That's hosed up. It looks like a state politician though. Is there any practical way a person from the other side of the us can help?

I was half asleep last night thinking about how the media is owned by 6 corporations & how neat it would be if there were some channels that were certified non-corporate. Like, a WSDE/coop media company could opt in to have their finances investigated for connections to big/corporate money & if they pass, they can advertise that they are a "people's broadcasting company" or something & it's like those "certified fair trade" stickers you see on things. I hope the rest of you also had sweet leftist dreams last night

Prester Jane posted:One clever member noted that all of these high level Scientologists were easily triggered into semi-hypnotic states by inserting bits of random text associated with the programming they had been subjected too into regular posts. Although this made the forums a bit frustrating to read for a bit (because of the random insertion of Scientologist gobbledygook into sentences) it also did cause the Scientologists some real hell. Their top level operatives were snapping in and out of trance whenever they tried to read the Enturb forums, and were basically unable to function as spies as a result.  Can you link a source for this? This is fascinating & I would like to read more about this.

N. Senada posted:I wouldn't think so. I think you'd have to be more evocative with language like "Cares about all Americans - the working and those who want to work." The implication is that the other side doesn't care about all Americans, which they don't. I like this a lot, especially your inclusion of "those who want to work". I think a lot of conservative types arrive there because they view the left as supporting a welfare state, when we are actually very interested in everyone doing something productive. I wonder if that kind of language might help break that false association.

What if you sent an email to the other members you could find and say "want to have a meeting, anyway?". IDK if you want a leadership position but being more eager to lead than the current leadership might help you with that~

I'm thinking about going to the Inauguration on the 20th to protest, and bringing some socialist literature to hand out to other protesters who seem like they might be interested. I don't intend on mindlessly handing these out to everyone I see--I would start conversations and try to gauge if the material would resonate with them. I have no idea what I would be handing out. Probably some kind of intro to socialism material, but cheaper than Jacobin's ABCs of Socialism. Good idea? Bad idea? If a good idea, what kind of material would people recommend?

Anything besides the usual protests and marches and meetups worth mentioning? From the marxist thread in CSPAM jarofpiss posted:v good dsa meeting tonight. had like 40 people and a whole bunch of first timers. had an environmental action speaker asking for civil disobedience signups to train for arrests and stuff. had an infosec speaker that walked everyone through tor and internet/phone security stuff for activists. had a call to action for a leftist coalition action on the 20th. very militant themed. only had two walkouts lol. jarofpiss posted:this is Houston and I think liberals get lost sometimes and show up. we were about 10 chairs short so had a number of people standing and they left when the speaker started talking about public, private, secret, communication and if you're doing anything illegal do it only face to face with no phones around.

Inauguration was pretty rad. Saw where some anarchists smashed up stuff. Got a whiff of some tear gas. Fun stuff. Lot of people really dug my sign: "One who seeks to arouse prejudice among working people is not their friend -Eugene Debs" It's a slightly altered quote, but it good.

Speaking of unions, is it of any concern that AFL-CIO political director Michael Podhorzer went to this donor retreat thing? http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/01/23/democrats_missed_women_s_march_for_david_brock_donor_retreat.html I just happened to see that.
