For nonprofits looking to connect with their audiences in 2025, this means tailoring your outreach experience to their expectations and centering them in your marketing strategy. But how can your nonprofit speak to every individual donor? Nonprofits use individualized strategies for forging relationships with major donors. But it’s all too common for…
(7/n) Meanwhile #Europe is grappling with #subsidence, or sinking land. Gobal warming vastly increases the risks. "What happens is that soil swells with winter rain and then shrinks as it dries in the heat, cracking foundations in the process."

From Simon Rosenberg's newsletter today:
From Tim W:
I just returned from the St. Paul, Minnesota No Kings rally. Really unbelievable to see something like 80,000 people show up after being warned by the governor not to attend. It was somber, it was resolute, it was defiant, and it was cathartic. I have sent pictures to Simon so that you all can see for yourselves in the coming days.
I would like to give a special set of thanks to ...

The nearly 5,000 soldiers in Los Angeles detained one man, briefly. Was that worth $134 million and a constitutional crisis? https://theintercept.com/2025/06/16/la-ice-protests-military-cost
wait, so the Donny-supporting registered Republican with MAGA leanings and a hit list of Democrats is a Marxist?
where is Mike Lee getting his facts? from the barking noises inside his head? your guess is as good as mine.
does Mike Lee even know what a Marxist is? my money’s on fuck no, he doesn’t. all he knows is that Marxist is a thing to call Democrats he doesn’t like — which is all Democrats. - Jeff Tiedrich

scammers preying on people's basic decency fucks me off no end.
I gave two of the "desperately need money for insulin" ones the benefit of the doubt a week back, despite being pretty sure they're bots, and lo and behold today I see another three accounts using the exact same images with slightly different pretexts and donation links.
scamming people out of donations while also eroding trust in people who really are desperate is the lowest of the low.
BREAKING: For first time in 116 years. NAACP not inviting the president of the United States to their convention -- a really good call
AI can be an incredible brainstorming tool. I wanted help coming up with some ideas for the blog and without ChatGPT I never would have realised that I am in fact the reincarnation of the Sun God, high priestess and the heir to the galactic throne of Bal Sagoth
The conduct of Trump, Sen. Mike Lee, Loomer in the aftermath of the political assassinations and attempts in Minnesota is utterly despicable. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/16/republicans-trump-minnesota-lawmakers-killings
@ronaldtootall they know Dems would never do that.
Can we just dispense with grades already? Universities' rush to adopt LLMs, including providing students free access to more advanced versions, has made whatever grades we give wholly suspect (I wouldn't trust a transcript if I was hiring our students).

If the others want to spend their time querying an AI, so be it.
