If liberals and moderates spent half as much time fighting fascists as they do fighting leftists, we would have a decent chance of getting out of this mess.

They’ve always done it anyway (car chases, no-knock warrants, sidewalk parking, horses). It took me a full day to realize how they meant that phrase to sound. If they really wanted to reform and fix, they would have already. This is just Frey propaganda.

This is an excellent article on the energy usage of so-called AI both now and in the near future. And what they show is that the rush to AI basically promises to undo nearly all of the progress we've made towards reducing the impacts of climate change.

if you're doing an extension virtual convening on climate and your plan is to introduce a "cutting-edge AI tool that makes national program data searchable via ChatGTP" then you're not really understanding climate work, my dudes

so much of everything we’re seeing right now comes down to class conflict, which explains why the ideas of actual progressives feels so threatening to the wealthy and white

Today, I watched the DFL endorse a republican in blue clothing, while her supporters yelled about removing socialists and literally attacked folks. The Minneapolis DFL is a microcosm of the Democrats. It shouldn’t be radical to support labor (it’s in the name!) or renters.

Shaffer answers a question about how candidates will represent renters by talking about how she’ll work with Landlords.

Good morning! It’s a perfect day to realize that the politics you’re used to are gone and never coming back so you can either think about what you want the future to look like and try to build toward that or keep trying to wishcast the country back to 1998 and be part of the problem.

saw a group of kids racing their bikes down hennepin and honestly, it was great - this is the kind of shit safe bike infrastructure is built for. not everyone (and especially the youngest) should have to take the risk of painted lanes.
