Why don't you ever tell me things?

I'm always gonna keep an eye on Pritzker because of the Blagojevich tape, but good on him for continuing to speak out against this shit.

I think it's because he's trying to jump on a presidential ticket, but still.

I don't get why people want their problems to have cosmic importance, but the scale of the universe just makes me feel like there is so much I'll never get to see. And if there is no other life in the universe, then all those amazing worlds with utterly unique phenomena will never be observed.

Thanks! My initial idea was AP/Reuters only "just the facts" news, but I figured that would take too much effort and wouldn't be worth it.

Who is coincidentally the commander-in-chief of the military

Just the news from a left leaning source.

Not civil disobedience, but I agree. Unfortunately creating communities is probably a bigger ask than getting arrested in a protest.

Some coordination is good, I mean distributed as in anybody with time/means can join, even if they aren't near a population center.

[-] ItemWrongStory@midwest.social 9 points 4 days ago

Not against the idea in spirit, but that's not distributed and not feasible for many people who live far from corporate HQs.

[-] ItemWrongStory@midwest.social 9 points 4 days ago

Right, that was just an example of things anyone with a couple friends could do locally that would still accumulate at scale.

[-] ItemWrongStory@midwest.social 13 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that's kind of the idea, like starting a trend of sabotaging multinational companies that have warehouses and logistics all across the country. Anyone near one could be inspired and do their part.

[-] ItemWrongStory@midwest.social 18 points 4 days ago

That's true, but at the same time, aren't most people already boycotting what they can? I think anyone who feels bad about supporting shitty companies are already avoiding them when they can, and if they can't, well there isn't much more to do until we hit mutual aid networks.
