I was thinking about the marchers Saturday. Like a slug, I didn't even know there was a gathering locally. www.poughkeepsiejournal.com...

Admittedly I wouldn't recognize the writer of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" on sight - but I'm sure she's proud of that and doesn't need to point it out (esp. to so many people at a march!)

The real question is how do keep that momentum going and STOP THEM ? There's already two shockingly horrible bills being introduced; one to leave theUN!!? And another to be able to just throw out preexisting laws with no hearings or reviewes

coping strategies? you mean re: new political realities? coping involves balance! knowing i need self-care, quietude, pleasure as much as i need engagement, information, community, awareness. life isn't easy & i don't plan on making it harder for myself than it has to be. balance in all things, because balance feeds strength. superman is a myth!

Ah, the Housemartins — a great two-album band, and the best Marxist-Christian pop group Hull ever produced.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ken HP: It seems that every 80 years or so, the U.S. faces an existential crisis in identity: the Revolution-to-Constitution/Civil War/WWII/post-industrial post-media post-truth mess. Most Americans love this country and wouldn't let anyone cast all that aside (including our Non-Super Superman, Linda). But to resist those people need to be engaged and not apathetic. AWARENESS like the Women's March making a public display gives a narrative that we aren't giving up and aren't going to let this become a twisted, different America.

Yeah, Linda, that's important. WFMU is part of my self-care :-)

@Gaylord: Huh, what a concept. And Fatboy Slim! He got started there!

But as for "the best Marxist-Christian pop group Hull ever produced", would the mid 20s vocal groups "Wilberforce" and "The Social Gospel" from Hull count? Oh wait, they were from Sutton, never mind...

also, as Rural Community Member Most Likely To Be Disappeared Under Christo-Fascism, i'm holding my community responsible for maintaining solidarity against the things community members pledge to oppose! gestures won't get us through the hard times ahead. true community, with some level of joined sacrifice, will. this means recognizing true allies against true enemies & refusing to be led by the nose into isolation on the basis of personal prejudices.

i would like to know what the Democratic Party is doing about addressing the Crosscheck program that eliminated millions .. literal millions .. of likely Dem voters from the rolls in swing states before the primaries! this was documented at the time! what's the point of organizing the vote if the process has no integrity?

As for confrontations IRL, many of us aren't inclined to speak up when witnessing those - but this is the country and human rights on the line. Speak up to injustices early! Before those cowards gain ability to instill fear and do real damage. NOW is the time to hold those people back.

I find it almost annoying that i live in a multi-ethnic and relatively liberal area, so my pressing the community around me won't have the kind of effect that it might have in a more mixed place.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:15pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Linda: As for the Dem/liberal politics front, write up a case and continually tell it to elected officials. The Homo politicus won't raise issues or fight for principles, if there's no punishment for ignoring them. Press your case to possible allies, reward those who take it up publicly, condemn those who don't! Responding to the public on what truly matters can only help the whole body politic.
Avatar 11:15pm
Linda Lee:

thanks for support Matt! i'm not lonely, actually, because the community here is pretty great. i only want stated allies to be ready to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, when it comes down to it. as well should every individual at the marches yesterday, or they might as well have stayed home & avoided using the gas. i'm very serious.
as for online confrontations, i have no illusions about changing anyone's mind without face-to-face confrontation. anonymity means dishonesty. it's just too easy to be dishonest without actual presence required.

Fox (Rā-chul):

I'm tired of social programs being put on the chopping block as part of compromise between the Republicans and Democrats. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Food Stamps should be continually expanded to better cover the growing numbers, need, and ability to spread basic livelihood as a human right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Fox: But remember, you are part of many overlapping communities (to include this one, the FS!) It's still worth it to bolster those communities where you live, since a homogenous community won't do much if they're not united in supporting our rights. If your own communities are strong enough, those members who know people from rural communities might be able to help them out better.
Avatar 11:25pm
Linda Lee:

we have no opposition to the neo-liberal agenda right now. & the Democratic Party is the new Moderate GOP. i have no use for them, myself. i barely feel we have a government! we have an institutionalized redistribution of public resources into private hands, with the legal means for it widened & secured. & that's all we have. government supposedly protects citizens from foreign & domestic enemies, provides for basic individual sustenance & maintains the necessary infrastructure required for societal cohesion. when these simple functions aren't met we have what's called a failed state. half of us are now officially poor! that's what gave us Trump. desperation! nothing else. & he's just another opportunistic douche bag. ..

@Fox: And that's a trickier part. I would like to convince our communit(ies) members, other possible allies, those in power, even those who disagree but might be won over - and all of whom require slightly different messages to reach.

A lobby like that - promise the .01% that Trumpets/Brexiteers will wreck their plans if they keep ignoring the common peoples needs!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

@sugarwolf: Even those who actually have used them still vote for those who hate on food stamps. A long Puritan culture may lead some to be embarassed by using them instead of seeing them as a needing lifeline for whoever might not be earning enough. Has there ever been a Food Stamp Pride march? That's probably too soon to be effective, but any kind of humanizing of FS recepients is needed. Without consistently giving support to them, the haters status-quo will remain.

Avatar 11:42pm
Linda Lee:

what does come from the food stamp program is a hell of a lot of revenue for agribusiness! again, the movement from public resources into private hands. it works well with the general trend. so i don't really see the program successfully eliminated. it's a nice rallying point for people who need to feel superior, though.
Avatar 11:44pm
Linda Lee:

apparently the GOP plan is to force lots of really horrible shit down the people's throats in order just to keep that trend going .. that's all corporate governance is about .. & then shift all the inevitable blame onto Trump, making it politically feasible to dump his ass overboard.
