She ties environmental destruction - focusing on lead, copper, and arsenic - to crime in such a compelling way. It’s an incredible read.

Mamdani didn’t just fail to support Dem presidential nominees VP Harris and President Biden in last year’s existentially urgent campaign, he spoke out and organized against them. In March of 2024, Mamdani urged voters to withhold their vote from Biden.

…then if they were R’s instead. They were frustrating as F.

The lesson isn’t ‘just elect a Republican’ the lesson is for the PEOPLE to understand democracy is a lifetime commitment and the PEOPLE need to do the work & exercise their power.

Well, there you go

Again, that’s privilege speaking and whether or not you want to look at that, let alone do the work to change that only you can answer but what it does reveal that thinking is damaging to a lot of people & communities

Even with S & M, Dems were still able to pass & do more...

…it’s setting the conditions for the fight that is going to happen no matter what

Only the privileged would argue that what we’re experiencing is ‘worth it’

Unfortunately the privileged live in denial and think they aren’t on the menu so they typically refuse to vote for harm reduction for others

Breaking the cycle is what we’re experiencing now

Primaries are real. Voters need to be engaged every day. The choice isn’t just on election day, it’s who is rising, who is active in the community, who are people championing, are they volunteering, etc...

It’s NOT about the candidate...

…promise, how will they do it in the least favorable conditions, what compromises will they make, which communities are they willing to harm to get what they are promising, etc., etc., etc.

Why was Kenyatta left behind by volunteers & voters when he was arguably a much better candidate?

Fetterman’s racism was well known well before he ran and I’d argue someone who did what he did then lied about it isn’t actually a progressive so it doesn’t matter what he presents himself as…past is prologue

Will they fight is only scratching the surface. HOW will they accomplish what they...

Like life, voting is always abt harm reduction

“We don’t vote for our favorites, it’s not about the candidate or a perfect platform. Voting is setting the conditions for our fight.” - Brittany Packnett Cunningham

If WE don’t want moderates in power, WE need to screen better & work our tails off

We need people to be more like him:

1) be willing to speak up and fight regardless of the odds
2) vote in every election, your entire ballot
November 11, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Yah but there’s zero reason to not try to get the ones who aren’t all in on screwing over their constituents
November 11, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Yeah, John Lewis was wrong, if we think we’ll lose we should just sit down and let it happen

Hang on to your demand for a ‘mildly worded letter’ and then be mad when he issues a 'mildly worded letter’ and for some bizarre need for 100% perfection for every person in the USA as if politicians are Santa Claus, you’ll help keep fascism healthy.
