I say this as a historian — history will remember you utterly failing to meet the challenge of this moment. At the rate you’re going, “Schumer” is going to end up somewhere between “Chamberlain” or “Quisling”

I keep thinking back to this 1873 commentary on a passage from the Richmond Whig that poverty and white supremacy were preferable to material prosperity and Black equality. "Better poverty and all the misery it entails," than Reconstruction, the paper argued.

This is post-Reconstruction level illiberalism: overturning elections bc they don’t like the outcome. Institutionalized insurrection.

I don't respect any elected official who thinks or acts like they're entitled to their office, but I at least understand it. voters on the other hand who act like it's some great insult for an elected official to have to actually compete for re-election are a mystery to me. longing for aristocracy

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

“Large increases in material output, we are assured, can save liberalism from the civilizational choice between socialism and barbarism. I disagree; refusing to be forthright about society’s structural antagonisms opens the door to demagogues who peddle false conflicts.”

In March 2020, as the COVID pandemic was sweeping across the country, a group of organizers from @ueunion.org, @demsocialists.bsky.social, and the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign came together to found EWOC and support workers who were forced to risk their lives to make money for their bosses. 🧵

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

I worked at Dilley, the family detention center reopening tomorrow, for 1.5 years. I really cannot express how depraved family detention is, and even more so the longer it goes on. Jailing kids who have already suffered unimaginable trauma for weeks or months on end was and will be horrific.
