HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

I have so many thoughts on this: 1. I am curious how many folks on the left/middle now feel OK to say they are spiritual AND religious. 2. Wondering about the conservative targeting of boys/young men. 3. My controversial take is a decline in religious spaces has made us less tolerant.

It's wild to watch my mother who has been so large in my life in ways I won't get into now shrink away. Losing 50 pounds in less than 7 months amongst other loses is profound to witness.

watching folks toast their VIP/extravagant vacations and thanking God like they haven't read the Bible and what the Lorde does in terms of blessings. the prosperity gospel is so insidious.

Amen to this interview with Marshall Ganz. "Structural change is rooted in people, human beings, and the power we can create with each other when we find values we share, and our capacity to turn those values into sources of power."

Cannot believe this image is 7 years old. These two changed my life and are a big reason why I now call the Southeast home. Thank you @aallyahpatrice.bsky.social and Kelsey (who I don't think is on here) for scheming with me in Indianola, Mississippi and beyond.

can we stop writing thought pieces about people and instead do the work with them, offer the how you did it so people can try themselves? I agree with the headline/subhead of this piece most of what's written is verbal vomit and missing the point/practical plot www.cjr.org/analysis/ame...

Part of the problem is that organizing is actually difficult. Many people don't want to do hard things.

When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective

People are put off by leftist culture and behaviors, not by the politics. I also think social media behavior amplifies certain behaviors over others— purity testing over collaboration, calling out vs in, etc — which aren’t “leftist” but general contemporary political engagement behaviors.

This came up during a panel of movement elders (72 yo and up) last month. Both how the internet and then the professionalization/isolation track (what universities have become) took the teeth out of the Left. Folks make the wrong sacrifices/risks for the sake of their ego.

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

I went to look at a house this weekend just for fun/to get over a fear and all I kept thinking was if we have normalized understanding a leasing agent vs. a seller agent vs. a buyer agent and all the other nonsense that goes into buying a house we can get down with various expressions of gender.
