The way I look at it, things have to get better. Because if they don’t then we will destroy ourselves. Barbarism until socialism.

Give people the basic dignity of existence, even when you’re pissed at them.

Why do you believe that what he did wasn’t mobilization? Enough people voted for him that he won, that’s called mobilization.

Why do you disagree? He mobilized the same number of voters, consistent over 3 elections. He got them to care, by borrowing leftist aesthetics to push class division.

Politicians mobilize voters, not the other way around. A politician failed to effectively mobilize. The strategy isn’t just “make everyone vote”, it’s to get people to care. The genocide isn’t a single issue to be ignored, it’s 43k reasons to not vote for either candidate.

I’m not aware of the history of this movement. Could you please provide some context? I want to push against reactionary undertones I might come across

Wow things sure changed about Android roms! I still remember how difficult it was to try to simply install a rom through Knox

That seals the deal for me on rooting my pixel. I’ve been hesitant about rooting ever since I bricked an extra galaxy s3 and nearly bricked my (main device) Verizon galaxy s5

They’ll be put on the chain gang, based on the rejection of the proposition to ban slavery in prison.

That’s what happens without class consciousness.

The entire southeastern corner of Minnesota is deeply conservative. As someone who grew up in Fillmore county, the only surprise from my state is that Olmsted county went blue

If people knew what Blue Earth is like, this wouldn’t be surprising.

Are you expecting someone to provide you with all the answers?

Organize literally anything; a labor union, tenant union, alternatives to capital, a community garden, etc. Getting involved means doing whatever you have the capacity to do. Sometimes organizing is long and challenging, sometimes it’s short and sweet. The thing is, there’s different recommendations for different types of organizing. A post like this really can’t get any more specific, because organizing is actually that broad of a topic.

Arm yourself to defend yourself and others from random acts of political violence. Use the arms to defend drag time story hour. Use the arms to protect the people you care about. Use the arms to watch cops. Get a gun, learn how to use it, and then only use it in emergency self defense. Having a substantial presence of guns at a protest against capital is already self defense, because cops know they can’t push the crowd too much. That’s why you shouldn’t wait for tanks to be rolling through before you arm yourself.

Mutual aid is part of organizing, and will become incredibly important over the next few years. If you want more insight then I recommend reading Kropotkin’s book on the matter.

If you’re looking for someone to follow, I recommend following yourself and your ideals. It’s very obvious that the point of the post is to take action, not to follow OP.

That would be an improvement

Worker cooperatives should be everywhere. I hope that governments start recognizing it and giving subsidies to co-ops instead of corporations.

Sorry for taking a dig at you like that. You’re right, the tension had me jumping to conclusions about what you meant, and it wasn’t deserved.

It’s weird to point out that the man will a history of lying to multiple wives about their relationship is being hypocritical towards an ad telling vulnerable women to lie so they can exercise their rights?

I’m excited to see them succeed. I love it when stuff is designed with function over form, and made practically. I’m a tall person, this is the only small electric vehicle I feel I could actually fit in

You mean the table that the US government built by gutting US manufacturing in the 90s?

The Guardian is a decent source. I recommend Democracy Now!, NPR (and any state-level equivalents), AP, Jacobin, Unicorn Riot, and outlets like that. There’s also some genuinely good independent news on youtube, like Democracy@Work
