Went on @thenation.com's Fighting Fascism podcast to discuss a phenomenon too few are talking about: How the MAGA right are claiming to be animal welfare champions. The right loves to fill a vacuum and liberals/leftists are leaving a big one by ignoring the issue. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Is Animal Welfare the Next MAHA? (w/ Astra Taylor)

Podcast Episode · Fighting Fascism Podcast · August 3 · 55m

Our friend @astra.bsky.social explaining why she's sounding the alarm about the possibility that MAGA could outflank the left on animal rights. Could this be MAHA 2.0?

"Should Democrats be giving science lectures on parts per million? No. But should they be out there talking about what farmers are seeing on the ground? Historic droughts? The benefits of clean energy or creating new jobs? Absolutely." - @jamiehenn.bsky.social this week on Fighting Fascism!

Our friend @jamiehenn.bsky.social on what Democrats lose out on when they buy into climate hushing. Why, as the sky fills with smoke, wouldn't Dems want to make hay out of Republicans being cucks for Big Oil?

Taxing billionaires is an act of mercy! @mattsitman.bsky.social joins the podcast to talk cheap grace, forgiveness (it's hard!), and Russell Brand of course.

Misti Leon is suing Big Oil for killing her mother. A judge just ruled the case can progress towards trial. That’s a big fucking deal. newrepublic.com/article/2130...

The First Wrongful Death Suit Against Big Oil Is Not Going Their Way

A judge has ruled that tort claims against the industry can proceed to trial, potentially opening the door for prosecutors to become agents of climate accountability.

If you haven't heard about the burning of the Gaspee, and the original Rhode Island mafia, then your understanding of the American Revolution is seriously lacking. Educate yourself, with this conversation with @tadstoermer.bsky.social

The great @flyingwithsara.bsky.social on why @aoc.bsky.social would make a phenomenal presidential candidate. (You know, if Sara doesn't to it.

Zohran has shown that when a leftist takes executive power, the median Democratic voter will follow and they can remake their party. IMO it's a great argument for an AOC presidential run. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Why Zohran Mamdani Just Made the Case for an AOC Presidential Run

All of the mayor’s endorsed candidates won last week. His ability to reshape New York City’s political landscape shows what happens when a socialist takes executive power.

We defy you to not tear up watching @flyingwithsara.bsky.social tear up talking about what @sanders.senate.gov means to us all.

Which side are you on? @aaronregunberg.bsky.social talks to @doctorow.pluralistic.net about the fight against data centers around the country and the opportunities for a political movement organizing against them.

Singing little joyful songs to my four-year-old all morning about Hakeem Jeffries being sad

Cory Doctorow (@doctorow.pluralistic.net) lays out why it's so essential that we push back against Big Tech oligarchs' claims that their approach to AI is inevitable.

We deserve a city government that works for all of us. We deserve a mayor who will fight for renters. It’s time for new leadership in Providence. Let’s get @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social elected.

David Morales@davidmoralespvd.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I’m honored to have the endorsement of my friend, @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. Aaron has been a progressive leader in Providence for years. I am excited to stand alongside him as we work together to build a Providence for All.

I had a great time talking about the World Cup on this podcast and tried my best to make an argument why progressives should care about it even though it’s terrible in many ways

"The premise of our laws is that the fortunes of the people shouldn't be dependent on the whim, the caprice, the political prejudices, or the emotional stability of a few self-appointed men." Zephyr Teachout this week on Fighting Fascism @aaronregunberg.bsky.social + @jonathansmucker.bsky.social

"A monopoly is a mini-dictator over an industry. And if you have enough mini-dictators over industries, then you stop living in a free society." @matthewstoller.bsky.social explains why monopolies aren't just an economic problem -- they're an alternative and antidemocratic political system.
