1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.

This'll sound like a cop-out lazy media-critic-from-the-couch answer, but the media could be covering this like its hair's on fire and calling this the most corrupt administration in living memory, but it's not. Right now the sense of emergency isn't even even a full Benghazi. It's tarmac handshake.

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.)

Here’s my list of how to win back working class voters: Makes sure working class voters know which party butters their bread and which party closed their rural hospitals and turned their rural communities into ghost towns. That’s it. That’s the plan

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.
