Mamdani, Mejia, AOC - that's the present and future of the Democratic Party that can bring about transformational change.
The people who aren't paid by the DNC or corporate media or corporate donors see it clearly
Others choose to ignore it to maintain a broken system that profits them.

@analiliafornj.bsky.social - if she holds for the win, and it seems likely, will be a gamechanger, folks.

Feels like the week we decide between making him a Hitler for 25 years while he orders executions from the YES/NO ipad in his wheelchair and oxygen tank ~OR~ making him a the most hobbled and incapable lame duck in the history of the Presidency until he's either removed or quits next year.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

People saying the fascism we’re seeing is unprecedented, unimaginable etc miss the larger point.
We‘re not experiencing anything new. We‘re experiencing an *expansion* of existing realities targeting Black people especially. Until we get that, we’ll miss how to fight US fascism at its core.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Amazon will pay $2.5 billion after the FTC found it tricked millions into Prime and made canceling nearly impossible. The scheme, internally dubbed “Iliad,” shows corporate power exploiting consumers for profit.

Amazon has reached a historic $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission which said the online giant tricked customers into signing up for its Prime memberships, and made it difficult to cancel after they did so.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

This is shameful. As a proud alumna of the Merrill College of Journalism, my college self would never believe that the paper responsible for exposing Watergate and publishing the Pentagon Papers would punish, and attempt to silence, an OPINIONS editor for stating the truth.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.
