I feel like this could also apply to obvious rage baiters like Matt Yglesias

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

…oh.

As always, if you've never had a North Carolina pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw as a condiment, you need to get one ASAP because it will change your opinion about slaw and also change your LIFE.

He does good humanitarian work, but every time there’s a DC policy that would make him less money, he puts all his weight behind it. Capitalists gonna capitalism.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

Adding to Chanda’s point here: this level of action and optimism can likely be attributed to the fact that Lula and the Workers’ Party are leftist and they believe that better things are possible.

Erika Hilton is a real one. She spoke up for Alice, a Brazilian trans woman who was taken by ICE last year.

If you have undocumented people in your life (you do), do they know that you’re safe? Do they know that you won’t call ICE on them? Do they know that you will protect them and fight for them?

A lot of people need to slow down and acknowledge to themselves that they're afraid, and this is affecting how they are interacting with other people. You have to acknowledge the reality of your feelings, or you won't control how they shape your behavior.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

we have to think so much less about finding the right candidates and so much more about building political power that makes individual candidates simple stewards of the will of the bases they are accountable to

IMO people commonly misunderstand that famous MLK quote

John Breen@breen.tech

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” has an implicit “but only if we bend it” at the end

If we’re being honest, most electronics would (and should) cost way more than they do if we actually paid properly for the raw materials so they could mine safely and not exploit child labor

Best thing you can do as an individual is keep your electronics as long as you possibly can. And organize against Apple, Samsung, etc. Electronics companies make it way more difficult by bloating their software and convincing everyone that they need the newest phone every single year.
