It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.

If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

And ironically the articles chastising people to stay on Twitter won’t even circulate on there or Meta because they both suppress links to journalism! 😂

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own.

If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Great article. It’s a bit unfair at a few minor points, but it mostly hits the nail on the head. Democrats have increasingly missed the moment ever since Obama got elected on change and with huge margins and instead delivered incrementalism. And with every election it’s gotten much worse.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

I only started publishing in 2023 at the age of 40. I ended that year with 4 pub’d stories and a completed MS that I began querying.

I began 2024 by signing with an amazing agent. And I’m ending it with 9 pub’d stories and 8 essays.

Sharing this for anyone experiencing doubt.

Keep going.

Bernie Sanders on the Senate floor just now: The United States government cannot provide weapons to countries that violate internationally recognized human rights or block US humanitarian aid. That is not my opinion, that is what the law says.

You know what he would like even more? Just getting to do what he wants without even needing to do those things, because people preemptively give up their power to him.
While I think it’s a worthy endeavor, this is exactly what Trump wants so he can declare Martial Law, suspend the constitution, bring in the military and it’s all done from there.

States rights and states and cities doing everything to resist is the best hope we have of coming out of this thing with something left to rebuild.

People need to realize that trans people and disabled people are just the frontlines. If they can get the broad public comfortable sacrificing these groups, they’re not going to stop there
Fascists aren't just going after trans folks cause they hate trans ppl. They know for a fact that liberals won't risk anything real to protect trans ppl making it an easy way to legally accumulate power to use on everyone else. This is them sharpening their blade on them for y'all.
