A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM
It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

Islamophobia 2.0 really exposes how phony the intellectual pose of Islamophobia 1.0 was.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

yup.
This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."
I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

in the 2024 election, approx. 90 million eligible voters didn't vote. But instead of figuring out a way to reach even that 36 percent of the population who didn't vote for ANYONE, the Democrats decided to set fire to a reliable voting bloc to appease ppl who are NEVER going to vote for them

2: most of the blue voters who walked away in '16 & '24 were not principled progressives holding back their votes, They were regular ppl with blue collar jobs who saw the status quo as intolerable & were gaslit (poorly) that The Economy Is Great, Actually, & were disgusted & disengaged b/c of that.

This post in particular is really telling. It's saying - don't expect Democrats to simply right the wrongs. What Republicans take away in 4 years you must expect to spend 20 years to restore, fighting Democrats the whole way.
Actually, positive change is slow, difficult and incremental by nature. Destroying is fast, building is slow. It is easy to bring misery to people - any idiot can do it, as Trump shows - but very hard to improve their conditions. Building a better society is slow, careful, patient work.

this. they always say things like "once we win we can work on xyz" but... it doesn't happen? the end of one election is merely the start of the next. + "democrats must always win" is just not a realistic plan + the biden admin showed that vintage dems won't stop a return of fascism the next cycle
I think I wrote a threat about this somewhere else but I can't find it so: I think I would be a lot more receptive to liberals and moderates who tell us to wait, and act more strategically, and get gradual steady progress, if it wasn't so obvious that they don't have a long-term plan.

Sigh… but yes. Tell me again how I should full theaters get down on my knees to support the democrats.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.
