Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonThirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now:27. Ask yourself how much of your political engagement is confined to spaces where everybody else is already aware of and angry about the same things that you are. Ask yourself, gently, “Should I just complain to the same friends?” “Do I need to spend all this time on Bluesky?” “Why am I only reading authors who tell me how bad everything is but not what we can do in response?” Instead, consider spending more time with folks who are highlighting everything that’s already being built and reminding us of how much power we actually have. I’m not saying that your time should be spent debating and getting in screaming matches with the most MAGA-loving person in your vicinity. Remember that most of your neighbors aren’t paying attention one way or another. This moment is about spreading the word: people are being hurt, and we should stand in opposition.<a href="https://thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lonely-but-beautiful-actions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lonely-but-beautiful-actions</a> a 🧵 22/?<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ResInt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResInt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TTJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTJ</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Union</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unions</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a>

Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonThirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now:25. Remember that fascists hate unions, and one of the reasons why they’re winning is that union density is at an all time low. If your workplace has a union, throw yourself into it. If your workplace doesn’t, there are a whole bunch of people who would like to help you start one. If you don’t have a traditional workplace (like me), you might be surprised that there are unions for us as well. Join. Agitate. Know that we won’t turn the tide if we can’t get union density back in the double digits.26. If you know and love a federal worker, particularly in a targeted agency, do something kind for them.
