I question how “unpopular” these opinions really are. I would add that I hate how tech bros have used technology to *constantly* try to sell me things I don’t want. I’m always being hectored to either subscribe, upgrade, or purchase.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

I agree with this and don't see how @kenmartin.bsky.social can or should stay as @democrats.org's chair. But let's not forget how we got this dud of a DNC Chair. It's due to Bernie Bros like Jeff Weaver who vetoed the vastly superior @benwikler.bsky.social, who should have been chosen over Martin.

You know what Democrat has been centering Black voting rights in the South? @kamalaharris.com. It's why the white donor class is so upset in articles about her running again in 2028. Wealthy elite white liberals want to run the Democratic Party.

It’s honestly beyond f*cking galling to see white Democrats who would never be electable if not for the hard, daily, unpaid work of Black women turn around and say “you’re not electable” to Black women when they run. No, you’re the ones who aren’t electable without them. Respect Black women.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.
When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.
We need a new democracy.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Since the first day of his second term, Trump has refused to follow the Constitution. Trump now asks Congress to continue his lawless reign by passing a “continuing resolution” that will fund the government at its current levels of lawlessness.
Congress should refuse to do so.

One of the differences between Trump 1.0 & Trump 2.0 is that there are fewer John Paul II & Benedict XVI bishops in the U.S. & more Francis (and obviously) Leo bishops. And that's making a difference in a stronger pushback to Trump by the Catholic Church this time.
