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. IMO not enough current adults read comics to sustain the kind of industry we’d like to exist. However I’m more optimistic about the numbers of *future* adults who’ll be comics readers

Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict

RFK Jr. is now taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant. Infection during pregnancy increases the risk severe disease and potentially preterm birth. The CDC itself lists pregnancy as a condition that puts people at risk for severe disease. The science doesn’t support this.
