"Holding the lifeblood of medical research ransom — w/o warning, w/o consultation — is shortsighted at best & incredibly harmful at worst. Ultimately, it will hurt the patients & communities we serve far more thn researchers like me."

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

If you think people were impatient in getting the results from the national election, it's even worse when you have a local democratic chair election. I've been here for hours and I want to gnaw my arm off from hunger.
Thanks for the correction. We did elect our DNC delegates at State. We have not yet had our primary, as we are still going through reorganization.
Food Security Is National Security 🤔
"Big Ag perpetuate the myth that...the U.S. can “feed the world.” How could we even begin to aspire to “feed the world” if we can’t feed our own country? UPDATE

/11 now admittedly, it never is as simple as that. Politics being as it is always has some level of nonsense going on. But it's perfectly possible to climb that rung with a little effort. A lot of coalition building and a bit of luck.
/10 if you're willing to put in the work, you can be a delegate. If you're willing to put in the work, you can shape the direction of the party. Did I mention having to put in the work? It doesn't happen by magic. I mentioned that too didn't I?
/9 I mostly put this thread together because I keep on hearing people talk about the DNC like it's some super secret party which only is a certain people are invited. Most of what it takes is not being a super politician or donating a lot of cash. It basically takes work.
/8 we ran ours by ranked choice voting, and the top two from each round went ahead and became delegates. The same delegates you saw screaming and cheering on the floor at the Democratic convention. Now these delegates will vote for the next DNC chair.
/7 and what do we have? More elections! The elections are run based on an agreed upon set of rules that everybody follows. You put your name in along with your pitch and then you politic. Get votes. Have SCs Pledge to you. About 6 months before the Democratic convention we had a delegate vote
/6 state committee persons elect the state chair and the board. You also become visible and can make connections with other SCs across the state.
Now we're getting to the real meat of this thread : becoming a DNC delegate. To be clear: you have to be a PC to be a delegate.
/5 You can also at that point become a State committee person. Chosen by the PCs in your district. You then represent your district at the state level. (Which is why relationships at the local level are important)
/4 Now as you get families with the process, you make friends and contacts. You can start to discuss and persuade other PCs that your ideas are good. This is important because PCs elect their local democratic boards. And those boards feed into the county leadership, and then to the state level
/3 Becoming a PC is different depending on your state, and it's called by different names but the job is the same. Knock doors, register voters. All in your neighborhood. Your neighbors. Learn who your democratic allies are around you. I'm in AZ so you'll have to check your states rules.
/2 The process actually started almost 2 years ago. Everyone focuses on the "superdelegate", the elected officials. But that is not where the real action is. it's in the trenches. On the ground.
It all starts with the Precinct Committeeperson.

So I'm seeing quite a bit of chatter about a new DNC chair. Lots of opinions, lots of hot takes. I have to ask myself: Who knows how the DNC Chair is chosen?
Ohh, Ohh! Me Me Me... /1

Local food economies need to be strengthened to offset the nonsense to come. We can no longer rely on the FDA under his Orangeness.
Nearly 1200 food recalls so far in 2024 www.fda.gov/safety/recalls How much more will there be (or not be) under the Mango Menace?

Food is life. Food is control. Free yourself from big ag. Support local farmers. Grow your own food. Share your excess produce.

I went into data management decades ago and it's never failed me. There is always a need to organize data and a method that can be used for Business decisions. Still true today. AI can't change that.
