I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Ooof y’all it is rough out there, and I recommend taking a kid in your life to a coffee shop for some levity Seeing a tiny human not know the “social rules” of eating a bagel go on to wrangle a very small to you and big to them mug of hot chocolate just is nice perspective

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Why is this childnin in the video acting as if imprisoned garment workers will ever become paid garment workers? Do they not see that the system of unpaid labor replaces paid jobs? See also firefighters

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.

We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words. In the Phoenix area, 59-year-old Mary gets emotional when she thinks about the loss of blue baby shoes that her son and daughter wore: propub.li/4hEGcgx

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

This is good advice. Might write it out and stick it somewhere. For me, it's my nieces. I fight for a better Texas so they can survive long enough to get the hell away from here when they can.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Great read. I’ve been blown away by the incredible organizing in Chicago over the years to fight deportations and detention expansion. Lots to learn from their efforts and how they are preparing now.

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process

It‘s right to be terrified that they are not even trying to hide where this is all heading. But they are banking on that terror immobilizing us. Be afraid. Be angry. But don’t believe them that we don’t have the power to get in their way. If we didn’t, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to scare us.

Dear white gays™️ Please spend any time wrestling with discomfort and resist the urge to just reach for the first pacifying take you can There are voices worth listening to in all this about not letting anger consume you or “taking breaks”: you just aren’t and cannot be a trustworthy source for that

The richest man in the world being a Nazi and at the right hand of the fascist President is maybe the most potent lesson in the evils of capitalism and the lengths that the ruling class will go to hoard their wealth and keep their power.
