TLDW: A party of centrists who offer little beyond not being fascists needs there to be an opposing fascist party. The fascist party needs a party of technocrats who seem to look down (morally and intellectually) on the masses. So long as authoritarianism remains competitive, everyone can fundraise.

If your city is next, mutual aid and neighborhood watch networks are the most important things to scale up, but whistles are a great tool to get people taking the first step.

When you have no language for, or reject the concept of, what SHOULD be, it turns out that everything that happens feels inevitable and any outcome you can claim you had a hand in feels like success!

That's bad! That's really, really bad!

If the outcomes aren't the most important thing, it's not even politics. Politics is literally about the outcomes. What he's describing here is cosplaying.

“[A] senior officer ordered a tank to demolish a building in an area designated as safe for civilians. ‘A man was standing on the roof, hanging laundry, and the officer decided that he was a spotter. He’s not a spotter. He’s hanging his laundry. You can see that he’s hanging laundry,’ he says.”
"The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDF’s routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts..." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

We were told they couldn’t fight or even talk about anything else because health care was the winning hand.

The only thing the ADL’s ‘Mamdani Monitor’ documents is their own racism, Islamophobia, and defense of the genocidal Israeli government. 🧵

The ADL doesn’t care about tracking antisemitism, they care about surveilling communities working for liberation.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Whelp, evidently not. Dems just flipped the governor’s mansion, AG office, and 13 house of delegates seats in Virginia, the state more affected by the shutdown than any other. I struggle to see what tea leaves the Senate Dems were trying to read? They had the upper hand and struck a bad deal.
👇Dems “won” the shutdown, to the extent something so moronic can be won. The only question is how long it takes for everyone to realize this fact.
The longest shutdown in history might get messier after Dems’ sweeping victories Tuesday.

It’s hard to see many of them wanting to temper the momentum after witnessing a major voter backlash to the GOP.

the problem is that the Senate goofballs thought standing up to Trump was about gaining some negotiating power to pass some half-assed legislation and literally everyone else thinks standing up to Trump is about making him take responsibility for the unpopular stuff he's done and wants to do.

This is why I’ve been insisting Tuesday scared them. They crave a situation where nobody has actual expectations of them. They won big on Tuesday, but not on the centrist’s terms. Angus King: “[It] didn’t work.” Now, after giving up leverage, it’s “party unity, we’re smol beans with no power” again
SENATOR ANGUS KING: "Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. It actually gave him more power."

Can't get the government to promise to bail out AI? Well, entangle AI in Wall Street so much that the government will be forced to bail out both to preserve...the financial system itself.
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

You cannot vote your way out of a system where you cannot stop a live streamed genocide. You cannot. This is not pessimism. We need to rediscover our collective power if we are going to survive on this planet with all our relations.

The status quo delivered us to this moment of fascist acceleration. As Democratic elites in Washington keep proving, they have nothing to offer but behavior that abets and fosters more of the same. Their trajectory is as fixed as the right's.
