    This is very much worth a read. I don&amp;#39;t love the title, and neither does the author, actually. It is a clear-eyed and detailed (but not too long) analysis of what it takes to actually bring about change. https://substack.com/home/post/p-195843786

    @leeloo @TheStoneDonkey If we are voting against assholes with our wallet, then we have to stop driving (which I&#39;ve pretty much done, but that was hard, and not everyone can do it). The thing about voting with your wallet is that unless you are a billionaire, you don&#39;t have equal levarage, because the billionaires can just outbid you. So TBH I do not take voting with my wallet very seriously as a way of changing the world. I do it when I can, but it&#39;s not a hill to die on.

    RE: https://mastodon.ie/@2legged/116473288148696625 Having lived through the 70s homophobia, I can testify to the accuracy of this. Of course, I was a teenager, so I internalized a lot of it without understanding. I hope that teenagers of today have enough information to be able to reject this more readily than I was able to.

    RE: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/116414078285695998 This feels highly relevant to the discussion we had yesterday at Jaarbeurs about digital sovereignty.

    Hm. A nice bit of unanticipated good news on the anti-fascism front: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2026/04/10/giorgia-meloni-and-the-defeat-of-ideology_6752279_23.html If you are not a subscriber, the brief recap is that Meloni tried and failed to &amp;quot;reform&amp;quot; the Italian constitution to be more fascist-friendly. A national referendum on the constitution failed to approve her changes, not by a particularly comfortable margin, but enough to do the job.
