I have been thinking a lot about how becoming more informed and aware over the next four years in a way that’s really useful might mean more books about history and less getting sucked into the daily firehose of bad news which is the present

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

No pres, no single person, simply through their own existence, more exposed the hollowness & hypocrisy of the religious right more than Carter. Married nearly 8 decades, was profoundly religious, spoke & wrote about his faith extensively & DID THE WORK And the “values voters” utterly despised him

Ruth Wilson Gilmore's concept of "organized abandonment" is useful here: the intentional disinvestment and neglect which creates group-level vulnerability to premature death. Organized abandonment kills more people than interpersonal violence, and it's not even close. It's worse.

How has no one produced a Thomas Nast-style cartoon of Brian Thompson (United Healthcare ceo) dressed as Marie Antoinette saying "let them eat cake" yet?

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I hope everyone in Biden's orbit remembers that SCOTUS granted presidents immunity from all actions taken while in office - and gets to work.

In Nevada, the GOP is succeeding in throwing out the votes of thousands of young people. If you're in Clark or Washoe county, answer your phone tonight. It may be election officials, calling to cure the defect in your mailed-in ballot.

But, what if... The poll numbers aren't real... Just a ploy to keep us clicking? What if it's not even close? #bluewave #harrisforpresident #savedemocracy

Just as a reminder: you definitely know someone who has had a miscarriage, you probably know someone who has had a 1st-trimester abortion, and you may know someone who has had a "late-term" abortion. Women don't often share their stories and they shouldn't have to.

Personally, I think it's bad that two weeks out from the election, we're not sure if the "fascist to the core" rapist candidate running on an ethnic cleansing agenda is going to win.

Just screaming into the void here... I'm livid that media is handing every single headline to TFG. It's not mobilizing, it's not scaring people into voting - it's just giving him the press he desperately craves, while also creating the illusion of inevitable dominance.

It's funny how prominent men have to prove again and again that they're shallow thinkers before anybody believes it and smart women have to prove every day of their lives that they aren't and get treated like they are anyway

Elon Musk is a threat to democracy. Democrats should: 1. Boycott X. Congressional Dems should announce together they will stop using X while Elon is in charge. 2. Call for a review of his government contracts. 3. Call for regulators to take action on SpaceX's monopoly control of rocket launches.

My beautiful, brilliant, passionate student, Aysenur Eygi, will never be forgotten. And how this administration chooses to handle this atrocity will, must, be watched closely. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/11/w...

Its the 2024 election for control of the most powerful military industrial complex in the world and the candidates are the rapist with 34 felonies, the vice president lady and the guy controlled by half a worm who drives around with dead bears in his backseat, did I get that right?
