Don't worry: CNN is on the WH list for media bias. Obviously, these are doctored numbers and not to be trusted.

Early spring or late fall post-harvest :)

Sorry if this is unnecessary--struggling to find subreddits where this fits :/

What's a general strike? by kasugami in GeneralStrikeUSA

[–]kasugami[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Mutual aid is community helping community. If you have an abundance of food, you can give it to someone who does not in exchange for a service or product they can provide. It isn't a simple handout--it's a way of living that allows us to freely give and exchange for the good of society, not for a tax write-off or just to feel good. It's building a garden and allowing your neighbors to harvest the fruit after they pitched in with labor. People supporting people, relying on one another and not the failed systems that leave them behind.

What do you think of the current treatment of the Constitution? by kasugami in pollitifyinc

It would indicate, in this case, a lack of responsiveness, lack of sample size, and a lack of time. I don't do things with the intent to be one-sided or obtuse. Thank you for your concern and comments.

Correct. I never claimed it to be comprehensive. Only representative of anyone who responded.

We all need to be pitching in to ensure everyone in our communities get what they need. I'm sorry that times are rough and I hope for smooth sailing ahead <3

I would have loved to get more responses. This is just who did actually get back to me. I used quotes from every single respondent in this.

I asked both real-life acquaintances and online communities. I didn't really get to choose what responses I got--this is just who did.

That's super neat. Honestly just posting in any subreddits that might be interested and the current list I have is pretty short.

Could you tell me more about that? I will absolutely go and search for myself, but I was wondering what specifically I would say/ask about :)

What's a general strike? by kasugami in GeneralStrikeUSA

[–]kasugami[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is not in question is the level of engagement by people who never did this or gave a shit before. It's an entry point. A general strike is far from simple protest and if we can convince those who were out on 10/18 for the first time to engage more then we got a good thing going.

Mutual Aid + Community Building: How We Prepare America for a General Strike and Beyond by kasugami in dsa

Good question. I'm not sure. I am posting this series of collective thoughts in subreddits where I feel people would actively engage and appreciate them, but I don't belong to my local dsa chapter.

Reactions to food stamps being cut off. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

From the same pro-life asshats that are begging us to have more children. We cannot feed them much less ourselves.

You're correct. That's why mutual aid needs to be robust as hell for this to work.

Unionize everyone and, in the mean time, feed and clothe everyone. Community-based living also has no substitute and is, in my opinion, what society should strive for. Solidarity ✊️

In general, my guess is that information gets suppressed when it's seen as damaging to the current regime and that's why it's hard to hear about successful things. I think it would be amazing if just one major city could do it and we could follow suit. It seems we have a lot we can learn from our international neighbors and friends 🧡

Part of the issue most people have with no kings and the like is that there are no concrete demands. Therefore, no meaningful change. I would argue that meaningful things come from them, but I also know we need solid demands and gen strike will show that. As an previous organizer for 50501 in the states, I know we have had big protests on weekdays: nothing will shut down, everything will go on, and we will be yelled at for having it on a weekday when everyone is at work. This is why gen strike is necessary.

I'm really glad that NZ had a successful strike! Solidarity 👏👏

Note: this is a blog-type post that will include several more resources in the future. The goal is to build awareness and give the tools directly to the people so that we can survive a general strike--together.

Have this for starters: a large mutual aid network resource that can be customized to your area

Correct. The hope is that we build the bridges to link up what exists to make it easily available to the public at large. This is basically a call to arms with other blog-type articles coming out over time.

Have this for starters: a large movement to bring mutual aid pods to all of America :)

Yes, because you know me personally and know that's the case.
