Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear.

Disappoint them.

How do we turn this shit around? We fight to prevent the worst from happening, but we can't mobilize around protecting the status quo when it's what's pissed off so many. This moment requires aspirational politics. Offer a vision worth fighting for. That vision must include universal basic income.

@kylekulinskishow.bsky.social now that you're finally on here, I really think you and other political influencers need to consider a run for some sort of office. Like it or not, you are the leaders of the left wing movement. You're passing the buck by trying to get Jon Stewart to run.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

The president of the United States scammed his own supporters out of tens of billions of dollars with a shitcoin and it was a story for a day and everybody just moved on. This country is beyond cooked.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

We need a NEW New Deal...
- end Citizens United (MONEY OUT OF POLITICS)
- free college
- living wage / UBI
- 4 day work week
- Medicare 4 All
- subsidies 4 GREEN energy (not big oil)
- make monopolies and private equity ILLEGAL
- end private prisons and the war on drugs
Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.
