At some point, and that point is now, trying to become informed by following these legacy media outlets is doing as much for your understanding of the world as watching a streaming series. The world they are talking about does not exist. It's as fictional as Narnia to everyone except them.

If you get a 3% wage increase at work, and the annual cost of your healthcare, housing and your kids’ college tuition goes up 9%, then you didn’t really get a raise at work. We need to organize for reparative public goods so your wage means something.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

We must move forward from the post-truth world.
We are in an era where we are quite literally paying for other people’s stupidity. Maybe there was a time in the not-too-distant past when you were indifferent to someone else’s ignorance and even believed it gave you and your children some competitive (economic) advantage. I hope the present has disabused you of that notion. Hate, fear, and ignorance will always be exploitable and are only remedied through knowledge. "An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." We are living through that reckoning now, and we will need to solve this epistemological crisis.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…
"Violence" in Social Movements • 111
They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent.
Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

Despite the clear procedural victory against Trump, the judge becomes the second judge to rule in Trump's favor on substantive legality — not because, as a judge in PA ruled, he thinks there is an invasion, but because he believes the courts must defer to the President on the most relevant question.
