Crazy-making that Dem candidates don’t run on nuking scam PACs and spammers from orbit. Every grassroots donor and primary voter loathes this shit
Hi folks. Just to be clear, a date has not yet been announced for the next No Kings. If a PAC you’ve never heard of asks for donations to “organize” it, please block and report them

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Weasely Dems think you can split the baby on this -- oh, just a little discrimination at the high school sports level, but not elsewhere! We defend trans kids here, or here, but not here.
RWers understand the dynamic better. If you open the door to hate, it doesn't stop in the first antechamber!

Don't listen to centrist pundits who are urging Democrats to stop talking about climate and clean energy. Instead, center messaging on these issues in themes about affordability and the harms that communities are experiencing when oligarchs put profits over people.
Some pundits claim replacing climate with affordability messages is the way for Dems to win. But climate is driving unaffordability (like with home insurance), voters trust Dems on climate, & solution exist that center people not CEOs. That’s a layup. @newrepublic.com

Here’s the Climate Message That Can Help Democrats Win Big in 2026
Rising home insurance costs are making life unaffordable for both homeowners and renters. Robust climate policy and public disaster insurance could save many households’ finances.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

I think it helps to remember that the majority of Americans are illiterate and it's only getting worse, meaning half of the people yelling at you don't actually know what you're saying, but the words on the screen fill them with rage

Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

It’s important to think of this systemically. Women are less likely to land managers and agents to begin with, and then less able to be able to transform successes or even jobs into higher visibility and more attention in the town. The reason they do so well in contests is many are read blind.
The number of women screenwriters on this years Blacklist is... abysmal?
Why aren't more women percolating up to fav unproduced screenplays in LA when women fill the contests, workshops, labs, and other unpaid opportunities.
Are women getting read in the right places to cut through?

“This works for art and music too. AI can’t produce anything great because it will never have imposter syndrome.”
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

REPEAT AFTER ME (but really, after Neil Kraus):
Wage stagnation and underemployment are not problems that education can fix. We cannot "upskill" students into well-paying jobs that do. not. exist.

Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
