#GVerse The Black Panthers have re-entered the chat!

The Panthers are a revolutionary socialist group that fed & protected the community.

They were such a threat to the dictatorship of capital they were falsely labeled “terrorists.” Their reemergence is necessary.

NEW EPISODE: Cory Booker and I discuss the real and growing threats to American democracy. He warns that rising costs, collapsing trust in institutions, authoritarian abuses of power, and the politics of cruelty are driving cynicism and disengagement.

I mentioned this book in passing and now I have an itch I can't scratch until I read it again.

It's honestly not a bad Christmas Eve book. Warm. Funny. Good audiobook to crochet to while listening.

This absolutely haunting Christmas song in support of Palestine is incredible.

The blend of a gospel choir with Palestinian wailing singing on top gives me chills. It’s absolutely beautiful.

The N Carolina immigrant rights group Siembra is teaching business owners their rights if federal agents show up at their door.

While most can name their first and second amendment rights, far fewer are familiar with the fourth, which prohibits unreasonable government searches and seizures.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

Really not tracking the Ryan Lizza stuff (accidentally saw that gross "cheeks" comment).

But just a reminder: We spent much of the election last year distracted with these same people -- it wasn't the best use of our time.

Thoroughly enjoying RAVENSCOURT by @samwardsmithwriter.bsky.social - a gripping historical mystery set in Venice, 1880. Sam is a historian herself, and she does an incredible job at "world building." And who wouldn't want to step into Venice in the late 19th century?

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.
