The economy is not a force of nature, we can change it to make it work better for everyone. We can’t fix everything but we can make the economy less hostile towards a fulfilling and good life.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

When CA launched Prop 50, it was polling at 38%. And so, we did it anyway. Winning campaigns requires that your GOALS define your actions, recognizing opinion - including who agrees to vote - is malleable. In other words, be a thermostat, not a thermometer.

The number of people who think you can only hold *Republicans* to account is vastly smaller than it was even a few days ago.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

My wife and I have often* discussed what would happen if Genovia ever came into conflict with Aldovia from the Christmas Prince movies, and whether either monarch is prepared to order men to die for them.
*maybe three times
*maybe three times
Enough space politics, its time to consider why the country of Genovia from the Princess Diaries is almost monolingually English speaking and what its relationship is to the EU, particularly given it is technically an absolute monarchy

Are you starting fights on the Bluesky like it’s 1999.
one of the most stunning things about the past twelve months is that to some Democrats, nothing is more disloyal than demanding that they fight fascism harder

apparently it's a win to get Republicans to fund SNAP at present levels for the fiscal year, which was never in question from the start given that they already passed SNAP cuts kicking in the following fiscal year.
Indeed it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to blame Dems for getting senate repubs to pass a different bill that provides relief for kids and families when repubs could have just passed the house bill. But some of y'all are conditioned to blame dems instead of repubs and the voters who gave em power
The mental gymnastics are absolutely amazing.
