I disagree! They work very hard to implement their political project to control and manage disfavoured groups - this is one small part of it. When we read this as lazy, it is a mistake. They are actually relentless.
Yes!

Do Nothing and Then Complain
I really wish that some friendly thousandaire would fund public service announcements teaching people about the most common fallacies. The Just World Fallacy would be at the top of my list.
Thank you for sharing these. I just lost my job at an NFP due to bullying and racial violence (again). I wanted to share some handwritten postcards as farewell notes to the people I cared about there. These poetry gems are short and perfect for that.
Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”
America’s Mayor can’t miss.
Is it any good? Looking for new shows
Thank you for sharing! I’ve signed up for updates. V on point: I’ve joined a weekly IRL political ed study group for activists and organisers, and my partner begun volunteering weekly at our local community nursery. I half-joke that this is us now how we go to church.
I used mailchimp during the pandemic for that newsletter (also niche) but they’ve also subscription-modelled the hell out of all their offerings. And I agree w MK : if you don’t want to monetise your writing, you shouldn’t have to pay. But who will create this anti-capitalist platform for us 😭
Hhmm ok thanks for explaining. I asked bc I’ve been wanting to return to my early 2000s blog letter on WP, and now want to avoid substack, ghost etc . I don’t want to make money off my writing, just share it, so might still consider WP.
How did Wordpress die? Just because no one reads blogs anymore…?
Met Professor Angela Davis and got her to sign my copies of her books at a conference in Queensland, Australia

(around photos of Jeff Bezos and an Amazon employee) Jeff Bezos made $90 billion in profit... because of their hard work. Amazon's profits went UP 45%, but its taxes went DOWN 87%. Thanks to Trump's "Big Ugly Bill," Amazon paid just $1.2 billion in taxes (down from $9 billion last year). Hardworking Americans are struggling, while Republicans hand massive tax breaks to the Epstein class.
Tax the rich.
If everything can be described, anything can be justified

Just. Tax. Them.
"The organizer’s calling is not to do everything ourselves; it is to find everyone we need." convergencemag.com/articles/nin... - An organizer Enneagram - I fit a couple of these.
They sure do. They think they Ned Kelly but they are all the cops that killed him.
i think "values" is overselling what we have, we basically still use penal colony thinking in how we approach everything
australians love anything that enforces the prison heirarchy
So much racism; so little policy.
If only we had a political party that would play this message to the public on repeat
