This is a really useful thread for me. I've wanted to find a way to understand the range of political thinking, beyond the bubble of Ithaca, NY. I'm glad to be reminded that "self-organization" does indeed invite all voices into the space, where we listen with respect without having to agree.

Mmm? I read Jeff’s comment differently, satirically, referring to T-supporters’ QAnon conspiracy theory. With the insurgence having successfully gone as far as it did, why didn’t T go all the way, with a complete coup? Everything was in place, the capitol besieged, so why didn’t T pull the

Hi folks. The voice that I used for that post was that of my cousin, whom I love very much. He is, like me, a white American with twelve generations of ancestry in Maryland and West Virginia, until our grandfather moved to California. I was reflecting on the theme of the upcoming online OS

All Jeff is doing is reminding us what the Qanon expectations were for the Trump administration. It’s total lunacy, but it’s central part of the Qanon litany. Sent from my iPad > On Jan 13, 2021, at 11:22 PM, Patricia Haines via OSList > wrote: > >  > I thought Open Space was about
