Hey friends, I'm doing my best to make it easy for folks to come here and find their communities. I've got two starter packs so far - one with general left-ish activists and leaders, and one with folks working on union issues. Links in chat, and if you'd like to be added to one let me know!
Love when my family doesn't listen then gets mad when they don't understand the thing I was telling them.

No, my 2 teens and the 21yo are not the most consistently guilty parties for this behavior, nor are they the most belligerent when faced with why they didn't understand 🤣

FIFA “peace prize” winner finds a country (that didn’t qualify for World Cup finals) to bomb on Christmas Day.
Symbolic air strikes, whether in Syria or Nigeria, will not defeat ISIS. Many of Trump’s other actions, from cutting foreign aid to trying to eliminate online moderation, are actually undermining the struggle against ISIS and other terrorist groups. As i just wrote: wapo.st/4qrV8U5

I want to ask the flipside question: what will it take for wealthy progressives to fund the infrastructure and entities needed to identify, support, and sustain emerging voices on *our* side of the aisle?
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.

Notably, $420k was incentive-based.

A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.

I wonder what the per-post rate is?

House Democrats are undermining the party's chance to run against Trumpian graft by prioritizing the protection of their own corrupt incumbents. Our @dylangyauchl.bsky.social makes the case for @prospect.org.

i can't believe the number of people in my life who are enthusiastically using Chat GPT for therapy, to analyze text conversations with partners, get advice on disputes with neighbors etc.

CBS pulled a fully vetted 60 Minutes investigation three hours before air.

The internal explanation leaked—and confirmed the allegations.

I break down what happened, why it matters, and what it says about press freedom right now.

Would have loved to see her launch with this but I'll take it. Getting off Elon's Fascist Funhouse should be the easiest win in the world for any Democratic campaign.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

What she wants more of is Stephen Miller on camera explaining why it’s good to torture immigrants
Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Wow—
“Government silence is a statement…If the standard for airing a story becomes
‘the government must agree to be
interviewed,’ then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.”
