  • it’s everything. the democratic party since Obama was elected has been unwilling to grapple with that our populace is split between people who think racism is an ongoing aspect of the fight for liberation, people who think racism ended some time in the past like in 1864, 1920, 1950, 1970, or 1989, and people who outright engage with racist ideologies. democrats try to engage with an idyllic populace who generally means well when the actual populace is a bunch of colonizers.

    our best bet for a president who can address all the problems of this political environment is basically the wokest white dude we can find. and the way tim walz is acting and behaving, he might be operating with the understanding that given bernie sanders’ age, it might have to be him.

    i ask everyone to do the following: pay attention to what tim walz does, but don’t treat him as your savior. every liberation movement has required three figures: the violent revolutionary (think Malcolm X), the pacifist the respectability politics people are willing to engage with (think dr martin luther king jr), and the emotional/spiritual leader that soothes people who are hurting’s souls (this leader usually goes unnamed because they are not looking for a position of power). you need to choose your role in our liberation movement as soon as possible and start agitating. and understand tim walz will never exit his lane of pacifist the respectability politics people are willing to engage with.

    tim walz, also, for how much we love him, has blind spots and will say some ignorant shit in tho years to come. have grace and patience with him for as long as he will listen. america has a long legacy of politicians who entrench themselves in something dumb because when you have as many critics as someone in office has, the legitimate criticism tends to get buried under a mountain of unreasonable criticism.


  • maaan could it be any clearer the republicans hate our Ukrainian allies. this is a slam dunk easy win and still they’d rather capitulate to the russian overlords. you know, until 2016, the one thing in america you could count on was no politician would fuck with russia. republicans hated them because they used to be communist, democrats hated them because they’re openly fascist. now we got a weird mix of republicans loving them because they’re openly fascists and certain “leftists” loving them because they used to be “communist”

    maaan we’re all out here falling for the oldest trick in the book. a populist is out here lying about what’s the plan and people are buying it. it’s so sad
