dems text message spam. i fucking hate how they are manipulating older folks

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Can you imagine if a tiny fraction of the Dem text spam pivoted to missions like this? Activation instead of alienation, what I’d give for a single organizer replace the whole cadre of consultants

making sure everyone sees this! lula came back from the initial deficit at least in part because ten million implemented an organized strategy to neutralize algorithmic manipulation from tech lords brazil did not just "voter harder" -- they assessed the disinformation threat and organized a tactic

love to wake up on monday and deal with credit card fraud

Lula Goes HARD

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

we stopped at longfellow school, which was slated to close in all 3 of MPS’ transformation plans, and christin crabtree explained why it is special, how it serves teen parents & keeps them in school “this kind of school is transformational in itself and should’ve never been slated for closure.”

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Between Brazil and Serbia, it's a really good day for democracy.

HELL YES

in fact, meeting Nathan Ong Norris compelled me to fish out my ballot from the mail, get out my various voter guides and do the thing. i hope this post can compel you to do the same, if you haven't yet! not that i wasn't gonna vote, but i have been busy, and it was nice to feel inspired & do it

i am this close to buying a url

the blue wave is gonna slosh back on the Dems shore, wave height unknown but landing assured. what will Dems do with their power? this will partially decide our fate as humans on earth

thoughts on switching from 13 years of iphone dependency to learning to use an open source operating system on an android device -- I kinda hate the learning curve and discomfort but I also have no desire to be functionally addicted to the apple corporation I am suffering, I am free

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
