This country pushed its engines to point of failure - politically socially economically & technologically - at a crucial moment in time. Best hope is to land the plane safely and rebuild the engines with enough time left to get back in the air before too many more nations leave us behind.

(Hot Take TM) Providing mutual aid as part of campaign work is a good thing that candidates should do more.
🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

the point of naming names isn't to be personal or punitive, it's that they clearly just don't understand the enemy & can't lead the fight against them

Minnesota man doubles down on keyboard as theory
Guys I know you’re all going to yell at me here but mutual aid is not meaningfully distinct from the kind of privatized community charity system where poor people go to the church and hope someone has donated a hot meal. It’s not progressive, it’s not effective, it’s not good service provision.
"poor enough to need mutual aid"
Everyone needs mutual aid.
Everyone needs mutual aid.

Siege of Sarajevo vibes
ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, keeping kids out of school and parents from work, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.
I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis.

Probably the same way we put men on the moon with 1960s technology. Or how we built the most dominating military in world history. Or how we created a postal system that can deliver a package to any address, anywhere in the country, no matter how remote, for just a few bucks.
I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there
I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

In the news business, we call this a “puff piece.” It’s about the Ellisons, an “intriguing partnership,” according to the NY Times, which seems more impressed by people’s bank accounts than anything else. The Ellisons are buying up media to prop up a dictator. That’s the news. 1/4 🧵
