Oh hey! We know that guy!

For the Netroots community, for everyone who knew @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social when he was a guy posting on DailyKos and SSP as "brownsox" who loved writing about elections, today is a joyous day as he's been elected to the Cambridge School Board with the strong backing of the local teachers' union.

Here's why No Kings is good for organizing. Ladder of Engagement is the concept that you move people from an easy to do, low bar asks up a pathway towards doing more challenging things that require higher commitment. #NoKings activated a huge world of people with a new action. What happens next 🧵

“When the call for volunteers went out, 500 community members stepped up, filling more than 1,000 shifts at nearly 100 schools on Chicago’s northwest side. This “guardian angel” movement has continued to grow, and volunteers have shown up in droves daily at school pick-up and drop-off locations.”

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

I don't think it's going to work out in the way they think because what they are doing is to actually promote the protest and the date in a way that the organizers can't on their own. So lots of people will now be searching: October 18 protest who would have had no clue before.

Context: debating if its bad idea on Monday to send a Last Call email blast inviting folks to my training on Weds or wait till Tuesday even though it’s last so minute. bit.ly/emailstrateg...

To other folks in the USA working in the nonprofit sector: are you off work Monday?
