If you’re wondering how we fix this — and where we are in the rabbit hole — I wrote the whole thing up. Me and @kaburbank.bsky.social break it down on the new @jessandjohnpod.bsky.social pod.

A general strike is on a lot of tongues.

Egg heads studied hundreds of movements: turns out every one that mobilized 3.5% of people won.

Labor dynamo @flyingwithsara.bsky.social says: it’s no sick day—it’s a serious lift. Eat your Wheaties. We’ll probably need it.

A working-class agenda cuts across left and right. Trump supporters tell me they’re into it.

But in the absence of a real political movement offering the goods, they’re chowing down on lies from a dude running a bait-and-switch for billionaires.

The corporate core of the Democrats are ripe for a Trump-style hostile takeover from the labor left.

Workers, renters, and organizers taking the wheel and tapping into what’s driving the Bernie and AOC rallies in their own words.

People are showing up to @sanders.senate.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov rallies in record numbers because they feel what we all feel: we’re sliding into total control by the dumbest, greediest people in America.

He calls it “populist nationalism,” but populism means delivering the bread.

What Bannon and Trump deliver is a circus with no carbs.

All vibes, no healthcare. And they’ll arrest your ass if you don’t like it, so eat your heart out.

Meanwhile Steve Bannon is out here doing his job:

Selling performative masculine fantasy to working people as a pacifier while robbing them blind.

Let’s be real:

If David Hogg is too radical for the party, then the party is already a zombie.

He’s not Bernie. He’s not even white people spicy. He’s suggesting moderate reforms nicely.

While all that’s happening, the @democrats.org is busy trying to stop David Hogg from primarying deadweight Dems in safe seats.

Their solution?

Dust off the “neutrality” playbook. Make the reformers look like dangerous partisans.

Kash Patel, director of the FBI:

“We’re putting you all on notice.”

Seb Gorka, Counter Terrorism Csar:

~ You love America or you’re with the terrorists. ~

Happy 2025 everyone! The fascist fan fiction has a federal budget.

ICE showed up to Judge Hannah Dugan’s courtroom without a warrant.

Now she’s indicted on federal felony charges after letting someone leave.

Trump’s goons bragged on air about coming for enemies of the state. Now they’re giving the 9/11 tools a spin at home.

And it's also nuts that the national news coverage of what has happened to West Virginia, which is similar to what happened to Puerto Rico back in the first Trump presidency, is being left to @moreperfectunion.bsky.social and @heyjohnrussell.bsky.social:

Amber sees the profit motives in denied care.
She sees union-busting gut her hospital.
She lives the broken system.

And she should be on the ballot.

There are thousands more like her — we just haven’t called them yet.

Let the candidates be like Amber.

She’s a nurse I met in Denver. Two jobs. Autistic twins. No polish. No handlers.

She looked me in the eye and said:

“Fuck all the oligarchs trying to run this country. You’re not it. You're not the country. We are.”
