I miss proofreaders. Why is it my fucking job?..

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is asking Congress to investigate the Trump administration’s plans for “imminent mass layoffs” of as many as 200,000 employees hired within the last two years ago.

    maybe i misunderstood about public membership, i was using “have” to very loosely as in you are encouraged to do it if you dont think you will be under threat from local fascist elements. this is a vaguely remembered thing so maybe i am misremembering or something like that. regardless, see my most recent edit, unless this is like top secret information i find it hard to believe the feds dont have a decent estimate on membership.

    as a side note, does PSL have an internal online forum like the DSA? asking cause i saw someone bring that up in that slop thread about r/dsa and it made me curious, seems like a relatively decent idea to exchange ideas between distant branches to me

    edit: reread my first comment not even sure why i said “required”

      Yeah, in sure they do. But we don’t have to make it easy for them.

      No. That sounds like a mess.

        why? unless psl is somehow hiding some crazy numbers (especially in the military) and are preparing to try stoke the flames during the next period of large civil unrest in the next few years i dont really understand the advantage of feds knowing “somewhere between 5 and 6 thousand members” and psl putting out online that they have 5k plus members.

        No. That sounds like a mess.

        how so? it’s a forum with inherently limited membership and tied to your real identity, moderation burden should be pretty light and provides a unified platform for discussing local tactics and discussing ideas before the party line is decided upon.
