Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP.
Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth.
We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.
Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

For @inthesetimes.com I argued that "New Yorkers will only win the campaign promises Mamdani ran on if they keep the movement that elected him alive." I am so happy to see the 104,000 volunteers are not going home....

In a landmark decision in Canadian law, the Cowichan Tribes in B.C. have obtained Aboriginal title over a portion of land on the Fraser River.
To explain what led to the decision, we need to go back in history to 1853.

If you're a young person, find your people are try stuff. You don't know how it will turn out AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. Failure is a natural part of living. Not something to be scared of. Try shit. Don't sit back and throw stones at others who are trying shit.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

It is honestly an extremely big deal to me that Americans have come through big in beating back the fascist elements in our country. Tonight’s margins plus the drubbing ICE is taking in our best cities is really giving me hope.
