Those ads for Rocketmoney are weird as hell.

Every poor person is *excruciatingly* aware of the cost of shit. You're absolutely not "forgetting" a $50 monthly charge. You know exactly what shit costs down to the penny.

dear 'centrists',

the fact you don't care about starmer taking bribes.

the fact that you agree with his proscription of peaceful groups as terrorists.

the fact that you agree with his abuse of trans youth.

doesn't make my description of him as a corrupt, authoritarian, child abusing bigot untrue

The reason I'm after $5 pledges today is because while the world's attention disappears, people like the Spark volunteers continue to work hard to sustain families and rebuild communities. Alone.

So join in for electricity & internet. Hit "weekly"/"monthly"! chuffed.org/project/spar...

I keep trying to get people to explain this to people.

There is no part of the Trump project that Labour isn't enthusiastically pursuing, with the exception that rather than building new camps we are either repurposing military bases or sending people to other nations for holding.
Brits lesser evil-ed Starmer into power and in the UK we now have the erosion of trans and disability rights, an arming of genocide, a ramping up of anti immigration rhetoric in Labour circles, widespread facial ID, etc etc
Counterpoint: if the Prince of Darkness rises from a fiery portal at the Iowa Caucus and declares his opposition to Donald Trump, I will ride to battle with the host of Hell

Also, every establishment Dem who said illegal immigration was a problem during the Biden admin has some culpability for where we are now.
In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

Thoughts on this:

Also note the way that the burden is always, always placed upon the left; the right must be catered to, the center must be appealed to, the left? Suck it up, accept whatever is offered, perform the labor of care and capitulation and compromise.

A familiar dynamic.
One of the things language like this does is conveys the way that leftism is seen as feminized in america. Leftists are called “hysterical,” told we “throw tantrums,” and “are shrill and unreasonable.”

This is the language of cultural misogyny, used to denigrate and silence women.
This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about.

RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.

I am pleased the Government has done another u turn.

Attempting to cancel elections, on top of scrapping jury trials, mandatory ID cards, criminalising peaceful protest and harassment of journalists is part of a disturbing authoritarian trend of this caretaker Prime Minister.

Not discounting my low opinion for the party generally, I am oddly enthused to vote for NDP leadership. I've never once lived in a provincial or federal riding where my electoral vote was of any consequence whatsoever.

This is basically the most consequential my vote has ever been.

The NBA star’s recent praise for Israel, as the genocide continues, was as bewildering as it was shameful. What happened to his support for social justice?

STARMER’S LABOUR: THE MOST ANTI-LGBT+ GOVT SINCE THATCHER

A list of the government's shameful LGBT+ record – especially when it comes to attacking trans people.

Updated for the second time in two months because there have been six or seven things to add since January alone.

Awesome to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social making this clear and calling out Labour’s/Starmer’s dishonesty over the Supreme Court misjudgement.

The contrast between Zack Polanski’s honesty and Starmer’s creepy deceitfulness couldn’t be clearer.

‘Third Spaces’ are not a neutral suggestion.

It’s forced ‘outing’ - stigmatising, humiliating, and puts a target on our backs for harassment and violence.

It’s agreeing with a lie. There is no data that backs the idea of trans people being dangerous or violent. 1/3
