Post-Roe, activists aren’t giving up the fight for reproductive rights
Since the 2022 evisceration of Roe v. Wade, Republican policymakers have relentlessly peeled away reproductive rights, once thought to be an unalienable constitutional right for America’s women.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.
One of the interesting things this time around is just how hollow the whole thing sounds. In the past, people have been able to use the empty concept of electability to anoint and position the person they demanded, but now that Republicans are getting obliterated everywhere, that doesn't work.
If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

Important thread on so-called “dynamic pricing” that will also affect wages:
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Others have said this, but it's true: all the money that pours into Democratic campaigns is so much better spent on buying media infrastructure.
