@ntnsndr The accompanying question might be … When you review an article:
How much time do you spend with your review? … It is very time consuming to analyze (and overanalyze?), document, and explain proposed changes. I have heard from top brass that it takes an entire weekend every time. … And, as a sane person, I left academia for this reason.

@FreeScholar #PublicBudgeting, #publicBanking, #PublicAssemblies, #cooperatives, and all the activities advocated by the movement for #solidarityEconomics guard against corruption. And, then also, there are suggestions about how to be antifascist (i.e. "Don't obey in advance.") and antiracist (i.e. recognizing internalized Whiteness, or conducting an equity audit). What do you think?

@ntnsndr For anyone, the Open Social Incubator project is ... https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2024/09/11/open-call-join-open-social-incubator
...an example of how people can build technical #skills to create #communities in online spaces that are democratically-run, open #SocialNetworks, not corporate spaces that are run by autocrats.

@ntnsndr Some Trump supporters are excited about his anti-globalization stance. And, some Trump associates are Russian agents. The Trump administration will take credit for ending the war to reclaim #tax dollars for Americans, by giving Ukrainian oil fields to Russia and shrinking the Ukrainian state. It is more politically feasible to expand #war somewhere else, such as #Iran, China, central African states, and in the US for #deportation #prisons. #WarProfiteering #profitsOverPeople

@ntnsndr The Republicans are telling lies as a strategy to create uncertainty, a political technology attributed to the Russians or Hitler.

@derek The outgoing #DSA Director summarizes 12 years of #UShistory from the perspective of the Democratic #Socialists of America. I am thinking about the difference between #organizing for #power and doing #PeopleCare versus policy advocacy and lawmaking. After #MLKDay, I’m calling myself “in“ to reflect on when I am that white progressive he spoke of who cares more about order and how I am the #activist and community organizer seeking to build #grassrootsPower. #DontMournOrganize.

@ntnsndr @Matt_Noyes. Would you tag me when the recording is live? I'll post it.
