Civic Campaigning Politics: A Muscular Mass Politics for Our Time
An approach for fighting Magafascism.

Read my new article in @liberalcurrents.com which features the groundbreaking @katmabu.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaigns and my answer to the massive challenge of remerging the progressive political and cultural spheres. It’s hopeful, heavy and is for the nerds.

On my shift at @oxfordmutualaid.bsky.social on Monday we had virtually no fruit or veg, virtually nothing in the fridges, and low stocks of bread. This is partly because of so many recent emergency requests for food parcels, way more than usual.

Trump has been trying to go full dictator this entire time, if he could just do it he already would have. His public support plummeting isn’t going to make the task easier
Reality Time:
If Trump truly intends to go full dictator, it'll happen in the next 11 months. The way he's destroying the country, there is a full on GOP bloodbath coming next Nov, and when that happens and Dems take ALL of Congress, he knows he's going to be impeached, removed, and jailed.

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

Aftyn made a 13% swing to the Democrats in a +22 Trump district just last year.
The generic 10% advantage is real for Democrats and most seats are winnable for the first time in a generation. Thanks for proving everywhere is targetable and can put MAGA on defense.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

This is why I was telling Will Stancil that he was making a much more robust argument than Hillary Clinton was a few weeks ago— Hillary Clinton thinks that social media is the only reason people sympathize with Palestinians, and evidently she thinks Bari Weiss and CBS are the solution.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Hillary and co have no idea how many people the average young person has seen die by Israeli bombs and Soldiers. If she did she would never speak on this again. We saw the Genocide in our hands daily.

No idea if anyone else has coined this, probably have, but I've taken to calling this kind of anti-Arab racism from people who don't even have any connection to Israel in an ethnoreligious sense "parasocial racism". These people are doing it for the love of the game. Same as with South Africa.
parasocial racism is such a good term for it lol
