  I know there are lot of people who think voting does nothing to stop fascism, but I do notice that one group who seems to think voting does something to stop fascism are the fascists, who are trying to prevent it as much as possible.

  Also: the Trump presidency isn't even half over yet, and the maximum alarmists weren't nuts. ICE is operating as a death squad or is at least building up to it. Birthright citizenship nearly died in court. Mass corruption. Iran War. Haitian ethnic cleansing. Concentration camps. It's very bad!

  Is a socialist candidate electable in a purple state? A modestly interesting question. A more interesting question: what if socialist candidates, despite facing opposition from their own party, not only win, but overperform? What if the moderate assumption of themselves as “electable” is exposed?

  "Sunlight is the best disinfectant" people say that the best reason to platform bigotry is because it will naturally result in social consequences like this. Let's see if the "sunlight is the best disinfectant" people think this is a good thing, or if they still take the bigot's side.

  I’ve had a lot to say about Democrats, but there’s only one party whose base sees being a domestic abuser as a political plus. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:aunpu65mdrhwfie7ynymlzeh/post/3ms4a6mohv22i

  Tip of the hat to mainstream media, who credulously gave us those "Musk is getting out of politics" headlines last year and those "Musk has regrets" headlines last week, and will give us those "regretful Musk is getting out of politics" headlines next spring.

  Some points: 1) we still have flogging, maiming and lynching, and our carceral state is of a piece with it 2) we do have models of society w/o such an apparatus 3) "blowing up" is a mischaracterization But most importantly, this gets the order wrong. Destination comes first. The compass.

  It’s not a slogan. It’s a cause. Abolishing slavery was a cause, and everything that’s written below about prison abolition was written about abolition of slavery. It’s good to have causes, if they are just. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gu2jexu4d4mtqircynt5xx6b/post/3mrs5urzpic2q

  Abolishing our carceral state and our prison system would not preclude the need for some form of involuntary constraint. Abolitionist literature addresses this practically. Abolition involves reimagining our systems. The present system does not keep us safe; it poses a threat to us all. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:qttejugdkjsuoxma754hqjkl/post/3mrry6ncrzc2m

  Abolishing prisons in a country with a mass incarceration and enslavement problem is common sense. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6z24x4xsbpjii7kpyjspdj7d/post/3mrqnhv4whc22

  “It’s very important that you believe me or my company will collapse and I might go to prison.” oh OK well you’ve spent your life telling self-serving falsehoods, so here’s another $500b, go put the global economy on what you claim is a flying bus and steer it off of that nearby mountain RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:wbtjiqd5pshd5tsvwjv6xmr3/post/3mrod5lannk2g

  If you believe it’s important to keep the contested MI Senate seat out of Republican hands, realize that the exact same people who are donating to Haley Stevens to prevent Abdul El-Sayed from the Democratic nomination will be donating to the Republicans in the general.

  They believe they have the right to kidnap or murder whatever people they want for whatever reason suits their convenience, or for no reason at all, if that is convenient. Abolish ICE. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mrkhzjkpcc2q

  More and more I see the centrist claim that leftist candidates “can’t win” as less a belief in electability and more an admission that a leftist winning an election is not something they consider a win. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6hyt6mzgrzlnexel5re2lgjw/post/3mrfgoy4a2k24

  Even if the math is right, it’s far easier to win market share by differentiating than copying the leading brand; and DSA policies poll well in a vacuum—it’s Democrats they hate. It seems likely to me that the best way to get Republican voters is with candidates established Democrats fear and hate.
