folks, the news out of france is an unalloyed good and I'm begging you to remember what it feels like to experience the kind of joy that drives you forward even if it doesn't end all the suffering.

Right? Basically you just need to ask yourself "are people ever gonna stop being racist" and the answer is fucking no so we must fight every day.

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.

Polls predicted a loss and the people said different. Important reminder.
BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

No one is talking about the most important part of The Bear, which is that it has reminded me of how good a band REM is.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

If the GOP is elected and they come for me for posting Alf smut, will you accept this sitting down?? ok actually don’t answer that
the GOP wants to illegalize big tiddy goth girls and dragon vore, and I can think of nothing less American than that

Oh wow it turns out that when all the people who aren't fascists work together, they can defeat the fascists! Who knew?

Yes, I absolutely do think over half the country cares about having their basic human rights taken away by a bunch of authoritarian freaks. For Christ’s sake, Project 2025 calls for banning PORN. We can get voters mad about this.

Drove into New Hampshire today, and immediately saw a “Democrats Will Protect Your Reproductive Rights” billboard with an American flag and a bald eagle on it, from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). Excellent work. More of that please.

Look how fun shutting down fascists is. I want this for us, too

Handing out money to folks on the street who are houseless is always mutual aid, so don't be afraid to hand those bills out to those who need it!!
mutual aid is about politicized survival. lots of people leave out the POLITICIZED part and that's a problem cuz without that part it's not mutual aid.

The French left formed a coalition in THREE WEEKS and basically made every pundit look like clowns and rendered the polling almost meaningless. It is possible.
Breaking: A left-wing coalition is on course to win the most seats in France’s legislative election in a surprise blow to far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s hopes of forming the next government Read more: bloom.bg/frenchelection

UK and France have both defeated their right wing parties in elections this year. The US needs to get its shit together.

I think a lot about how the Nazis were voted into office. But that outcome wasn't inevitable—people could've made a different choice. Fascism is like a vampire; you must first invite it inside.
The UK and France just proved that getting out and actually voting makes a difference. Don’t let anyone ever tell you differently.

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.

I am praying that the Dems take the correct lesson from this win indicating a strong left is essential instead of their usual “we must chase white voters with economic anxiety by embracing right wing talking points”
Avatar
In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

yeah the obliteration of local news - and the fact that what remains has been hoovered up by Sinclair and private equity - has done more damage than even the national level shitshow
