Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

I’ve spent the last 3 days tracking right-wing influencers morning and night. What I found is a machine, not a movement. Every day follows the same rhythm of fear, outrage, and punishment. It’s emotional conditioning disguised as news. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

I lived in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland during when Trump last declared war on the city. Proud to boast of my combat veteran status, and to share some images from those Days of Infamy (more in the comments):

Since antifa is being classified as a terrorist organization, I thought it important to note that the domain (antifa.com) appeared initially under a St. Petersburg, Russia address in July of 2016. Where it remained until 2020 when it was transferred to a Panama address *after* the connection made.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.
Collective boycott.
Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
