Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

I joined Bluesky exactly two years ago and I wrote a piece about my thoughts on the platform - how it's been coming along so far and where it seems fated to go. Thanks for reading.

If I could change one thing about US culture, it would be this unshakeable and absolutely backward belief that life must be earned, and generating profit is how you earn it.

Life is a human right. Profit must be earned, and those who want to earn it must respect human rights in order to do so.

Don't have anything new to say about AI here. One thing I will say is that higher ed has long been broken. If elites had spent more time thinking through the point of education and how well we really do it than stoking woke panic, maybe we wouldn't be staring at this abyss. nymag.com/intelligence...

The only thing the tech industry creates anymore is fake hype cycles to artificially inflate their stock price. And in the meantime we all get inflicted with their bullshit as everyone is told "it's the next big thing and you don't want to miss out!"

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

‘Everyone is terrified’: Business and government officials are afraid to cross Trump on tariffs
While lobbyists, business leaders, and lawmakers are worried about Donald Trump’s tariffs, there’s a culture of fear in Washington preventing many from speaking out.

Democrats stop being terrified of being called a socialist challenge.

They’re going to call you one regardless. When they do say “Yes, that’s right, unlike Republicans I think American society should be defended and nurtured, not demolished by bigots and sold by billionaires and bosses.”
Every elected Democrat will acknowledge that the GOP has held an overwhelming media advantage since at least Obama. Somehow they fail to make the connection that everyone who's weathered a competitive election was *successfully* painted as trans Stalin gay married to Pelosi, and they won anyway

it's not that courage, independence, dignity etc are specifically *male* characteristics, anyone can have them, they're just *one* way to be a man that is healthier than being a neurotic pants pissing baby obsessed with policing the behavior of others bsky.app/profile/chri...
My grandfather, who I dearly loved, was a conservative Republican to his last days. But he was also always his own man. And he didn't whine.

If all these dudes are looking for a throwback model of masculinity to adhere to, maybe start with that
