It's a tragedy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Or my anxiety has decided to remanifest as the feeling of water trickling into my lungs 😠 lovely

Instead i got sicker 😑

a self indulgent thought but. For my
Birthday i would like some small glimmer of hope that kindness compassion could prevail over cruelty and self interest

seeing just how much evangelical christianity is soaked into every pore of all this horseshit....... all the initatives to drive women and minorities from public life in particular..... their Obsession with hierarchy and obedience and submission -- it's everywhere, like the foulest smell

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

I live in New York City in the year 2025.

The president is a convicted felon.
The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon.
The secretary of defense is a Fox News host.
The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host.

The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

REACHES ACROSS THE STARS FOR U

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive. Another industry executive said: “What’s most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity.”

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

“Trying” to serve two masters or pretending to serve one and mostly serving the other

The Democrats Will Keep Losing Until They Stop Serving Corporate Interests The Democratic Party is trying to serve two masters—the people and the corporate donors.

The Democratic Party is trying to serve two masters—the people and the corporate donors. And until it picks the people over its corporate masters, the Democratic Party will keep losing.

Does anyone have a good leftist non doom-oriented daily podcast for current events that will make me knowledgeable but not want to die

Forgive me for being blunt.

But “we’ll fix this in the next election” is NOT A GREAT RESPONSE TO WHERE WE ARE.

Normal rules are NOT in play.

Act now.
Organize now.
Speak up now.
Plan now.
Push back—and urge power- holders to do the same.

Now.

HELLO!!!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

hello?
