San Francisco mayor and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie is trying to paint DSA SF as a hotbed for antisemitism, and rightwing trolls and corporate media ran with it

It’s like concluding “my beer is half full, hence I have no beer”. No, you still have a beer, which is a lot better than having no beer.

“To not acknowledge the unique effect of a racial slur is a form of indifference to the suffering of others. The problem of being indifferent to the suffering of black folk while also imploring folks to have empathy for Davidson cannot be understated.” — @nubluesnick.bsky.social

This one hits hard.

RIP to all the American soldiers who are about to die to protect a paedophile from accountability 😭😭😭

I'm gonna repeat my comment. Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

Guilt by Association: First ‘Antifa’ Case Sweeps Anti-Trump Activists Into One Terrorism Conspiracy talkingpointsmemo.com/news/guilt-b...

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.

 He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

"America will get better and better," declared the Reverend Jesse Jackson on the stage of the 1988 Democratic National Convention. "Keep hope alive." Find some hope today in Jackson's speech as we remember the life of one of America's civil rights icons.

a sincere answer to "is there a technology the left is excited about" is, what are the technologies that are most amenable to democratic control for the public good; and/or how do we assert democratic control for the public good over a given technological system (the end, you're welcome)

Frame: the left is hurting itself by not engaging with the god machines Negation: but this technology doesn't do the things you claim kirby: the people writing these stories get funding to support narratives of power and inevitability, and that's what we should be scrutinizing

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

Spent today talking to just a few of the Black women who credit Jesse Jackson with their start in national politics. By inviting them in, he ensured they would help shape democracy for years to come. My latest on the coalition he built as part of his towering legacy: 19thnews.org/2026/02/jess...

NEW: Providers who mail abortion pills to Mississippi could soon be prosecuted as felony drug traffickers under an amendment Mississippi House Republicans added to a drug trafficking bill at the last minute. The amended bill passed amid loud dissent from outraged Democrats.

Really, Dems? THIS is your boy??? Y'all really don't think we see how smoothly & effortlessly fascism is expanding to engulf your party the way it has with the Republicans, huh?

“We’re not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to house the homeless, to teach the illiterate, to provide jobs for the jobless, and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.” Jessie Jackson REST IN PEACE

Problem with the "vote blue no matter who" mantra is that the "blues" play in our goddamn faces every single day

Wow.

The GOP is once again showing its disdain for the Constitution. fox9.com/news/residen...

“Readers should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said… The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like ‘um’ and may judiciously delete false starts.” -NYT ethical guidelines

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

America is in a really weird spot right now in that there is just an insane amount of gun violence but nowhere near enough people high school age and above are getting their asses beat or punched in the face And no I generally do not support violence but this is where I am right now

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
