“Millions of voters stayed away from the polls because they didn’t believe that Democratic centrism represents a genuine and progressive alternative...If that’s true, then trying again — with an even more centrist approach — is a recipe for yet another failure.” www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

This should scare the fuck out of anyone. Not hard to figure out why they are targeting these: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Congratulations to the media for the uproar about the Secretary of Defense, the fighter jets, the FBI, HHS & Homeland Security heads being insane morons, Qatari jet gift,(they fund Hamas) the crypto scam & masked ICE agents arresting Black Officials. Guys, Biden was hoarse at a debate. For real.

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like. #BlameTrump

#OTD in 1963, Black youth in Birmingham were attacked with fire hoses & police dogs for protesting segregation. Their courage helped shift the civil rights movement—and the nation. “They are doing a job for all of mankind.” – MLK #TheMarchContinues

For #caturday, here's a snap of Pazuzu, expressing his joy that Australia has rejected Trumpism. He looks totally happy about this result, and NOT as if he's about to bite me. Right? Right..??? #catsofbluesky #auspol #aussieskickass

It is perfectly appropriate and normal to hate Trump, Elon, Vance, RFK Jr, etc. Hating them is an act of love for the people they are trying to erase. I hate MAGA because I believe in the power of positive thinking.

Just a reminder:

Sleep escapes me as every norm of a civilized democracy is ripped away in shocking increments daily. But Duff? He exists in that curious continuum of providing emotional support to his daddy but also, somehow, not giving a fuck. I need to be more like Duff. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Good morning from the White Lives Matter protest in Frisco.

In this month’s edition, SPLC’s Intelligence Project covers rhetoric and incidents of the Hard Right, such as conspiracy propagandism and attacks on public education. Learn more about April’s trends here: https://bit.ly/3GavMrW

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman. Racism...the downfall of America.

For throwback #caturday, here's a pic of my stepbrother's cat in his backyard east of Seattle in 2013. Back in the days when we never thought our country could devolve into a fascist regime. Good times! #catsofbluesky

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Emanuel: Ever since the US showed weakness toward Putin in Ukraine… Within a week or two, China launched an unprecedented naval exercise against our ally Australia... They made unprecedented moves against Japan, against Vietnam, in the Philippine area, and on Taiwan’s straits. They see weakness

For #caturday, here's a throwback picture of Elvis trying to climb over the fence in my parents' yard. His look says it all. #catsofbluesky

Trump just issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator”—that is Elon Musk—access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls. www.gregpalast.com/trump-musk-o...

This sums up the history of the right's decades-long attack on democracy better than anything I've read. Check it out: compoundsecurityunlocked.substack.com/p/the-rest-o...

We gave a short survey to White Christians & asked them to pick between our govt prioritizing economic prosperity with more immigrants or reducing immigration even if it hurts prosperity. Majorities of White Christian nationalists would tank our economy if it meant preserving the ethnic status quo.

How does climate anxiety explain the far right? It's not denial, and science isn't the answer. "Framing disasters within a moral narrative gives an authoritarian agenda powerful justification." thestartingpoints.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Here's Dread Lord Pazuzu, that irascible grump, sitting on @nikki42.bsky.social while #AssassinsCreed plays in the background. The village is burning in the game, much as the world is around us, but that cat just don't care! #catsofbluesky

And yet no one - even in the supposedly liberal media - dare call out racism as one of if not the biggest factors in the right's takeover of our country.

Feels like the main thing you should know about the Democratic Party is that three years ago they controlled a trifecta after Trump tried to launch a coup, and they dismissed everyone who said they should impose accountability and said “no, we know how to beat him at the polls: kitchen-table ads”

On this #caturday, I distract myself from the end of democracy by snapping pics of sweet Lillibet. It's a weird way to cope, I know, but come on just look at that face! #catsofbluesky

An interesting read! compoundsecurityunlocked.substack.com/p/the-maga-p...

In Texas, private firms cash in on property tax late fees, piling debt onto struggling homeowners. www.texastribune.org/2025/03/13/t...

Actually the most important news in our history. If this isn't stopped, democracy is fully and finally over.

The situation in my field goes increasingly desperate, but certain corporate profits just keep going up. A long read but an important one: www.propublica.org/article/ambe...
