we need Brad Lander to primary Schumer while teaming up with progressive challengers for Jeffries and Pelosi and they travel around doing events together to boost other progressives in primaries
that cross-endorsement camaraderie really appeals to people. let us imagine a better leadership team!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

The bad news is Bluesky's daily unique liker count is down over a three-month period. The good news is you can just use whatever websites you want to without caring about that kind of stuff for any reason

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."
amazingly fucked up that the NYT is uncritically publishing the claim, “Race has some biological reality.”
that is, definitionally, racism. textbook.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I think it’s important to understand that they aren’t going to crater the economy as part of some 11-dimensional chess move.
They are going to crater the economy because they are very, very stupid, and cannot handle being told “no.”

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

What's really annoying on an existential level is knowing that Elon isn't actually destroying the federal government for ideological reasons, he's doing it for the same reason he lies about playing Path of Exile, which is to impress the shitty little dickheads on the website he ruined

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
