Humanity is the understanding of others.
Empathy is the ability to understand ourselves in the difference of others.

you can either read a budget and know what you were funding. or you can't read a budget and shouldn't be a politician
Either way the response is the same: don't vote for anyone who funds ice.

People seem to not realize that protest can be both non-violent AND disruptive and that's because they're yammerheads who don't do squat in the streets.

It also betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about sensible risk assessment in organizing.
There are some organizing activities that are so sensitive that yeah, have that conversation offline and put your phone in a Faraday bag.
AND there's some stuff you can do in an unvetted group chat.

I think it is *incredibly* irresponsible for someone like @stonekettle.bsky.social, with a huge following, to claim that Signal is just as insecure as texts or other public social media.
This is a classic “making perfect the enemy of the good” error.

Metzger began the strategic program of infiltrating immigration enforcement agencies as a Klan leader targeting INS and Border Patrol in the early 1970s, and continued to emphasize placing white supremacist accelerationist recruits with CBP and ICE in his post-W.A.R. career til his 2020 death.

Speaking of that CBP / ICE agent talking about Call of Duty (and the Metzger infiltration campaign targeted at immigration enforcement agencies), worthwhile to mention:
Gamification of political violence, bigotry, and hate didn't start with the US Militainment-Industrial Complex (see: GWOT).

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂

Folks in these cities made over 350 HRT harm reduction toolkits over the holidays to hand out for free to trans people who are being denied the healthcare they need.
Let’s celebrate all the volunteers who turned up to make this possible 🎊

Since folks are talking movement logistics, let me say this proudly:
@distributeaid.org is led by women. Most of our coordinator roles are staffed by women. And we pay a volunteer stipend to everyone in those roles.
Want better movement logistics? Pay women for the work they already do.

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

Something I want more people to bear in mind about Linda Tirado's injuries in 2020 is how few colleagues in journalism felt moved to aggressively support her in public after she was shot by police.
People need to learn from that now as journalists go into danger again, because that hurt her a lot.

One of the most critical skills to develop when you’re new to activism is knowing the difference between people who are teachable vs people who gleefully refuse to engage with reality.
We need to change as many minds as we can, as fast as we can—AND we have no time for minds that refuse to change.
