I used chatgpt to imagine Barry Goldwater debating Howard Zinn about the Senate's budget bill. I also invited three other historical figures in American politics, and I'll be honest: I was surprised.

Use their constituent offices as mutual aid hubs from 6 am to midnight. Invite constituents to drop by to share stories about what they are currently doing to support themselves and OTHERS at this time. Members could create a collective asset map using all info gathered. Compile it & share it back.

Berating allies and lifting up dictators isn’t a show of strength. Russia is not our friend. Studying history, students learn Russia sided with the Nazis until Hitler decided it was a good idea to attack them too. It was after that Russia joined allied forces. www.advocate.com/politics/ruf...

Personally, I have been opposed to the war in Ukraine from the beginning, and wanted a quick negotiated end to it and a ceasefire, but it is perfectly possible to hold those views without being openly pro Russia, and anti Ukraine, or parroting Putin talking points. Sheesh.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

On brand for these folks, who only care about their next dirty dollar. Only Apple and Costco are standing up on this issue, though they have or will have to at some point compromise too www.wsj.com/finance/bank...

DEI is good. Immigration is good. Helping refugees is good. Creating Sesame Street for the Iraqi kids we traumatized is at least 1/2 step in the right direction. Protecting consumers from corporate abuse is good. These are all wholly defensible and have supporting facts and stories in abundance.

We’re building the networks, the resources, the connections, alongside over 12,000 coalition members. We need your insights & help to get the word out about this movement. When we’ve met our first goal (Phase 1), we craft specific demands. When we hit 11 million, we strike. #uspolitics #strike

Did you know? We are all organizers. We all have skills to contribute. That’s what WE do. Together. We aren’t waiting for the people in power, for the leaders we may (or may not) have believed in, to step up. Even if you have no prior organizing experience - collectively, WE can do this.

We need the political equivalent of a Kendrick Lamar diss track. No elected official that fights as hard as he does would feature the timeless words “we don’t have any leverage”

Great, most abuse happens in the home. This should help our kids out immensely. Yes, that's sarcasm. #utpol @spencercox.bsky.social www.ksl.com/article/5125...

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

So the plan is to defund Medicaid and build hotels in Gaza to pay for armored Tesla cybertrucks to run down immigrants and put them on planes that will crash because the magnets are too weak?

Trump works for Trump. Musk works for Musk. The CFPB works for normal people. It would be shocking if the billionaires wanted to keep the CFPB.

Billion dollar corporations will really say they can’t afford to raise wages and then go pay their CEOs 290 times what they pay workers.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

If we get rid of birthright citizenship, that means we've either got to only apply it moving forward, or we've got to trace it all the way back, right? Anyone who was born in America ever to two people who weren't citizens of America. So the USA turns into a nation with no citizens.

Mass deportation is bad policy for so many reasons. It is morally reprehensible and also logically baseless. But it's not even good at what it claims to do, which is law and order: open.substack.com/pub/jeffreys...
