Where can lefties improve? I think knowledge about Christian nationalism is a big gap with progressives, lefties, socialists, etc. This is a problem because it means that people aren't always strategizing around the opposition we actually face. Here are my recs for self-ed 🧵

What we are living through is the PEAK of "drained pool politics" Drained pool politics is the termination or defunding of public resources due to the will of one group, whether they also use the resource or not. Think the end of public pools nationwide b/c white people refused to integrate

Seems obvious, but it’s true, a lot of problems in the comics industry would be fixed by having more comics readers.
