Excellent piece here by @kutalik.bsky.social that helps us to develop a much more nuanced, and thus more accurate and useful, understanding of the dynamic between reform and revolution. PS—my life partner wrote about this very topic some 19 yr ago. Glad to see more people thinking about this today.

After Zohran, the organized left is in a great position. Too bad it's lead to us fighting a bunch. I try to make sense of things.

nice a fun little read that details the mechanism behind why exactly "common sense" is a red flag phrase to me, that I wouldn't have been able to articulate

This week, lefitst antiwar group Code Pink met and congratulated Marjorie Taylor Green for her "anti war" activism. This piece gets at why that was fucking stupid.

“The fact that “right populism” exists proves this, as the right is inherently opposed to empowerment of the masses. The things that populism describes are not political substance, but a way of branding political substance. A way that, when used by the right, is deliberately misleading.” Brilliant

Today, with the author’s permission, we offer you a re-printing of a piece @breadnrosie.bsky.social wrote for @powermap.bsky.social. Rose lays out why Janet Mills represents a centrism that does not meet the moment, and is a bad choice to represent Mainers in the Senate.
