Stacy Abrams, from her book,
Our Time Is Now:
“Beyond Congress, there are the unmentioned corridors of power we too often cede: state and local elections [...] These elections matter because the architecture of our rights begins closest to home.”

Whether it's Zohran in NYC, or Zack in the UK, a solid way of telling when a political candidate has the juice is when the right-wing tabloids start tripping over themselves to smear them as a some kind of authoritarian communist.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

If you're having a hard time, if things seem impossible and grim... just remember that World of Sport once covered the International Clown Diving Championships.

It won't help with any of what we're all facing but god, it's a good thing to have in your head.

Zohran Mamdani: “[T]here is a deep desire for an affordability agenda, and that extends to Republicans; that extends to Independent voters; it extends to unaffiliated voters. [...] [Y]our landlord does not care about your politics on the first of the month. You have to pay your rent.”
Zohran responds: why haven’t Schumer or Jeffries endorsed him?

I have an idea! 💡
If Carney and Trump reach a trade deal, Canadians can simply forget what ICE has done to our tourists. It'll be safe to travel. 😊 #satire

I wonder if Felon Pig realizes that stories like the torture of Jasmine Mooney have circulated on Canadian news. Word gets around.
Trump says Canadians will travel to the US again after a trade deal is worked out
President Donald Trump predicts that Canadians will travel to the United States once again after a trade deal is reached.

We now have terrorist cells in Texas? Do we have a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist that can send ambulances to these crazy people's houses to bring them to psych wards for evaluation and/or admission because they need serious help.

Erin Wax believes that Alcoholics Anonymous can inspire left-wing movements, such as by helping people:
• recover from capitalistic indulgence,
• build trust with people joining the left,
• create constructive ways to hold disagreements, and
• remain nonreactive during conflict.
How 12-step programs can help build healthier movements
The 12-step method that began with Alcoholics Anonymous is a form of mutual aid that can help movements take better care of each other.

« We could translate nuanced political analysis and campaign calls to action into language that mirrored what fans were used to seeing on “Andor” or in their Discord threads. »
Why fandom organizing is a powerful strategy for movement building
As the Disney/ABC boycott took off, youth activist group Get Free mobilized its “Andor” fan community to amp up the pressure.
