I've noticed in my life that when I've felt hopeless and like I couldn't go on, the people who've said "Oh get over yourself and toughen up!" have actually done more for me than those who however well intentioned probably let me stay on the phone too long describing my despair.

Politics is a psychological battle. The alt right is pumped up on adrenaline, and corporate Dems by their own sense of self-importance. But a lot of left wing progressives are exhausted, frustrated, angry, and tell themselves politics is useless. So who do you think wins that one

Corporate Dems will do anything to defeat non-corporate backed progressive candidates in the primaries. If you believe non-corporate backed progressives are the way to win in 22, please donate what you can. They need our help! Watch these videos and donate candidatesummit.com

That’s why I wish more people had shown up to donate to Nina Turner. When we have the kind of people running who would really make a difference, we can’t complain if we don’t support them. Thousands more $5 donations would’ve helped her compete with Brown’s ubiquitous TV ads.
I'm proud to endorse Joaquin Vasquez @Vazquez4CA52 for Congress. The reason our government doesn't legislate on behalf of working people is because not enough of our legislators grew up actually knowing their concerns firsthand. Listen to Joaquin. He did!

I suppose if you aren’t looking at the million dollar donation from a crypto billionaire that paid for ubiquitous TV ads for Shontel Brown, you might think that. Money, particularly dark money, is poisoning our politics. This is not just about this one race.

They abandoned her. So did the movement in general, in a way. You can’t win a fight you don’t show up for.

They were both legitimate candidates. The main difference was the dark money that paid for Shontel Brown’s TV ads 50 to 1 compared to Nina’s.

The Democratic Party did more to prevent Nina Turner from getting into Congress than it did to prevent forces of alt right extremism from taking away our abortion rights. They fight when they want to. Their handwringing now belies a failure to act on this when they could have.

So basically unionizers at Starbucks will now be punished for being successful. There’s no way this should be legal. @SBWorkersUnited
Starbucks announces pay increases, says it's prohibited from giving them to unionized workers. Labor experts says it may be illegal for Starbucks to discriminate against unionized workers that way. nytimes.com/live/2022/05/03/…

She stands strongly and unabashedly for what she calls a “radical humanitarianism.” She is unequivocal in her support for the poor, the near poor and the barely middle class. She grew up in poverty and she herself has beaten extraordinary challenges. Plus she has a heart of gold.

Susan Sarandon was not responsible for this. beetpress.com/2022/05/03/des…

This will reach deeply into intimate parts of our lives. The passage of Roe v. Wade profoundly influenced how people looked at sex; overturning it will as well.
