Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

imo the left really needs to put a lot more effort into organizing veterans, especially now. they aren’t a political monolith, and a lot of them are getting screwed over right now.

Really think the left needs to care about blockchain. Having new financial tools, + the ability to create decentralized software is such wasted potential. We should be building a new cooperative high tech future with the latest tools, but some people are still blinded by culture war division.

👋 new Bluesky leftie account here looking to grow a community. How do I do it? A bit about me: - tech/science nerd + developer with an interest in bleeding edge: quantum, blockchain +AI - philosophy/politics PhD grad - serial hobbyist, esp arts, crafts, different kinds of movement + being outdoors

The pro-Israel lobby really lay a lot of the groundwork for fascism. Having organisations in every community and at every level of society which seeks to target individuals who dissent, first with being cancelled/fired and now with deportation, and later with worse… has a lot to answer for imho

Hearing my dog soft bark in his sleep is just the most adorable thing. 🐶 It’s so beautiful that he’s dreaming a whole world up, probably with me in it, the way he’s sometimes in my dreams.

This point isn’t made anywhere near enough: Our ability to recover Russian assets proves a wealth tax is possible when there is political will. It’s obviously not the same thing, but the issue isn’t that there isn’t wealth, or that we don’t know where it is, or that we don’t know how to get it.

We need a new left wing option at the ballot. One that: - feels and taps into the righteous anger - proposes a better future, through concrete plans and policies - isn’t bullied by big parties If Reform can do it, so can we. Our arguments are better and our solutions real. We just need the frontman

One of the last conversations I had before rage quitting X.

I think Trump is an idiot and not this smart. However, I’m also aware I could be wrong, and so it’s best to prepare and act like he’s not an idiot, and that there may be substance to theories like this.

What are the limits to executive orders? Don’t they undermine the point of democracy, with its (supposed) checks and balances? Until this Trump presidency I didn’t realise you could do so much with them, and don’t really understand why you can or what the limit to their power is?
