Dang it must be nice to live in a blue state like Washington State where you can actually pass progressive policy (New Hampshire is occasionally blue, but in a more volatile fashion, with a bunch of moderates)

Seismic retrofitting! Glad we don’t really have to worry about that in NH… although, then again, if it’s an excuse to rebuild buildings in a manner that improves them in other ways, too, maybe it’s actually good that they have to worry about that?

So yeah I know incrementalism can be controversial but I actually agree with @RepDuerr that it can be good; the key is that you have to just never let up with it rather than letting yourself get satisfied with the increments you’ve achieved.

I think one of the reasons a lot of people distrust incrementalism is that many politicians use it as cover for refusing to push for more. It doesn’t have to be used that way, though, you can use incrementalism as a pathway to actually get to your bigger/bolder goals eventually

I’ve wanted to do a tenant organizing bill of my own here in NH to give tenants’ unions some official protections; hopefully there are some ideas I can steal here!

sounds like people are attempting to draw a distinction between #SocialHousing and currently-existing public housing… as I already live in public housing, I’m ok w/it as it is… like, yeah, I have my complaints with my apartment, but those just require some tweaks, not a rebrand
Permalink On twitter.com 2021 Jul 28 Mood +3 🙂

…in reply to @cooljeanius
but, then again, if doing an entire rebrand would work better and help get those tweaks enacted, then fine, let’s do the entire rebrand. #SocialHousing it is then!

so… does JP Morgan Chase not actually have a Twitter account? Guess they must want to avoid everyone on this site yelling at them all the time, lol (JP Morgan Chase sucks)

Paul Hodes had a proposal for public banking in his campaign last year; I hope @BeckyWhitleyNH picks it up for him…

Political cooperatives are nonprofit corporations that… ok she’s going kinda fast here; I’ll have to rewatch this part (the part about how they’re legally structured)

so yeah the Progressive Caucus in Illinois sounds a lot more organized than the one we have here in NH’s legislature; I blame the pandemic for killing our organizing…

sounds like there’s some differences between how some of the featured states (RI/IL/PA) do things… and that’s ok! Different states have different needs.

“Liberation” is in contrast to our current oppression-based and exploitation-based economy

“Liberation” = power + participation for people who have traditionally been excluded/marginalized
