your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.
According to the Whitehouse, TikTok's new U.S. entity would lease and "retrain" TikTok's fame algorithm from Chinese owner ByteDance under the terms of a yet-to-be-completed deal between the U.S. and China. www.axios.com/2025/09/22/t...

i need to move to a country that is experiencing mass religious psychosis, violent civil rights erosion, and a hyperconsolidation of economic and political power among the moneyed elite. But I ALSO need it to be opposed in name only by a coalition of feckless aristocrats. Does anyone know of one?

Evaluate honestly the number of Dem candidates, at any level in any state, who are using terms like "birthing person" or "heteronormative" to the number using phrases like "bipartisan solutions" or "reaching across the aisle" and tell me which language is tin-eared and alienating to normal people.
Scoop: Third Way is circulating a memo, shared first with @playbookdc, featuring a new blacklist of words Dems shouldn’t use.

I don't know how many people know this:
If you ever see a story coming out of the USA, about people getting in trouble with the law for feeding the homeless, many of those laws were in direct retaliation to the Black Panthers setting up food banks and community centers for children and the poor.

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.
When (some) people talk about bringing back manufacturing, they mean "bring back steel & auto jobs that someone can take right out of high school, and live a middle class life"
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t)
and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!
