You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, but you CAN make it swim, but you CAN'T make it backstroke. Life is funny like that.

Click on this and read the italicized disclaimers holy shit
The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking.

An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times.

The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
Hook and Squeeze
How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

I read this and keep thinking about Wilhelmine Namibia. From the perspective of a Namibian of that time, they are exactly the same. Facism is in many ways just an expansion of who it's considered okay to do that stuff to. It's a tactic that conservatives use when they get squirrelly.
A clear example is comparing the position of a Jew in Wilhelmine Germany—a deeply conservative, nationalist, and antisemitic state—to that of a Jew in Nazi Germany. Erasing the differences between the two on the grounds of an abstraction would be absurd 4/

ICE & CBP have been out kidnapping people in Los Angeles every day since June. The media has moved on and acts like this isn’t still happening. The crises are ongoing. Solidarity with the people fighting back in Minneapolis and everywhere.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Ta-Nehisi Coates has a predictably wonderful essay about the political class's reaction to the death of Charlie Kirk. to quote a post I saw on here a few weeks back, "we're gonna need a bigger Reconstruction"

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

I've worked on the far-right beat for nearly 10 years now, and I've had to handle sorting through a lot of misinformation on politically motivated violence. And this is by far the worst instance of it, including from a lot of people who should really know better.

The white students who are struggling to make ends meet are not struggling because Black and immigrant students got into our university. They are struggling because of a shitty social safety net & high tuition because people like Andreesen don't pay sufficient taxes/the state doesn't pay its share.
