The relationship between Capitalism and Authoritarian govt are abusive.
There are 4 common factors enabling people to leave abusive relationships:
1. Recognizing the pattern of abuse.
2. Accepting support.
3. Protecting children.
4. Fear and exhaustion.

1. There are three very important constraints on tonight's Mamdani victory you have to keep in mind when we're looking at what he's going to be able to do in office (taking him in good faith as someone who wants to make life better for people and discounting Trump).

Some questions about the Alaska Permanent Fund:
1) Is the Alaska permanent fund a Socialist program?
2) Could another state (or county, or town) establish something similar (obviously not around fossil fuel development)?

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

If you would sacrifice Trans rights to take power then you cannot be trusted with power.
There clearly aren’t enough trans people who vote democrat to make up for the voters who left due to the support of trans rights. If there were, we wouldn’t have an orange idiot in the WH. We won’t be able to be a viable party as long as we so openly support trans rights.

The union is not the contract or the lawyers. The union is the solidarity among workers and an organized plan for how to respond to employer abuses.
"Workers’ greatest power has always been in direct action against employers. Legal remedies are just one tool in the broader struggle. Today, with the Board’s enforcement capacity under threat, the importance of shop floor power is clearer than ever." labornotes.org/blogs/2025/1...
Viewpoint: Attacks on U.S. Labor Rights Should Be an International Scandal
The National Labor Relations Board, the only federal agency charged with enforcing private-sector workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively, is facing a constitutional crisis. On August 19, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the structure protecting NLRB administrative law judges (ALJs) and Board members from presidential removal violates the Constitution’s separation of powers. Workers’ greatest power has always been in direct action against employers. Legal remedies are just one tool in the broader struggle.

Pritzker is a billionaire and billionaires are bad.
If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

When a person encounters ICE the stakes are disappearing to a concentration camp w/ no due process. With those stakes on the table fleeing, even if an agent is harmed in the attempt, starts to make more sense.

When considering an act of resistance the question is not "is this safe for me?"
The question is "Will this advance the struggle for liberation?"
