France dropkicked a baldly fascist political coalition out of office, imo if we can’t manage to do the same we should give back the Statue of Liberty

I was interviewing a French journalist and he said public ownership of the major infrastructure for water and electricity is a massive anti-fascist coalition builder among labor, greens, socialists AND the public at large when benefits are widely shared and immediately felt (and would be missed!)

There is particular power in such an ideologically diverse coalition rejecting the French right because fascists should be reminded often that they’re repugnant to a broad swath of society, not just getting outmaneuvered by the wily left

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

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.

There's a general problem here, being unable to tell the difference between people publicly processing grief, and people goading you to embrace "why bother, it all sucks" doomerism Often, this isn't anyone's fault. You can't always tell the difference unless you know the poster well, maybe offline

I grew up with and took a lot of damage from people who told me that I wasn't allowed to feel what I felt, that it showed that inside I was weak and sinful. Fuck them, and if you've spent today chiding people for feeling upset about truly unprecedented shit, fuck you too.

My current experimental #NuclearEmbroidery. I am working to improve my skills & stitch repertoire which also involves improving my materials. A notional Teller-Ulam thermonuclear explosive design on a linen-cotton blend. Interstage is my first serious long-and-short attempt & it came out ok.

The attempt to get radical leftists to engage with politics as it is lived is actually mostly a struggle to get them to not prefer a glorious suicide over a frustrated life

I know there’s a very real threat of not having free and fair elections after this. But people organizing in the Jim Crow South already didn’t have those and they still did the work.

2023 Canadian wildfires produced CO2 emissions that were *quadruple* the global aviation sector. But because it's a physical hazard they don't "count" Physical risk 🤝 Transition risk HT @hausfath.bsky.social

Canada’s 2023 wildfires outsmoked global aviation, yet emissions go uncountednews.mongabay.com On a June day in 2023, New Yorkers woke up to an eerie scene: the sky had turned a murky orange, the sun a dim red orb in the haze. The culprit? Smoke from wildfires hundreds of miles away, in Canada....

great many people on here working for various legacy media operations who for no fault of their own are automatically going to have to work harder to have any credibility in the USA than their level of knowledge merits. Their employer is giving them the experience of being not white in America

fair! i also have to keep reminding myself that for a certain set of folks, the "washington post" in my bio probably triggers a whole bunch of priors that are very understandable, especially if they don't realize i have no role in my employer's day-to-day coverage of national politics or elections

Ah fuck. Everyone who told me Chevron being overturned wouldn’t matter can kindly have a seat now. I don’t really consider myself an expert in much but considering I’ve been working in health regs for the past almost 8 years, I knew this was 100% coming. I just didn’t think it would be so fast 😭

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.
