One thing Zohran said last night that stuck with me is how we are showing liberals that you cannot fight fascism with neoliberalism. It’s a historic fact that a strong left has been critical to stopping autocracy.

It is in literally everyone’s best interest to support this NYC project.

Me reading results for every win

Why is this win so important? Because Zohran is showing us how to be brave.

This is a death cult

Infographic titled “Republican Ecosystem.” Four large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), Advocacy Media at the bottom (blue-purple), and Activists on the left (sage green). Each arrow feeds the next, depicting a self-reinforcing cycle. From the Campaigns segment, a smaller gold arrow points outward to a label “Mainstream Media” beside a purple color swatch, indicating spillover influence on non-partisan outlets. Credit “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community” appears at bottom left.

Infographic titled “Democratic Ecosystem.” Three large curved arrows form a clockwise loop: Donors at the top (magenta), Campaigns on the right (gold), and Activists on the left (sage green). Together they create an incomplete circle with a visible gap at the bottom. A small blue square labeled Advocacy Media sits outside the loop, connected by a thin arrow from Activists, showing weak integration. To the right, a large blue box labeled Mainstream Media represents the dominant external media sphere. Credit at lower left reads “Matthew Sheffield, flux.community.” The design contrasts with the “Republican Ecosystem” version by emphasizing the Democratic side’s weaker feedback loop between activists, donors, and media.

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them.

So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

It’s an objectively dark period in America but it’s hard to understate how much joy I get watching Cuomo get dunked on day-in and day-out.

Genuinely obsessed with Sliwa. Maybe there is one good Republican.

Cuomo hates nyc so much lol

ICYMI: @rynnreed.bsky.social compared the RNC's response to their 2012 loss to the Democrats' loss in 2024.

We Deserve a Party that Takes Us Seriously What we can learn from the Republicans' loss in the 2012 presidential election

In our most ambitious piece to date, @rynnreed.bsky.social does a deep dive into the RNC's 2012 Growth and Opportunity Project—and asks the question of why the DNC hasn't done a serious audit of their own.

A must-read.

Has liberalism become pathological? Toby Buckle on how John Rawls made liberalism too weak to defend itself, and whether ‘reactionary centrism’ is an accurate term

🧵 Liberal elites have become pathological, so committed to their own Rawlsian neutrality that they are unable and unwilling to defend their own philosophy.

This week at Signal Break, @rynnreed.bsky.social and I wrote about how grief and mourning shape collective memory.

This shooter was so far right he’s off the ideological map

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

It’s a real failure of the terminally online that we don’t have a mean name for the people who argue with grok.

Well now that Kpop Demon Slayer is my new special interest…who wants to learn Korean and figure out how to hit those high notes

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

If you send me a voice note that is over 1 minute long and it’s not full of piping hot tea, rest assured you are dead to me now.

We are doing more to protect the meat industry from screwtape worms than we are to protect humans from extinction.

Make it make sense.

Chatbots Can Go Into a Delusional Spiral. Here’s How It Happens.

NEW from @kashhill.bsky.social and me:

Over three weeks in May, a man became convinced by ChatGPT that the fate of the world rested on his shoulders.

Otherwise perfectly sane, Allan Brooks is part of a growing number of people getting into chatbot-induced delusional spirals. This is his story.

Social media chefs are a clear recession indicator - why are all the ones I follow showing me exclusively canned food recipes

They killed that man.

Idc if this makes someone mad but I will not have a 9 pm meeting just because someone is on the west coast.

You get eternal sunshine, we live in a ghastly hellscape - working in our time zone is the tradeoff.

I will never forgive this administration for the millions of women who are afraid to start families because of their policies.

Our futures are being stolen from us.

I wouldn’t come back tbh. Female farm commune? Yes please.

Like?! Can we try it?? It can be a nice farm where they can learn skills and bond and make friends. But clearly staring at computers all day is making them insane. Women love farm boys I’ve seen the Christmas films.

I always come away from X realizing that men miss doing, and bragging about, manual labor. They’re constantly one upping each other about how hard they worked for abusive companies

They need manual labor the way puppies need to play until they get worn out, then maybe they won’t tear apart society.

Chatted with @matthew.flux.community last week about the state of American politics, the way social media has changed the landscape and how we’re addressing it at Creator Congress! Check it out.
