Centrism prevents the rise of a real left that will tax wealth fairly. They haven't got a better plan: they mean to *prevent*
So, predictable talk of their 'big tent' after Mamdani's victory, no thanks, I want a real left, not a fake Ezra Klein business-friendly Third Way TED-talking nonsense left

there simply isn't enough coverage of the fact that, as a matter of ideology and public policy, trump and his administration think domestic violence is good
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

There are 19,000 cities & 3,000 counties in America. Republicans can't control them all. They can't sue them all. Pass your $20 minimum wage. Implement it now... Repeatedly make them be the assholes ripping benefits from people, publicly and often.
Republicans Broke Democracy. Here's How to Fix It Without Them.
In November 2023, Ohio Republicans watched in horror as 57% of their voters enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution.

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?
If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

If you look at the Epstein story through the lens of his victims and their life stories you get a story about every powerful institution in public life failing on any measure of accountability but repeatedly being outmatched by the courage of teenagers, sex workers, and runaways

Wealth concentration is evil. Monetary wealth is a proxy for resources, and resource hoarding results in suffering and death for the multitudes who can no longer access hoarded resources.
Their dirty hands are all around the world. Stripping value from companies, value from life. Extracting money from both people and govts; squirreling enormous profits offshore, which just sit there, accumulating.

Lots of people still feel strongly that COVID came from a lab. Conspiracy theorists say that this has even been confirmed. And still many believe things about this story that just aren’t true. Here is the truth as best we know it.

This headline blames women & defines declining fertility as a problem. A smaller global population & footprint on the planet benefits the environment. There is also more individual freedom, women's economic empowerment & less adolescents giving birth. www.npr.org/2025/07/07/n...
As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges
Far more families are choosing to have fewer — or no — children. Many countries, including the U.S., now face a rapidly aging population that could begin to shrink.

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!
