Vision without tactics is just words. Here are ours: 1. Protect rights (voting, reproductive, civil). 2. Lower costs (prescriptions, health insurance, housing, energy). 3. Rebuild democracy (end dark money, restore checks and balances). That’s how you begin to deliver for people.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

I start my new job in two weeks on October 6. It’s a year-long contract (fully remote) for $180k, which works for me b/c it gets me exactly what I need & allows me to accomplish a helluva lot. Also, a reminder: if you’re a Black software engineer, DM me b/c they’re still recruiting to fill spots.

TL;DW: essentially Nexstar, a conservative broadcasting agent wants a waiver that will allow them to merge and go from owning 39% of the market to 80%, which is why they were willing to say they would broadcast Kimmel.

If you're cancelling Disney+, may I suggest subscribing to Hi-Yah! In addition to having the best name, it's only $4 a month and provides a wealth of new and classic martial arts films.

One thing Democratic Party leadership and pundits are failing to fully grasp is just how much trust has been lost in them. The average Democratic voter feels betrayed that in the face of a second Trump term, the Democratic Party pushed for President Biden to run again, all while funding a genocide.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Drug ads are so funny. They’re always like “is there a twitch in your left arm? Duplexant will fix it, but the side effects may include headache, joint pain, kidney failure, sudden blood loss, and being stabbed to death by a time traveling assassin from the 1740s”
