We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

Jane McAlevey has died. Rest in peace to a titan of the labor movement. Cruel fate has taken her from us when we needed her the most, as fascists are on the march and we need a fighting working class to stop it. Yet, her contributions will not be forgotten. The union will roll on and win for her.

by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.

Lot of questions about why Macron called snap elections. One clear factor: By ordering speed campaign, he expected Left could not unite, & so they'd be knocked out in Round 1, helping his own party. Instead, Left united within days—& now surged to win biggest bloc in Assembly.

The coverage of the recent shooting in Kingsessing is driving me UP A WALL. There is literally nobody pushing back against the "pop up gatherings are dangerous" narrative.

What's weird is how much coverage there was of the surging right and a collapsing center and but no attendant deep coverage of the left? Not even to explain why news orgs seemed to be ignoring it other than stories accusing antisemitism b/v of opposition to Israel policy. So frustrating.

This was always true. This has always been true for every marginalized community in every single only these “advanced democracies.” Welcome to the world your privilege has shielded you from. This is life outside the cave.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

Hearing that Jane passed away this morning. An immense loss. Her teachings changed much of my life. If you've never read her work, you should make it a priority to do so today.

we all gotta cherish the time we have left with Jane McAlevey, but among the things that are great about her is how much time and effort she's spent making sure we will have more organizers like her

All you really need to know is it CAUSES IMMUNE AMNESIA. Imagine getting every single cold, infection vaccination all over again.

Most Americans don’t think about measles because vaccination had largely eliminated the scourge from the U.S. in 2000. But many Americans who survived measles as children never forgot how sick they were. These are some of their stories.

An article in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, using the conservative estimate of 4 indirect deaths in Gaza for every one direct death (in other conflicts it’s been 3-15x), calculates that Israel has killed approximately 186,000 Palestinians. That is 8% of the population of Gaza.
