Simons is great and SPARK is great.

But oh my, who is going to build a PR shop for NIH that’s half the size of Simons’?

It’s on us to talk about it.

The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing people they had more in common with politicians who show up twice a decade to ask for votes than their own neighbours who live with them every day
A lot of white Dems really thought their politicians were saviors.

They are finding out the hard way that even and especially in the most dire times, their electeds are not leaders.

Until they reckon with the fact that their faith was misplaced, they will not be able to locate hope.
What I have a problem with... so few dems showed up to help activists over the decades but they're experts at hiding and wwwhining on the internet.

The worldview we must fight, across all these fronts, is that every gain is offset by someone else's loss. It's behind the belief that marriage equality diminishes heterosexual marriage, that racial equality hurts white people, that trade is zero sum, and that taxes only take.

Yes, I feel targeted. No, I will not allow fear, however reasonable or unreasonable it may be, to siphon the energy I need for taking care of myself and my community.

All you folks struggling to find time to do organizing, networking, aid work, etc but realize the necessity of it are still contributing more than every single man who tells me they're ready for "when it kicks off".
