I think you could also call this "class solidarity."
Media, universities, corporations see fascism or antifascism as secondary to protecting the power and reputation of their own industries/sectors/classes.
It’s very concerning to see some liberals boosting Tucker Carlson who is very blatantly trying to pivot for his own political and fina survival without disavowing any of his racist and antisemitic demagoguery
you love to see it
Centrist Dems won’t shut up about how we’re too mean and condescending to Trump voters and how electoral expediency requires us to welcome them back into the fold.
Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not, but it’s bizarre not to extend the same argument to people who already vote for you.
the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism
Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.
Let me say this once: you all NEVER have to praise Hochul, LOL. This is especially the case if you don't live in this state. She is CONSTANTLY doing the bare minimum or worse. Please raise your political expectations posthaste.
In a sick, violent way, they have more faith in the possibility of a new world than a lot of people on the other side. They are willing to reimagine all of it. Many of us cannot imagine getting rid of payday loans and they’re like eff it, let’s see if the Pope’s still got the juice.
A blue wave in 2026 could also bring us closer to a national popular vote 🤞🏻 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.
I would love to be wrong about James Talarico but… I just don’t see it.
I think it’s important for there to be progressive people of faith in public service but I don’t think he’s peeling off any evangelicals.
Todd is a good follow
It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:
1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,
2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,
3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic.
4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.
My favorite thing about Tom Steyer is during his 2020 presidential bid, after it was clear he was going nowhere, and he decided to hold an event with Juvenile where he danced to "Back That Azz Up" youtu.be/wcEU-8ONONE?...
Jay killed it! So glad that question was asked. What did you think of the mayor's response?

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.
"This is what you get when you elect Republicans."
Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly.
Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time.
Fucking say it!
I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...
some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this
It’s helpful for me to remember that a lot of discourse boils down to I’m really struggling or afraid or angry and don’t politically know what to do to stop it but I won’t just say that.

OK Senator but are you currently in DC or on your way back? Have Schumer or Jeffries called their conferences back to town immediately?
This is from my 2017 post: Normalizing Trump: An incredibly brief explainer pressthink.org/2017/09/norm...
"A conflict in the journalist's code was created by a president wholly unfit for the job."
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
I never thought I’d see the day when I go to drudge for accurate framing of the republican president’s actions but 🤷🏻♂️
WHY ISN'T YOUR PARTY DOING THIS ON BLAST THOUGH?????? STOP BEING A FUCKING COMMENTATOR. YOU HAVE POWER. USE IT.

In the US today, nonaligned, politically inactive or indifferent people are a majority of the electorate. Your chance of activating an inactive person is exponentially higher than your chance of convincing a fascist socialism is good. I mean, reread that last sentence and hear how absurd it sounds.
It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.
