Hey friends, I'm doing my best to make it easy for folks to come here and find their communities. I've got two starter packs so far - one with general left-ish activists and leaders, and one with folks working on union issues. Links in chat, and if you'd like to be added to one let me know!

You know it has to be really, really, really extremely bad Republican disarray if even Politico admits it

These guys are losing the message war - badly. The more they lose the more cruel their policies get - and it will united the Democrats even more.

If the Trump/Republicans don't cave by next week - numbers will only get uglier for them leading to even bigger #NoKings protests on 10/18.

President Trump addressed backpay for furloughed workers, saying that some "don't deserve to be taken care of" and that he'll take care of them in a different way.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

"AI is not just a technology. It is a social problem. There is zero reason to allow it to run us over without a plan to mitigate its completely predictable negative effects." Another must-read banger from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/thinking-o...

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem

No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

Pretty sure Weiss was employing the common gangland usage when she said "do the news."

max tani @maxtani.bsky.social · 21h

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Evan Sutton @evansutton.bsky.social · 19h

I'm pretty sure she meant "do the news" like a mob boss

Please read this heartfelt thread as a direct appeal from your neighborhood strategic organizing witch. And look for my petition to #FreeLink if there aren’t already dozens circulating (there should be)

My advice to people entering their 30s: don’t assume something will die forever just because it appears to be encountering a massive setback/reversal. Wait, plan, breathe, but don’t give up at the first sign of trouble. Courses correct. New information comes out. Shit changes constantly

Diane Galloway @adgwatches.bsky.social · 1d

Let’s not give up just yet.

C'mon Ed, what do you expect them to research the candidate before they hype him? To believe he'll do the things he says he'll do that they cheer about him doing before he does them?
