“When Bernie would say, ‘It’s OK to be angry at capitalism,’ that sentiment was a bit too radical for some,” says @faiz.bsky.social. “They’d say, ‘Why is he so angry?’ If anything, they’re now angrier than he is.”

Thanks to @dfenton.bsky.social for having this discussion ahead of the midterms. open.spotify.com/episode/4hIb...

Trump’s overt attack on democracy is equally as terrifying as his norm-shattering, bureaucratic moves.

“Trump is moving towards his lowest [approval rating] lows in the second term, and might be in the entire two terms of his presidency.” —Democratic strategist Faiz Shakir

What a democrat flipping a Texas state Senate seat means for the midterms.

When data processing centers move in, those neighborhoods rarely see benefits, says @moreperfectunion.bsky.social's @faiz.bsky.social. AI expansion is not a red or blue issue, and more communities and politicians from all sides are raising their concerns. Learn more on this week's podcast (🔗 in bio)

Greatly enjoyed discussing the political economy of AI, the logic of the Luddites, and much else, with @gritlaura.bsky.social and @faiz.bsky.social

Today on Laura Flanders & Friends: Debunking the AI hype. As energy-sucking data centers take root around the country, communities are pushing back. @johncassidysays.bsky.social (@newyorker.com) and Faiz Shakir (@moreperfectunion.bsky.social) tell us more: bit.ly/4k5S8uu

We talk a lot about Donald Trump acting like a gangster and using his power over American businesses for his own enrichment. But maybe, just maybe, the top 1% are using him to get what they want. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/0pLlltN3Vv4

Faiz Shakir @faiz.bsky.social says Democrats need to be FOR something. Not just against Donald Trump. And they can begin to do that in local communities when Big Tech comes to town. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/0pLlltN3Vv4

We are in desparate need of more leaders who have the integrity and conviction to go up against massive concentrations of wealth and power

It’s going to be so cool to have a mayor who really cares about working people and goes out of his way to show it.

On Pod Save America, Faiz Shakir described America as being in a state of moral decay. When the President calls one reporter "Piggy" and his press secretary answers, "Your Mom," to another reporter, you know we're there. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

🔥 future Senator of Maine @grahamformaine.bsky.social Platner rallying with Bernie…

@faiz.bsky.social: "There’s too many in the Democratic Party who like to criticize Bernie or be in friction with him. Far fewer have seen the political power of embracing him. AOC always has"

"The impact for me right now is documenting the struggle for local communities over oligarchy. These economic justice issues actually are gaining sway with conservatives" Read the full interview with @moreperfectunion.bsky.social's @faiz.bsky.social here: hardresetmedia.substack.com/p/the-bernie...

Thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com and team for the shout-out for @moreperfectunion.bsky.social billboards to save national parks and public lands

This is the best conversation I’ve heard in so long. @faiz.bsky.social is so smart. The pyramid is a great reframe AND his example of a candidate getting any voter USA to agree with them by addressing exploitation of working class = 👏👏👏

"It doesn't matter if you're really wealthy. It doesn't matter if you're middle class. It doesn't matter if you're living in poverty, you generally should be able to go to a National Park and have the same experience…" @faiz.bsky.social www.kgun9.com/news/communi...

A good discussion.
