Seeing Around Corners
The phrase "seeing around corners" gets tossed around boardrooms and strategy meetings as though it were a compliment, a kind of secular beatification for the executive or thinker who got there first. But the phrase deserves closer scrutiny, because what it actually describes is a discipline, and one that most people refuse to practice because the conclusions it produces are uncomfortable.

Good thoughts.
My old blog post on the topic

Vor einem Monat liefen im Iran die Massaker an tausenden Protestierenden.
Und in dieser Lage schickte Trump diese Botschaft, die vielen die falsche Hoffnung vermittelte, die USA würden sie beschützen: "Help is on it's way"
Keine Hilfe kam. Bis heute nicht.
Man könnte urteilen, Trump hat die Iraner verraten.

People were jumping into action here in Minneapolis — droves of people, comfortable people, white people — not in mid-January, but in •early December•. (And the groundwork started much earlier!)
Community meetings overflowing. Signal groups exploding. Observer trainings filling day after day after day. Mutual aid networks popping up like mushrooms. On and on.
Why? Because we saw brown and Black neighbors being dragged from their cars, dragged from their homes, stalked, terrorized, •kidnapped• with barely the slimmest shadow of due process or legal oversight.

Signal can help you organize a group
I have been amazed at the stories about neighbors helping neighbors in Minneapolis and in other towns and cities. Nothing can replace the courage and kindness of the people who have risen to the occasion to help others. And one tool they use to organize their neighbors and friends is Signal.
