@nprofile…xzjz Thanks for being there! It's important to have a presence in smaller and mid-sized California cities.
If you or friends would like to learn more about protest de-escalation, San Jose Gandhi Team now has some training videos available here: https://www.gandhiteam.org/resource-list
They've been doing safety monitor training for years but only recently created the videos.

Here's nonviolence expert and trainer Daniel Hunter's analysis of the recent "economic blackout" that was attempted in the U.S. His conclusion is that although there were some potential positive outcomes as a starting attempt, it lacked multiple elements necessary for a successful boycott.

Our congressperson Ro Khanna is collecting stories of people impacted by funding freezes:

"The Trump administration's mass firing of federal employees and pauses on essential federal funding is unconstitutional...
I am working to prevent the administration from holding critical funds hostage...
If you or a loved one has been impacted by these decisions, please share your story"

Matt Stoller, who writes on monopoly power, has taken the time to actually READ the TikTok divestment law. In his Jan. 19 newsletter he provides crucial context and goes over the facts. I found this piece much more valuable than the hundreds of uniformed hot takes that I've seen over the past few days.
"Monopoly Round-Up: Explaining the TikTok Dispute"
"The law never called for TikTok to be banned, it called for a divestment. So what's happening now?"

"... Each aspect of Zuckerberg's announcement appeared designed to ingratiate the company with President-elect Donald Trump and his MAGA base."

@nprofile…vdm6 This problem is not unique to Texas. Here in Santa Clara County, California I have the ability to choose from four different ACA plans from the official marketplace, and ZERO of them are accepted by Stanford Medical / Stanford Hospital. Stanford Medical accepts Medicare (for which I won't be eligible for a long, long time) but they don't accept Blue Cross or Blue Shield of California.
Single-payer would 100% eliminate this problem.

@nprofile…skc4 I would think there's a lot more risk from all of the Ring cameras that my neighbors have installed than from somebody looking up my spending at the grocery store. Those camera feeds go directly to Amazon and can presumably trivially be obtained by federal law enforcement / ICE.

Fair Fight Action, one of the major groups working to turn out Democrats to vote in Georgia, has issued a call for additional phonebankers.
From Fair Fight staff: "We are in serious need of phonebankers this election season! Not everyone is reachable by text and, in Georgia, every vote matters!"
Here are the three phonebanks where they need additional volunteers, on Oct. 16, 21, and 22:

@npub189n…satx Democratic Senator Jon Tester (Montana) is currently the most at risk for losing his seat. If we lose it, we very likely lose the Senate and then you're correct that we'll have continued federal paralysis, plus zero judicial appointments.
Remote phonebanking signup for Montana Dems is here:

@npub10pr…qn7d "the suspects had radicalized themselves" isn't correct and leaves out the cause. The better statement is that right-wing content hosted by a multitude of corporations radicalized them.

@npub1vuk…q8yv Please clarify "joining forces". Is this a merger of the two 501c3 entities into a single 501c3?

@npub10jk…dpae I refuse to purchase a Volkswagen ID.4 (VW's electric car offering) in part because they've put all of the control functions onto the touchscreen, with GUI design apparently by a lunatic who delights in making functionality impossible to find. We rented one and I found it nearly impossible to adjust the climate controls, among many other issues.
Whoever came up with this trend of putting a 17-inch TV screen into the middle of every new car needs to be fired, IMHO.

@npub16nf…q6as The "where" construction is fine. The pattern is "where there is X, (may there be) Y". See for example the Prayer of St Francis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis
