I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

Do you have bricks in your head? If clinton lost making the supreme court argument, then it wasn’t persuasive to voters. So BJG was right. She didn’t say the supreme court had no power or wasn’t important. Just that it wasn’t the winning ticket for clinton. And it wasn’t.

Force the vote was objectively the correct tactical decision for the progressives, and the fact that they wouldn’t wield the power necessary to pull the dems to the left is the most persuasive argument for abandoning the dems. The dems pull everyone right, almost nobody pulls the dems left.

Feels like big tech companies could just offer to subsidize solar panels for people where they want to build data centers, nothing more convincing than getting a bill like this

I’m people and I yearn for automation. I don’t yearn for more exploitation though. The tech was never the issue; the social relations enabling a class of people to use technology to dominate the rest of us, that’s what I don’t like at least.

What we are seeing now is the "bad apple" process. Individual cops, then units, and then whole departments are portrayed as outliers to prevent public outrage from forcing scrutiny of the primary functions of "security forces" in a heavily unequal society. bsky.app/profile/equa...

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

if the communist state of Cuba is finally destroyed by the vile American empire, the world will lose something incalculably beautiful and inspirational: a tiny island nation, 75 miles off the coast of the globe bestriding capitalist colossus that thumbed its nose at the world order for over 60 years

The coverage of the ICE execution by PBS has been shameful. It's a case study in copaganda. They brought on Obama's former ICE director to distract from core issues, sow confusion about whether what happened was justified, and promote more $$ for police/ICE "training" industry.

I want you to understand that while news media and politicians were fearmongering every day about shoplifting in SF (while property crime was *down*), THIS was happening: "the inhalation of one-millionth of an ounce will cause cancer with a virtual 100% statistical certainty."

This debate exposes how baseless mainstream punditry is on cops, prosecutors, and prisons. Pundits don't know how the punishment bureaucracy works or the empirical evidence, and they're wrong about what's "popular." No wonder media rarely discusses it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZCl...

For this, not what I was talking about, but in bits and pieces across many episodes, she’s mentioned opportunities she wanted the campaign to take advantage of that they didn’t. NPS isn’t the only one making comms happen. And if the candidate refuses some opportunities, what could she do about that?

markik @markik.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

If you’re mad at her for making takes to stir the pot, that seems like an ecosystem argument I could make about any number of journalists, networks, and publications. That’s what I mean by vague. And her takes almost always have substance, she’s not even dishonest in her presentation…

markik @markik.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

What orgs? What organizers? What insults? I mean, I don’t believe that. You’ve said you have no proof and that’s fine, but she is not the sort to attack people for clicks. She has real, principled, warranted arguments, which some may see as agitating, but hardly any personal attacks.

markik @markik.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

She did make a statement about it, but I agree a follow up would be and would have been appropriate. Virgil was the one at fault, for his handling of the situation if not for what he was alleged to have done. But years later, to dismiss the work she’s done with vagaries like “divisive…”
