Reposted by Daniel Paul Thomas (He/They)Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 08/10/2026It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care. 36151031271

Daniel Paul Thomas (He/They) @quantized-gesture.bsky.social · 07/10/2026MAGA was never populist. Exploiting a deadly, ecocidal war to gouge the public on dirty energy enriches and entrenches elites while imperiling our collective survival. Dismissing populist anger won’t grow the left.
