"Comedy 'deflates the strongman’s image as invincible'.... And an authoritarian regime...depends on that image: it leaves the other pillars of society – big companies, law firms, universities – too scared to oppose it." @anatosaurus.bsky.social in @theguardian.com

"The future is made of the decisions that we take together." @anatosaurus.bsky.social speaking with @andreapitzer.bsky.social
“It's not the job of a good message to say what's popular. It's the job of a good message to make popular what we need said, because we have an agenda we need to enact, and because that's how we win.” @anatosaurus.bsky.social with @andreapitzer.bsky.social
I got a chance to talk with the splendid @anatosaurus.bsky.social, who laid out out why the message of moderation from reactionary centrists is lethal and explained how to build a better country by reframing our public conversations.
@anatosaurus.bsky.social on @themaybe.org with @alixdunn.com
Tech execs are promising us a shiny future with AI - it'll make art, revolutionize work, and even cure cancer.
It's a sharp contrast to our current reality, with AI threatening human artists, devaluing labor around the world, and polluting people's lungs next to gas turbine-powered data centers.
✊🏾 It’s #BraveOfUS to strike, march, and protest this regime’s abductions of our loved ones.
💼 It’s #BraveOfUS to move to a new place to create a better life for our families.
❤️ It’s #BraveOfUS to show up for our friends and neighbors who are immigrants.
It's brave of us to make a way out of no way at all. #BraveofUS

“The notion that standing up to this regime, whether you were born in the US or very much outside of it, is courageous,” @anatosaurus.bsky.social told The LA Local. “The idea is, we are gathering in Los Angeles to ridicule the ruler — to show, not tell — that we are brave.” #BraveOfUS
The pattern of authoritarians using war for their own ends appears throughout history. War is used to redirect attention away from domestic scandals, political losses, and unpopular policies. It often creates an atmosphere where expanding state power can be framed as national defense
"From Epstein to ICE to the war on Iran, this regime commits crimes agains humanity...this regime is determined to destroy the lives of children, families and anyone who stands up for our freedoms."

Messaging moment: Call it the “Voter Elimination Act,” not the “SAVE Act,” when referring to the GOP’s bill that would keep millions of Americans from voting.

Great to see folks increasingly use "Epstein Class" as moniker. More potent and accurate still would be "Epstein Regime" as it's not merely a cohort but rather tied to the folks in political power and determined to rule over us.
