Abdul El-Sayed had campaigned on a boldly progressive agenda of universal healthcare, halting military aid to Israel and sweeping campaign finance reform.
The moderate Stevens had received $60m from outside groups,
including $30m from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) and its affiliates.
It was the latest and possibly biggest tremor in a political earthquake consuming the Democratic party.
Its leftwing insurgency was no longer confined to deep blu…

We are facing global petro-fascism, centered in the US. We have to start threat modeling like an insurgency.
There are two basic goals an insurgency needs to keep in mind at all times: minimize the collateral damage in attacks against the opponent, maximize collateral damage in attacks from the opponent.
A successful insurgency will carefully target their enemy, specifically focusing on the most obvious infrastructure and symbols of oppression.
Meanwhile, they will make sure that their own infrastructure is intermixed with the general population.
What does this mean concretely? Minimize "anarchist hosting." Hosting should be free to community projects of all types. It should be inclusive. When it's shut down, it should take as many other groups with it as possible. This radicalizes other groups.
Optimally, it should provide cheap hosting for small businesses and cheap or free hosting for small community organizations.
There also needs to be a backup plan, because things *will* be attacked...

State Attorney General Phil Weiser
won the Democratic nomination for governor of Colorado,
upsetting Sen. Michael Bennet
in the latest example of Democratic voters rebelling against the party’s establishment.
The triumph makes Weiser a strong frontrunner to win the governorship in November
in a state which has become reliably Democratic at the presidential level

The Democratic Insurgency Just Took Out A Major Democrat’s Bid For Governor
Attorney General Phil Weiser defeated Sen. Michael Bennet in a major upset in Colorado's gubernatorial primary.

A/I had scale. They managed lots of things, so they could have lots of people working together. This is critical to maintaining secure infrastructure. It simply takes a lot of people to do the work.
You have to be able to patch fast, which means you need someone on a pager able to take work on a weekend. This kind of thing destroys people unless you have at least 4-6 people just on patch duty.
That doesn't count other maintenance, security analysis, customer support, etc. This is a *huge* amount of work.
Tech scales up well, and down poorly. But insurgency becomes the easiest to stop when it's scaled and centralized.
An answer to this problem is "federation." Informal federations, or even formal federations that focus on shared infrastructure and separate management can solve the scaling problem without creating an easy legal target....

January 6 2021 is widely remembered as a deadly insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump;
But for Congressman Jared Huffman, who was locked down alone in his office that day, something else stands out.
It was a very Christian coup.
“This Christian nationalist movement that I had seen growing so much stronger and more militant during my time in Congress erupted in plain view,”
Huffman, 62, says by phone from his home in Marin county, California.
“I truly belie…

‘A Bible-sized blind spot’: congressman sounds alarm on rising Christian nationalism
In his new book, congressman Jared Huffman argues that theocratic insurgency has only grown more powerful after Donald Trump returned to the White House
