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."

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

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.

This! Please do this! You can leave a bubble blank while still engaging with the rest of the page!

okay real talk even if you're not voting for a democrat cause they're anti trans, you should still go vote and do all the down ballot stuff! that stuff is important!

Liberals like to throw out accusations of nihilism when you refuse to accept their dogma I do believe better things are possible I just won't accept that doing the same things that won't yield better things now or in the past will magically do so because they say so

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

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.

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

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.

imagine being more mad at people who didn't didn't vote, than at people who selected an overt fascist as their representative and leader. couldn't be me.

Stevens “says she’s encouraged Abdul El-Sayed to give a speech addressing Black voters’ concerns and “that didn't happen.”” on the day after he held an event with Obama on just that topic. I mean, who needs Republicans when you have people like her

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

"We can turn them around after" No, you fucking can't. You literally have no leverage once a pol is elected. You gave them power in the face of their promises. You rewarded their messages. You told them that it wasn't a dealbreaker. They have no reason to reverse course once elected.

Dave Carey (Scarey) reposted

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

Taka Hanazawa@takahanazawa.bsky.social

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.

The bigotry and transphobia coming from the Democratic Party, coupled with all these weirdos jumping in to defend and excuse it, really underscores just how correct Malcom X was about the white liberal back in the 60s. They haven't changed, even today. Turek, Talarico, Acton...

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.

Dave Carey (Scarey) reposted

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.

Wintersong@wintersong.bsky.social

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.

Dave Carey (Scarey) reposted

There's too many ads about voting, get out the vote, spam texts, etc that America does not have the luxury of writing off non voters as people who are uneducated or don't want to vote. People don't vote because voting requires time off work and there's nothing to vote for
