If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Sadly I'm witnessing yet again too many fellow progressives ready to let democracy die so they can stick to their political purity tests. You can't make any progress unless you have officials offering us the best chance at negotiating that progress. Pragmatism is far too rare.

Tip for Dem candidates: stop trying, as many prominent Dems have, to offer audiences the “right” answers, the ones you think they want to hear or ones consultants have tested, and start speaking from the heart, from what you really feel. It is what the moment requires. You can’t fake authenticity.

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

Right-wing media is one of the greatest dangers to society and democracy.

40 years of 24/7 demonization on talk radio, a media landscape of monitized right wing propaganda, and firehoses of lies from the GOP goes a long way toward creating those numbers.

A very clear lesson for Americans who oppose Trump and think the solution was "what if we just leaned into the whole xenophobia culture war thing to win back the Trumpists."

It... does not work.

First porn, now YouTube, ID checks to access the internet are creeping in.

China & Russia started this way. Now their internet is locked down: no anonymity, no dissent, total surveillance.

We are sleepwalking into total fascism. Don’t buy the “protect the kids” excuse. They want total control.

Remember how in France after WWII they shaved the heads of women who collaborated with the Nazis.
We aren’t even gonna have to do that.
Their plastic surgery will remain as a mark of shame

Trump doesn't give a damn about us. In January a Minute Maid carton was $3.46, by May it was $3.96 and it is 4.47 now. I buy hamburger 10 pound packs, $25 in January, $29.95 in May now $35.96, all under Donald Trump. Shame on 80% of Southern Baptists, Assemblies of God and Mormons who voted for him!

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

There's no money to be made supporting Dems.

The first year of the Biden admin RUINED the media. Killed their podcasts, their book deals, andase them had to work to actually get stories.

So they just decided it was easier to make them up, source them to "anonymous dems" and cause chaos.

I originally made this post in reply to an article about Laura Loomer but I thought everyone should see this screenshot to show that neo-Nazism is more prevalent among right-wing websites and spaces that what you might expect. On right wing social media websites one sees Nazis all the time.

Do. Not. Stop. Posting. About. Epstein. And. Trump.

Post or share at least two Epstein/Trump related posts today, and the next day…Every. Damn. Day. 🔥

Without question the thing Trump benefits from more than anything else is being able to do stuff that would've triggered Watergate-level media outrage and turn it into a nothing burger you barely hear about

PBS and NPR, now apparently independent, should join the Eurovision network and request support from the international public media in exchange for international cross-cultural collaboration and the pooling of their programmes, infrastructure, stocks and data.

Interesting fact: I’ve subscribed to 3 PBS streaming channels on Amazon Prime thinking PBS gets the money. Turns out it’s just more for Bezos to get tax free, Amazon gets the fee. Cancelled all and going direct with PBS streaming.

the way you actually fight fascism is by locking up as many of their leaders as you can as quickly as you can, and identifying all their sources of power and influence and breaking those. they control the courts? break their control of the courts. crush fox news. destroy the federalist society. etc

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

You ever think about how the Great Famine in China was in large part a data manipulation problem created to please an authoritarian leader that led to the deaths of tens of millions of people?

The Alt National Park Service has spent months stealing from journalists, directly plagiarizing the work of others more than a hundred times.

With more than 4.3 million followers on Facebook and nearly 900k here on Bluesky, they've built a massive following on theft.

$1B in taxpayer dollars spent on an airplane none of us will ever fly on. $200M for a White House ballroom none of us will ever dine in. But we can’t “afford” to feed hungry kids 🙄

Stop calling them tariffs and start calling them what they are: taxes.

These are the Trump taxes. We should ask: what's the Trump tax on coffee? What's the Trump tax on cars? Copper? Bananas?

Trump's raised taxes on working Americans more than any president in living memory, & we should say so.

Imagine 67 Democratic Senators and a Democratic House majority.
The House could impeach all corrupt politicians and judges, and the Senate could convict and remove them from their positions. It could be done in a month.

Taylor: I had a six-figure income Substack until late 2023. I moved it first to Beehiiv then, because I didn't care for it, then to Ghost in late 2024. Each time the new site handled migration with no subscriber falloff and no income interruption. You are operating on bad information. Just move.
