Run on the most left and progressive policy ever. FDR on steroids. Bernie on steroids. More AOCs and Zohrans. Do not yield a single inch to centrist scolds
If I were running for office right now, I would unapologetically run on taxing the wealthy like never before in U.S. history. Not just because it would allow us to raise the standard of living, but also as a correction of this grand scale theft from the American people.
🚨🚨 NEW: House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk
Final House vote is 218-214, with TWO Rs voting no (Massie & Fitzpatrick).
Senate passed it 51-50.

I forget who said it first, but one of the most profound things I’ve ever read on here was that the culture of the manosphere isn’t about men, it’s about boys - as in, appealing to the parts of their brain that miss being 14 with no responsibilities, playing video games while Mom makes them snacks
The people I actually know, in real life, who listen to Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson are 45 and think they're 22, which explains a lot of things.
The narrative that young people were going reactionary was always bullshit.

Trying to bring slavery back.
He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Yes, the budget funds a vast expansion of concentration camps at home and will spur a larger system abroad. After looking at countries that have gone this way (including the US, which has been on this path for some time), I can say many of us are still in a position to fight it. But we need to act.
I wrote about the budget bill, police-state measures intensifying, Himmler's defense of camps, the dangers of mirroring Putin's Rosgvardia, Trump's wish for a multistate network of concentration camps, and a long list of things you can do right now to fight ICE.
