The #mainstreaming mess

Rachel Maddow called seniors fighting to protect Social Security “the new political leadership in this country.”

That’s powerful framing: it flips the script from protest to power, from grievance to governance.

When officials sit idle, it’s those in the streets who lead. And it's working.

Take Action!

From MorePerfectUnion IG. Had to share this as #valeriecosta proves each and everyone of us can make a huge difference. #teslatakedown #TeslaProtests #muskrat #trumpcoup #TrumpFascism #AOC #grassroots #unionstrong #usa2025 #TrumpPurge #trump2

Over 600,000 people in #Washington are #uninsured, and many more are underinsured. Whole Washington is pushing for a single-payer #healthcare system to guarantee everyone access to care.

This year, two bills have the most support, with 11 Senate co-sponsors and 17 in the House. The #grassroots campaign is gaining momentum, especially after COVID revealed healthcare #inequality. The goal is to create a model for nationwide change. But it all depends on public pressure.

Looking for a way to creatively support queer/trans youth in the south? take a look at https://qords.org/!

We are a week-long radical sleep-away music camp for queer/trans youth ages 13-17 in #NorthCarolina!

Campers get to experience building queer community with peers & elders, & have a week to create a song(s) & perform it at the end-of-camp showcase! In between that, there are many workshops & fun activities!

We have a COVID-19 policy; with multiple testing sessions throughout camp, & mask requirements at various periods. (We are also reworking it so more can safely enjoy camp!)

There are plenty of ways to contribute, including...

-volunteering (we are especially looking out for nurses this year!)
-doing a workshop (examples we've had: zine-making, voice-training, local ecology, self-defense, & more!)
-spreading the word
-donating funds, supplies, or materials

We will be dropping camper & volunteer applications soon, so please follow us to stay updated. Or email us (in our bio) for any questions.

For the past month, I’ve watched in horror the unrelenting attacks on science and scientific institutions in the US: grants frozen, databases deleted, basic words banned, decades of progress undone overnight. And while the US is by far an extreme case, research budgets in other countries are also being reduced (or they weren’t that high to begin with). Plus, the rise of far-right extremism seems to be happening almost everywhere.

But what I’ve also seen during this time are incredible community efforts to back up data, to build decentralized infrastructure, to push back against these attacks wherever possible. And in the context of human health, it got me thinking: medical research already neglects portions of the population, so if traditional institutions won’t prioritize our health anyway, why don’t we?

What if we built a decentralized, citizen-driven research initiative, an open-source database to track and analyze health data from diverse populations across borders? A kind of bootleg science, resilient against institutional neglect and political suppression.

This is a very unbaked, maybe desperate and idealistic thought more than a plan. I have no clue where to start from, or if something similar already exists. But I’d love to hear what people think. Does this sound stupid/impossible/doable? All of the above?

Friday when #Zelenskyy is here I can wear and wave a #ukraine flag and a #nato flag too.

I can go a day without leaving the farm and buy nothing on #Feb28

I can #standupforscience on 7 march

These are only beginnings not the end

Not once and done

A primitive squawk-meter for #trump, saving nothing destroying a lot.

Gdy pierwszoplanowe postacie Partii Demokratycznej w USA nagle zniknęły, nie widać przywództwa, Bernie Sanders jeździ po "czerwonych stanach" ze swoją opowieścią o potrzebie zatrzymania oligarchii i autorytaryzmu. I ludzie przychodzą na spotkania, bo nikt inny nie daje nadziei w tych trudnych dla nich czasach. Bernie wyrasta na lidera, mobilizuje jak zwykle ludzi #grassroots

Czytam komentarze o nim: "Tak, miał trochę racji we wszystkim przez cały czas..."
"Sanders był zbawieniem USA, ale my / oni (głównie DNC) całkowicie to spieprzyliśmy."

Cóż, jak trwoga, to do socjalisty bo liberałom jest niewygodnie teraz reagować...

FYI: Sanders nie należy do Partii. Jest niezależnym kongresmenem. Współpracuje z Demokratami od dawna. Ma 83 lata.
