For what it's worth, if you are a socialist or interested in socialism, it is *my job* to educate you, so ask away.

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

You know, I don't know that I feel safe flying if we've got a government that is shooting down random stuff in the sky because they can't tell the difference between a threat and a party balloon.

IĀ don't know why Newsom's 2026 Ronald Reagan Day proclamation is suddenly going viral but for the record he has done this every year in office and I have the receipts for you. (I make this thread only to further point out that Gavin is a shitheel but also proclamations like this are widespread.)

There have been hugely successful campaigns to fight prison and jail construction across the country, especially in rural areas. These bring together hunters, environmentalists, Indigenous people, prison abolitionists, and immigrant advocates as well as people concerned about land use.

It annoys me when people write analyses of the left where they criticize the strategies/tactics they think are ineffective, but they don't lift up any strategies/tactics that they think are effective and should be scaled up.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

I donāt really pay attention to charges of doomerism. I donāt know what it means offline. I do know that refusing a version of how the future will unfold forecloses on the power that actually shapes that future. Thatās not disavowing that tech changes are happening but they are in now a given.

Many analogies made btw resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act & popular resistance to ICE. One analogy not often made is that it literally took the creation of a new political party to get the āoppositionā to stop compromising w the slavocracy

One reason I think we should dismiss AI hype tout court is because the people pushing it are 1) blatantly lying about itās current capabilities and 2) often trying to keep a bubble inflated.

7. Political messaging is lagging regular peopleās sense that tech has gone rogue. There is an opportunity to tap into fear about government overreach and economic insecurity. That would tie together several threads of political structures of opportunity ā from occupy to environmental racism

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate ā overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
