Yes!! I highly recommend the free documentary Elements of Mutual Aid for anyone who wants to learn from mutual aid groups all around North America: theelementsofmutualaid.com

Truthfully, one of the biggest challenges is hubris. *Everybody* thinks they're good at comms,everybody thinks they know exactly how to persuade people, virtually everyone has zero experience. Even fewer know how to do it online. And most resources go to the folks with almost no history of success.

Good thread. I don't agree with all the framing, but definitely do agree with the substance.

This is actually most of the work. Mutual aid is community self-defence. Fundraising for a bail fund is community self-defense. etc

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

Brazil is dope news tho. So happy for em

they will water down your revolutionary action in order to get their candidates elected every damn time

The Serbian elections are a really good story if you leave out all the messy bits.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

"Things are so bad even the introverts are voting."

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

USIANS PAY ATTENTION!! WE BEAT META, WE BEAT YOUR BIG TECHS!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

just one more vote, bro! They'll stop taking away your healthcare and ability to function in society with just one more vote, bro. i swear bro, just one more vote.

French police sees children walking mere meters away, casually throws teargas right at the children. If you wanna understand why so many people hate the police x.com/tartarle/sta...

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

many such cases

what sacrifices have you made for people who arent your own? what have you done to fix the problems in the world that never impacted you? have you done *anything* for other people who dont remind you of yourself?

i think the real thing that makes someone a leftist is when you start to actually give a shit about movements and issues that don't affect you. anyone can stand up for things that affect them. but it takes actual principles to stand up for groups you're not a part of. most people dont do this.

These motherfuckers hate women so much.

echoing was @borderless.bsky.social said, give money to mutual aid networks instead!

damn Southwest has free wifi on domestic flights which is pretty dope
