US cities are like “we closed every school, hospital, and social program to give our police force bulletproof cybertucks with rear-mounted railguns and somehow this hasn’t solved our crime and homeless problems”

Centrists would have condemned slave rebellions and concentration camp uprisings too. “Political violence isn’t the answer” applies when we’re discussing tax policy, not when discussing whether somebody with dark skin counts as human.
The inability to see the difference is privilege.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Who else is sick and tired of campaigns? Tired of watching the same old stuff be recycled that we used for Roe - that didn’t change the outcome.
Stop campaigning and start DOING. No more useless emails, no more two hour long marches, no more activism without strategy.

Just so we’re clear: Gavin Newsom is trash and openly fraternizes with far-right bigots. If the Democrats™ nominate him and bully people-with-a-conscience about voting for him “or else you let republicans win” they will yet again lose an extremely winnable election.
So do the right thing.

We can’t ever allow Ranked Choice Voting at a state or national level because it would destroy the forced “choice” between the Evil Capitalist party and the Evil-but-a-little-ashamed-of-it Capitalist party.

I’m glad such a stupid article is getting mocked for calling vacations “micro-retirements”.
The article complains vacations happen every 12-18 months. That’s an insanely long time to work without leisure. Workers should be able to comfortably take 1-2 weeks off work every quarter.

Carville endorsed Cuomo for Mayor. If you’re a Democrat, you should be mad at these guys. How is the party you’ve voted in to make things better when they are propping up the worst people? The people who are blocking the progress we all want?
I think it’s time we stop taking advice from people who haven’t won an election in a year that starts with 2 also do it James- sue me.

Folks need to understand the 2006 era Jon Stewart hypocrisy reels never worked. Republicans and fascists regard us with contempt. They do not care about logical consistency because their entire belief system is: “the law protects but does not bind me. The law binds but does not protect you.”

In the 1940s, the Taft-Hartley Act was passed. This banned sympathy strikes and boycotts, allowed employers to use paid work time to campaign against unionization, ended wildcat strikes, and created right-to-work laws. Yet, this served to do more than just weaken a union's ability to strike. 🧵
