Trumpism has succeeded because his side draws up a passionate core and supplements it with gigantic media presence. There is no alternative to this. Goody-two-shoes "let's participate in democracy together" crap goes nowhere. You can only defeat fascist power with progressive power. /end

This, but also, as a liberal I believe in freedom and human rights for all people, all around the world. That translates into rooting interests in elections where freedoms and rights are on the ballot, as they often are.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

As long as the author isn’t being harassed to answer, which is not ever okay, then the Morrison quote is just another version of “stop having fun in a way different from what I enjoy,” with an occasional added “no using pop culture as a teaching tool because I don’t like it.” Either way, dick move.

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

“The culmination of my life’s work may have been targeted by an AI-assisted censorship tool & terminated by a politically-motivated AI hallucination” If you care in any way about science, you need to read this thread from my friend Kelton Minor.

Kelton Minor@keltonminor.bsky.social

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

I have one critique. El-Sayed needs to stop stepping on his applause. Let that it go on until you'll be heard again. Substantively? NOT A SINGLE NOTE.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

Reminder that trad pub authors aren’t eligible to unionize in the United States. They can certainly throw their weight around at a certain level and demand their contracts include protections…for them. New authors don’t have that power. From exploitative to worse!

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye. Ther ys no part of thee that evir koude be wrong.

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Blogged angry today. It is bad for Democrats, and bad for democracy, when a few centibillionaires decide to take ownership of all mass media outlets. We can all see that, right? Your political message does not matter if your target audience cannot hear it. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/your-polit...

“It’s easier to get a job when you have a job” is an idiom I hear often, and like… there is truth to it, but I feel like the people saying it don’t really internalize what that means. It’s easier to get a job when you have your basic needs met, and you’re not wondering how you’ll afford food.
