Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

I feel like so much of our politics can be explained by the fact that Daniel Perry is hanging out with Trump and Vance, while the liberal establishment is flummoxed by Luigi Mangione’s appeal.

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

Back in my day, when we couldn't deal with medical debt, we didn't murder CEOs, we started cooking meth to follow a character arc that led us to become villainous cartel bosses to kill, or be despised by, everyone we love only to be defeated by our own hubris.

I have lost the ability to tell if news organizations are actually this out of touch, this uncaring about fact-checking or context, or if this is an editorial agenda to terrify the people who would benefit most from universal healthcare, the elderly.

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

The thing that blows my mind about the UHC CEO hit is that it is clear, by their changes in conduct — not business conduct, obvi, but conduct in the way they present themselves and make themselves known — that the public sentiment about the leadership of UHC was BRAND NEW INFO to that leadership
