Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It is fucking WILD just how the public is openly and loudly talking about how much they want this one guy dead. Like we really have not seen this level of open populist rage in a long time. Love to see it.

DEI is fascistcode for “the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” That’s what’s under attack. Don’t let them lull you into thinking that it’s “only” policies aimed at addressing the white patriarchal ableist mediocrity that has been our nation’s default and giving others an equitable shot. (“Only,” ha.)

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

Privatisation is a disaster wherever it is implemented precisely because billionaires like Musk turn it into avenues for their own personal profit. Take off the MAGA blinders and there's no public support for this at all... but that's fascism, an unpopular movement by capitalists for capitalists.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

there has never been a past without trans people and there won’t be a future without them either, no matter what. no law can change that. i refuse to allow them to talk about people i love like that.

"Kamala lost because not enough folks voted for her." While true, just remember, the presidential elections in the USA always come down to the same 100,000 votes in 4 to 7 different states. Those 100,000 people decide the President for over 300 million people. That is the USA.

It is actually so fucking annoying when people tell me “it’s too late to solve climate change” as if a) all 8 billion people on this planet are about to drop dead and b) if we oriented the economy around need instead of profit we wouldn’t be able to get things under a reasonable level of control

Capitalism consistently and relentlessly demonstrates that the environment is of secondary importance to private capital. No one anywhere on the planet supports this, not even the Trump supporters! It is only through its commodification and abstraction that we end up with these decision being made.

Unabashed corruption, or in other words the natural culmination of the capitalist project. When everything's for sale, why wouldn't that stop at the government? Pay a fee and pick a policy...

it would be great if we had a democratic party willing to go out and say “this is an insane lie to get you to irrationally hate a minority group trying to just exist peacefully” rather than start throwing us under the bus and twiddling their thumbs

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

Most useless people on the planet. Boot them out of the party by force and be done. The planet doesn't have time for the Democrats to shift rightwards again!

Seriously: If you're a Democrat, this is the ground you have won on. being unequivocally pro trans rights is the easiest, no brainer popularist position to take. Every one of your constituents knows a trans person. This is a wedge issue between all the normal people and a few Republican fanatics.

The Covid pandemic accelerated this. It supercharged the idea that there are entire groups of people who are not worthy of protection. Not worthy of life. Acceptable losses. If we don’t start acknowledging that and changing the narrative, the hate and division will only continue to grow.

Watched “Mississippi Burning” tonight in honor of Gene Hackman. Holy crap that movie is truth and has incredible relevance right now. If you’re looking for a way to understand why so many people are acting so afraid right now, watch this movie about 1960s Jim Crow.

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

Right wing politics are little more than feeling good about making everyone else miserable. These guys will drive themselves and the rest of a planet off a cliff if it scores them a few points in their pointless "culture wars". What a joke we're stuck with this for world politics.
