After 3 months that I have created an open letter trying to persuade politicians to leave X, I have just noticed a very interesting number. In 10 days, the petition that endorses the letter got more than 1500 signatures. From that day in, that is more than 80 days, there were less than 1000 new signatures. We have less than 2400 signatures at the moment: openpetition.eu/leavex

There were two people with several followers here on the Fediverse sharing the petition right after it was started, @randahl and @eloquence . I wonder if that's the reason there were so many signatures in a few days, then it faded out. Or maybe there is some network effect when it comes to online petitions.

I still believe that politics is done face to face. Unfortunately, I haven't found an organization to take over the petition, which would make it easier to gather signatures on the streets. I've talked to a few, and I'll keep trying.

The growing influence of its CEO in shaping political narratives and promoting specific ideologies, including altering how content is prioritized to reflect his own interests, has become increasingly apparent.

Y'all

If you're in the #SomervilleMA #CambridgeMA #MedfordMA #ArlingtonMA area and are not reading @cambridgeday.bsky.social

get on it.

If you see the value and have been regularly reading Cambridge Day, and have a little wiggle in the budget, a recurring contribution, even if right now all you can swing is 12 bucks a year, goes a long way to demonstrate your appreciation.

They're a 501c3 #nonprofit, so taxes, and maybe you can get an employer to match?

Politics Canada

The current issue of Maclean's magazine has 25 ideas to cope with Canada's housing crisis. Here's one, remove the profit from housing. That would eliminate the overcommodification of housing by real estate parasites and lessen the flipping and renovictions we're seeing across the country. "In Europe, non-profit housing is for people of all income levels. Why do Canadians think it’s mostly for low-income residents?" #housingcrisis #housing #nonprofit #canada macleans.ca/longforms/how-to-f
