Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. ❌👑

This is the smartest thing I've read in ages. By the end I was practically cheering. Every word.
Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.
Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social.

I stand in strong solidarity with workers at Caesars Horseshoe casino in Indianapolis who are on strike against corporate greed.
If Caesars can afford to pay its CEO $18 million and spend $50 million on stock buybacks, it can afford to treat all of its workers with respect.

NYC has a new mayor who’s saying the quiet part out loud:
When workers have ironclad rights, union-busters shrink.
Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social gets it. We’re building a future where workers hold the power and we’re just getting started. ✊🏾💜

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.
