@michellegoldberg.bsky.social thank you for your powerful and alarmingly accurate piece in the NYT. Yes, we're apparently in McCarthy v2 now. It's terrifying.

"Swift and unrelenting"--I'm thinking that’s trump's idea of a sexual encounter.

I have some skepticism , but what’s to lose? generalstrikeus.com

We should all thank Chris Hayes for risking his career to speak the truth about Israel exceptionalism. @chrislhayes.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social thank you for speaking out truthfully about Palestine. I applaud your courage!

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

This is beyond despicable.

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?

"To be hopeful in bad times... is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.... To live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is around us, is itself a marvelous victory." -Howard Zinn

Elle Cordova strikes again. 🤣

Rebecca Solnit nails it again. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social I read your words at 3 a.m. in the morning, right after learning that trump had won, and they were like a beacon of light, something to grab hold of in the darkness. Thank you.

Hello?

Much like “Zionism” itself, anti-Zionism can have a range of meanings. But a workable core (and others more knowledgeable in this field should feel free to correct me) might be opposition to 1. a Jewish ethnostate whose maintenance as such is predicated on dispossession & oppression of Palestinians.
