The oligarchs are coming for every last tool the American people have ever used to restrain corporate abuse, deception, and overreach. It's a huge new front in the right's push for elite impunity, and it's not getting enough attention. For @newrepublic.com. newrepublic.com/article/2154...

Corporate Dems tried to weaponize the Uncommitted Movement against progressives. But to be clear, using a primary to push the party to stop doing something catastrophic is very different from opposing a progressive nominee in a general election, as some centrists have been doing.

We all love making fun of fascists. But @bretdevereaux.bsky.social makes an art of it. Bret discusses the chuds who say they’re fighting to defend “Western Civilization,” something they’ve never bothered to try to understand + the far right billionaire freaks who idolize and misunderstand Tolkien!

This anti-animal testing post from the EPA head - a man otherwise busy helping Big Oil incinerate the planet - is what we're talking about. As we should all know by now, MAGA doesn't have to be coherent or sincere to connect with people.

My best friend since kindergarten lives in Leavenworth. He and his two kids are breathing in the remnants of Spokane burning — plastic siding, asphalt roofing shingles. That shit gets in your body and doesn’t leave. Big Oil has blood on their hands. So, so much blood.

Zohran has shown that when a leftist takes executive power, the median Democratic voter will follow and they can remake their party. IMO it's a great argument for an AOC presidential run. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
