As much as humanly possible, I try to put everything in my day during the 2pm-6pm but when I can't, I do what I call "resets". The day before I need to be awake during the day, I will stay up for about 16-20 hours and then go to bed around 2am. It's essentially resetting my sleep schedule, so of course it occurs mostly during weekends. It's an extremely unhealthy way to change sleep schedules and should be used sparingly, but it's effectiveness can't be beat.

How many people do you think ozma can reach? How many people do you think were personally disaffected by ozma? Why is it ozma's fault that the aggressively Republican campaign Harris ran didn't inspire people to actually vote?

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

Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn't a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.

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

The gun isn't to fight the military. It's to protect against random acts of political violence.

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?

 
 
 
 
 

Ok so I got this idea not while showering, but because I'm very high. The story does come from my bathroom though! I have a night light in my bathroom, and I was looking at the night light as I turned off the bathroom light. I'm a big nerd so I remembered that the things that detect light levels are actually diodes wired in reverse. I thought it would be funny to make it flicker by reflecting the light back on the diode, but it didn't work. That's when I had this realization

 

I refuse to link to that hellsite, so I did folks a favor and took a screenshot.

For those that don't know, CODE-CWA is the Campaign to Organize Digital Employees, ran by the bottom-up international union Communication Workers of America. Microsoft had previously signed a card-check labor neutrality agreement with CWA, as the ABK Workers Alliance is actively coordinating with CODE
