Ansel Adams took very good photos of our national parks if you need a visually arresting element for your Facebook post

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

And here's Jane commenting on Twitter about an embroidery I made for a friend out of a quote of mine they liked. I like to remember her this way.

"The core of organizing is raising expectations." - Jane McAlevey

Woo this- I know like have organized for every Dem since Bill Clinton people who are fed up

Not visible to the public is the fact that this administration has alienated some of the strongest organizers I know. And here I mean those who focus on electoral organizing.

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.

honestly not sure why i still sometimes post personal things to social media. i've totally eschewed using social media to make new friendships and connections for years now, ever since that became a nightmare on twitter, but some reflexive part of me still wants to engage how we used to

The prospect of both France and the UK potentially recognising Palestine soon is huge, given both are on the Security Council. That really would make it just the US holding out.

Mathilde Panot, President of the La France Insoumise in Parliament which is part of the New Popular Front that just shocked the world, says that France will recognize a Palestinian state in the next two weeks.

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.

They tried this four years ago with varying results. The far better use of the money is by buying existing local TV stations and newspapers and staffing them properly

if there is one thing I want to come out of this election, regardless of result, it is Dems - and the left more generally - finally understanding that they need to make their own media ecosystem and stop relying on folks who want them to lose to get their message out

Trump is trying to back-peddle from Project 2025 - a corporatist-Christian Nationalist plan to gut social services + attack regulations + civil liberties. Project 2025 is headed by Trump's former Chief of Staff Paul Dans. John McEntee, a senior advisor on the project is one of Trump's top aides.

The logistics of de-nominating Biden and then nominating Harris are already incredibly risky. The logistics of nominating anyone else, at this point, are so undeniably unworkable that suggesting it makes it clear you do not understand the American political system and shouldn't write about it.

Oprah foisted Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz on us and played a pretty major part in building JD Vance's public profile. I've never heard of the person who wrote this before, and I want to make it clear that I don't mean this flippantly - the person who wrote this is phenomenally ignorant.

Just heartbreaking

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.

Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essentialwww.thelancet.com By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Offi...

It's also wildly inaccurate. Plenty of the base of white christian nationalism is in wealthy suburbs and, yes, cities too. Stop buying this "barefoot hicks" b.s. and realize the fascists are down the street shopping at whole foods.

Honestly I feel deflated seeing the response to “depiction of white Christian nationalism ascendant” be cracks about inbreeding, or glee at concentrating these people in rural communities so they can eat their own

GOP mandates that babies are born but refuse to feed them after birth. Evidently they prefer the slow death of starvation over abortion.

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

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

If I were in politics in any of these states, I would have the nastiest commercial airing on repeat to remind everyone that these people want to watch you struggle to feed your family simply because they hate you

Wow, it's weird how the media narrative of a far right populist wave keeps crashing against reality in every country that actually requires them to win a majority of votes to take power

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.
