How The People shifted California left(er) for much of the last century by trying to elect Upton Sinclair governor in 1934:
https://depts.washington.edu/epic34/
"Sinclair had lost but the story was not over. His [socialist] EPIC organization with its network of grassroots clubs had captured the Democratic party and would now control the party's statewide machinery and many of the local party committees."
Its always bottom up led, not top down, & nearly always by inspiring creative thinking re: solutions to our problems.
A good movement in other words synthesizes art & moral conviction to do whats tangibly right (just, fair, visualizably better).

"They Kept Covering It Up": California police kept death in custody a secret for seven years, inquiry reveals: Darryl Mefferd’s death was labeled an ‘accident’, but a report questions a Vallejo police officer’s role in the fatal incident

Neoliberalism is a global gateway for fascist far right gains, largely owing to despair, anger, fear, and not meeting the needs of the citizenry. Has been and continues to be.
71% of a country can support cease fire and be labeled as Putinistas and aggressively persecuted. 60% can recognize Climate Change as a serious threat & watch as some promises relating to this are walked back, a la Albanese in Australia. 82% can support a wealth tax and Janet Yellen can oppose it without it being a blip on anyone's radar.
It's called Ratchet politics.
Not sure why anyone is surprised by this.

Unrelated to the above, cops are at a crime scene and are tracking for evidence or whatever (after roughing up a non english speaker who was just passing through. Not the funny part obv, 🤦‍♂️ Oklahoma ) and they come to a fenced yard and started climbing over.

The Saskatoon freezing deaths involved Indigenous Canadians in and immediately outside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in the 1990s and early 2000s, and are suspected of being linked to actions by the members of the Saskatoon Police Service. The police officers would arrest Indigenous people, who were usually male, for alleged drunkenness and/or disorderly behaviour, sometimes without cause.[2] The officers would then drive them to the outskirts of the city at night in the winter, and abandon them, leaving them stranded in sub-zero temperatures.[3]
The practice is known as taking Indigenous people for "starlight tours"[4] and dates back to at least 1976.[5] As of 2021, despite convictions for related offences, no police officer has been convicted specifically for having caused freezing deaths.

If you're a doctor who missed over a month with severe viral symptoms (possibly, let's say Covid related?) & come back, I'd appreciate NOT seeing one of my patients for the first time & changing 5 of their medications.
I'd appreciate some humility, collaboration, rather than flippant "well we don't need that" when your changes cause 10 lbs weight gain in 10 days for a patient pursuing weight loss.

The flipside of that being with NoAuthority.social, I love that their idea of the Default Position -- "no authority" -- in a vacuum, is an admission that such a Default is actually the position of white supremacist bigoted ethos unless one does the work to decolonize their presuppositions, assumptions, & conclusions.

We've reached a critical junction as a failing species where it's apparent to me that I would've had more utility becoming, in purely fantastical, sci-fi terms, a living bomb that targeted the oligarchy, than I will ever come close to having in my role as a psychiatrist.
And while that's a fucked up thought, it's also an indictment on the failures of government to do what it's supposed to do, and a clear repudiation of capitalism altogether.
If one person could erase the 32 most powerful living people who perpetuate this ecocidal system we're enchained by, even then we wouldn't stand a chance because of the violence inherent in the system & structures of society and our economies that we, every day, validate when we should instead be resisting and seeking liberation from.

This post is less than 4 days old yet Biden is doubling down on his LIES about the protests.
He cant help himself.
https://zeroes.ca/@hannu_ikonen/112373764669277711
A new report found that 99% of pro-Palestine protests at US colleges have been peaceful, despite remarks from Biden characterizing such demonstrations as violent.
A brief from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a NGO specializing in crisis mapping, said that the vast majority of protests have remained “vastly peaceful”.
From the report:
Student protests on university campuses around the US are the latest sign of public discontent with the Israel-Gaza conflict.
While some notable violent clashes have recently taken place, such as on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, where demonstrators and counter-demonstrators fought at a student encampment overnight on 30 April, the overwhelming majority — 99% — have remained peaceful.3

"They’re pretty much the same as we were. The basic impetus of the students, I think it’s not that complicated. It’s that they see a moral tragedy and moral crime going on, and they want to try to do something to stop it,” Rudd told the Daily Beast.
“They don't have the violent rhetoric we had, like calling the cops pigs and ‘Up against the wall, motherfucker,’ that kind of craziness. I think they’re a lot more careful. I think they’re smarter."

“We as American Jews will not be used, we will not be complicit and we will not be silent. Judaism is a beautiful, thousands-year-old tradition, and Israel is a 76-year-old colonial apartheid state,” Morgan Bassichis, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the crowd.
“This is the Passover that we take our exodus from Zionism. Not in our name. Let Gaza live.”
The mass arrests came after the seder rituals. Speakers included journalist and author Naomi Klein, Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour, and several Jewish students suspended from Columbia University and Barnard College over the protests that have rocked US campuses in recent days.
Rabbi Miriam Grossman, from Brooklyn, led a prayer before the first cup of ritual wine. “We pray for everyone besieged, for everyone facing starvation and mass bombardment.”
