it’s actually very comforting to know there’s no amount of money that can make you not a massive loser

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.
This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

I really hate the "starving artist" stereotype since I don't want to be a starving artist and I DEFINITELY don't want to be a business owner either cause that's just more taxes to pay

Appreciate your commentary on Bsky and Substack. And, 100% agree states need to snare ICE leaders and agents in local state lawsuits. But few are aware that Dems fully control only 18 states right now. And Minnesota is not one of them. Dem voters need to know that 2026 state races are crucial.

"People are being too purist about Gavin Newsom."
He invited yet another rightwing extremist to have a podcast conversation and instead of pushing back against that extremism, Newsom, yet again, backed down immediately.
I want a leader who isn't going to placate extremists. That's not a tough ask.

Saying "what they want is violence, don't give it to them," is not only an incorrect assessment—fascist state agents are unleashing violence upon our communities daily, the peoples' response is not incitement—but further accuses the very people resisting fascism of its cause. A sick perversion.

Crazy idea…
Hit squads of charismatic volunteer educators who travel around purple voting blocks in the US, teaching basic civics and economics, and pithily explaining why giving billionaires and already profitable companies more money, is not the solution to their problems.
