ugh yes - it did feel like there was a short era of tv criticism where people got googly eyed over big names committing to tv seasons and overrated them

Some great pearls of wisdom from our conversation with @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social campaign manager Ben Shanahan, like, you know, "Actually talk to voters!"

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

Our episode this week is with union organizer @billfletcherjr.bsky.social, who reminds us that when you're dealing with fascists, "When they go low, you kick them in their face."

We friggin' loved this episode. Historian @patrickwyman.bsky.social joined us to discuss what makes societies fall apart and how history demonstrates that human agency — and our decisions today — really do matter in determining what comes next for our civilization.

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.

A few years ago, we couldn't imagine Monsanto-hating moms joining Trump’s coalition. But MAHA happened. @astra.bsky.social and I see something similar happening today with animal rights — which, if the left doesn’t wake up, could be very bad for all of us. newrepublic.com/article/2137...

many of u appear to be trying to play a sophisticated game of chess while your opponent is pointing a gun at you and also pulling the trigger on the gun pretty frequently and you're being shot by the gun a lot

I was on a podcast! I was on the Fighting Fascism Podcast to talk about the strange fascist obsession and deep misunderstanding of Tolkien, who despised the Nazis and would, I feel confident, have despised our modern techno-Nazis even more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Went on @thenation.com's Fighting Fascism podcast to discuss a phenomenon too few are talking about: How the MAGA right are claiming to be animal welfare champions. The right loves to fill a vacuum and liberals/leftists are leaving a big one by ignoring the issue. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
