I like art and communism. Scifi and open water are pretty cool too.

Everyone talking about the US sliding towards totalitarianism.
To the rest of us in the outside world you already kinda looked a bit like that, what with the flag worshipping, mass shootings, anti-marxist witch hunts, prison industrial complex/ modern slavery & general hyper capitalist fuckery

Just to clarify, it hasn't been the USSR since 1991. The USSR isn't coming to get you.

I said it before, and I'm sure I will say it again:
If the moral arc of the universe is going to bend towards Justice, somebody has got to bend it that way. That somebody is ALL OF US pushing just a little in what ways that we uniquely can. We are not separate from the universe. We are its hands.

Christofascists do not like it when you call Jesus a Nazarene twink. They especially don't like it when you describe what you imagined doing to that bound up twink while daydreaming in church.

The CDC has been letting 1K people die from COVID every week for years and obfuscating the data, so that people would pretend that everything was "back to normal." It was gutted a long time ago. Same goes for the NIH, FDA, and the entire field of Public Health.
The CDC Has Been Gutted
Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

The attack on DEI is simply a means of inculcating a shorthand for viewing all people of color and women in positions of authority as unqualified and undeserving.

Talked with @andersoncooper360.bsky.social about what is, and what IS NOT, DEI. And what Trump & his confederates are trying to accomplish with erasing the accomplishments of non-white people, women and LGBTQ people.

What can stop full autocratisation now? We know from our research that you need mobilisation across the full spectrum of the socio-political opposition + transnational support on media, civil society and governmental levels. Is there space for such a united front?

I keep seeing liberals talking about 'Resisting' while largely going about their daily lives as usual.
"What are you planning to do?" is the first question.
The second question is, "What are you willing to sacrifice?"

Genuine question to liberals who keep insisting that Trump is trying to end democracy and there won’t be any elections in the future: what are you planning to do about it? Are you armed? Are you organized?

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

I've got nothing but love for folks trying to do the hard work of organizers.
As an elder millennial, I can't help but notice the gaps in what a lot of organizers seem to consider. Child care, for example.
Want folks to come out? Make sure they can bring their kids and they have something to do.

I'm actually ideologically closer to Dem Socialism, and friends who are members.
I state a fact about the whiteness of DSA, you agree there's a problem. And then call me a pundit promoting conspiracy theories.
Help me understand this outreach strategy of yours. I'm curious.

On what "is": DSA "is" a social welfare organization and some of us organize as a "pre-party" formation, but it's not a party. However, this pundit's aim is to stoke suspicion *about* socialism (too white) so calling it a party is not a complement, it's to make it seem like it's a plot against POCs.

None of it is super long or hard. Don’t make people make you believe this before you even try for yourself

The Communist Manifesto is only like 44 pages. Wage Labor and Capital is only like 60 pages. On Authority is *3* pages.
Getting educated on this stuff is actually the bare minimum.

You're right...insisting that under-educated masses take time between their multiple jobs to read 150 year old economic theory is probably the way to go.

To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.
