if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Democrats stop being terrified of being called a socialist challenge. They’re going to call you one regardless. When they do say “Yes, that’s right, unlike Republicans I think American society should be defended and nurtured, not demolished by bigots and sold by billionaires and bosses.”

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
