Ok this is not your blog.
You guys I just want to say that I encourage you to flesh this out, perfect it, dump it, adopt it verbatim, whatever you want. These are not magic words and activism is not about finding the exact phrasing in the replies. We just need to hit roughly the same theme, as simply as possible.
I think people everywhere are smart enough to hear “opportunity economy” and recognize it as a phrase no one they hang out with would use, so they are immediately skeptical. It’s not just Latin X or whatever it’s our whole vocabulary sounding like we’re from outer space, or a coastal city.
I haven’t seen any polling (that’s on purpose) but I think our message should be 1) they are ripping you off 2) they are taking your money and giving it to their billionaire buddies
Protect people, fight for people. No one wants to see us fighting for programs and projects and agencies.
Hey feel free to unfollow.
Just wanted to announce exclusively on this platform that I am against polio making a comeback.

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.

Chris Murphy: "We talk a lot about the coming dictatorship, but I think what's really coming is what you would call an oligarchy."

in the coming years there will necessarily be a lot of playing defense, but I don't think that's incompatible with a constructive future oriented ethos

Just asked Sen. SCHATZ (D-HI) about his experience so far on Bluesky.
"It's great!" he said. "It's obviously a huge improvement. I can follow my NBA, NFL, and politics without so many Nazis bugging me."

a lot of you seem to basically believe that politics is over, history has ended and the absence of legal or electoral consequences for trump means that he is the only person with agency. you all are recapitulating the basic conceit of trump’s alleged invincibility, but from the center left
Not mention on the fact that they aggressively opposed a carbon fee in the first place.

We are simply not going to mutual aid ourselves out of climate change, folks.
I’m gonna dodge the second one too.
It’s the county that decides this but I think -Not until we have enough housing for the people.
