Building organization entails attending not only to one's own base but to the broader organizational ecosystem as a whole.
• Who else is inhabiting the same ecosystem?
• What is each org's niche (role) within it?
• What essential niches are currently most undervalued (and thus most under-occupied)?

Most of my views from 10 yrs ago were on the losing side of internal org votes but are now in the majority.

BREAKING: A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history! 2,500 union baristas across 120+ stores in 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike. We're SIXTEEN DAYS in and only getting stronger ✊
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Perhaps what I love most about @tamaranopper.bsky.social's mind is that it does not flinch from unpleasant truths; instead, she absorbs and highlights them in order to show how our assessments and strategies are often weakened by wishful thinking and can cause us to ignore crucial pieces of reality.
This week, I talk to @tamaranopper.bsky.social about abolition in practice — how people learn through engagement with state violence, what gets in the way of developing shared analysis, and why abolitionists need to take recruitment and counter-recruitment seriously.

Mrs. Doubtfire, because it's the only movie that everyone in my entire nuclear family of seven—my dad, mom, mom's mom, sister, two brothers, and I—enjoyed watching, and whenever it came on TV, we actually stopped fighting about what to watch. I'm thankful it gave us all a chance to share a laugh.
What movie are you most thankful for? (not necessarily your favorite!)

Thinking about this on a left-right axis is not going to be helpful in analysis and understanding. Many forces at play here. I know I am always telling people to look to Chicago, but for god's sake look to Chicago.
The city council under Eric Adams was a progressive counter to the mayor; with Julie Menin locking the race for city council speaker today, it looks like the council will be a centrist counter to him.

Menin says she'll work with Mamdani "on a shared agenda that makes New York more affordable."
GOP members backing Menin, tho, are likely to look to her to be a check on Mamdani. Vickie Paladino said she's with Menin because she "understands all perspectives." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/26/j...
