Today's news brought us some very bad "strategy" from aging consultants that Dems should retreat. And while that may be risible, I've not yet seen articulated a comprehensive strategy for using contentious activism in tandem with electoral politics to defeat Trump. So here's my $0.02. (a thread)

At a London bus stop. The Brits are telling it like it is.

Trust Jonathan Pie to tell how Europeans feel about Trump and the US. Perfection. 😂😂😂😂 youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

This makes me indescribably angry. We, as a country, were paying this guy to be go around being awesome and do awesome stuff. THAT is wealth. But now, instead, we’re going to let more money pile up in Elon’s bank account. Just incredible, cruel stupidity.

"You wouldn’t think it possible that a Federalist Society member and former clerk for the archconservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia would show more grit in the face of Trumpism than the entire leadership of the national Democratic Party, but here we are" www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Movement Memos is back! What can rent strikes and tenant unions teach us about the work of collective survival in this moment? I talked with LA Tenants Union co-founders Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis about their work and how the lessons of their book, Abolish Rent, connect with this moment.

Mike Johnson represents a state whose largest city was built below sea level behind levees sandwiched between the ocean and a massive river on hurricane alley, but he doesn’t want to give aid to CA because their policies invite natural disasters.

There are good ways to resist Trump’s agenda. This is not one. Dems threatening to tank our economy like Republicans regularly do just validates their hostage-taking. We should pay our bills. The debt ceiling should be abolished, not weaponized.

I saw a guy walk out of chipotle today with a falcon on his arm.

From Tim Cook to Mark Zuckerberg, America’s most privileged class is proactively engaging in Faustian Capitalism, selling America’s democratic soul to make a quick buck. The difference is that they didn’t have to wait for Mephistopheles to make an offer first; souls were sacrificed in advance.

Does this initiative come with a free hot dog costume?

Streisand effect for Bezos, please.

Great way to see out the old year and ring in the new.

Starting to think that maybe @susanna-hoffs.bsky.social is an imposter and it wasn’t the real side-eye Susanna who DM’d me at 3AM to ask where I’m from 🙄

This is some of Picasso’s most disturbing work.

Jax State players remain stoic in the wake of a close loss in The Cure Bowl because Boys Don’t Cry.

In what Science called the 'breakthrough of the year', researchers revealed in June that a twice-yearly drug called lenacapavir reduced HIV infections in a trial in Africa to zero, and the closest thing to a vaccine in four decades of research. https://buff.ly/3P2zrt7 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Daughter’s new surfboard. She’ll be easy to spot in the lineup.

I know everyone is into probiotics these days, but I prefer amateur biotics because they do it for the love of the game.

I don’t think the AI translator understood the question

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hmmm, do I have anything planned for next Tuesday?
