  1. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social The greatest threat is elite, #supremacist capture of aspects of the American #government and the collusion of governments all over the world.

    To target government, even if one were an #anarchist, is to play into the hands of those who wish to dispose of #civic infrastructure.

    We need language and framing that helps people reclaim the #public domain (and the private domain). We need #liberty for individuals and for society.

  2. With over $100+ million annual budget shortfalls seen through 2030 across bay from San Francisco, #Oakland CA #elected officials on Friday declared a state of “extreme fiscal necessity” for the fourth year straight in order to get a routine legal #workaround to #divert restricted #tax dollars to different sets of #civic purposes than initially approved. Amongst the interesting items on this week's #LeftCoast urban wasteland #CityCouncil meeting #agenda, is a vote that could give the #DemocratParty council members up to 125% pay raises.

  6. Functional consent in this context is the appearance of public agreement with shrinking freedoms, produced not by genuine choice but by structural conditions that script people into performing compliance.
    It is the #civic #performance that makes the degradation of #freedom look like normal life.

  13. theconversation.com/school-is-; journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11 (full text). "When #civic #knowledge is actively taught, #students are more likely to support #egalitarian views about #gender. These kind of views can include, for instance, that women & men should both be able to hold high positions in #politics, & that they should be paid equally." There appears to be a conflation here between biologically determined #sex & socially & psychologically determined gender - they are NOT the same thing.

  15. The Department of Justice has fallen.

    Until the federal #government is restored to competent, accountable #leadership, consequences and social ostracization by non-governmental entities must become the default response.

    Businesses, #professional associations, #civic groups, and everyday citizens should withhold prestige, partnerships, donations, and public endorsements from officials and agencies acting in bad faith.

    Next month I start a local civics class my city is offering, giving me monthly access to key people in my local government. I've organized two trash clean ups in that time, the second one having 15 people turn out to help clean a waterway.

    Getting involved locally has def gone hand in hand with a sense of nurture & nourish.

    If we're disconnected while starved for connection, starting by caring about others through nurture & nourish seems as smart a place as any.

    Certainly rings true for me. A year ago I started volunteering 2 hrs a week at our community garden. About 8 months ago, going to city council meetings, and speaking. I formed a pro-bike group, and we're advocating successfully for bike paths.

    My partner @agni made an observation about grass roots marketing in general - rather than spend 100% of time blasting out what you're doing, spend 80% nourishing and nurturing others, caring about them, boosting them, giving them support and love. Then 20% saying "oh hey we're organizing downtown every other sat at a coffee shop".

    What turns that around? What changed that for me, why did I start to care?

    I think the need is self-apparent - as residents, we regularly feel disconnected and disinterested in the place where we live. What turns that around? What changed that for me, why did I start to care?

    I think I was in my late 30s when my brain made the jump from thinking "they really should do something about this dumpy town I have to live in" to "omg it's me, 'public' means it's all our jobs" and it's only been the last few years that I've put that into action.

  22. "The stakes are as high as they come, including the vitality of public education and supportive, livable neighborhoods. Functioning hospitals, thriving religious and civic organizations, regular participation in community gatherings and municipal hearings, and reliable local businesses are cornerstones of civic life."

    Holy shit, well said.
