If this was a textbook I was studying…the whole of it would be highlighted.

Where in the Sam Hell have you been, Jared? 🫶🏽

We’ve so missed you in this cluster fuck! Danielle ❤️‍🔥has been tirelessly holding down the fort, and she is so right about “the moral bargaining”…so many fucking red lights fucking blown through by so many of us, especially clueless white folks.

I am so done with this bullshit!

Along with Jared, I agree — WE MUST ALL quit couching our language choices and the TERMS we stipulate.

We MUST BE BOLD and call for Socialist rebellion/ reform. If we must temporarily couch our platform as “Democratic Socialist” like Mamdani dared to put forth, then so be it.

But I think a mass majority of us in this contiguous blob need to proclaim we want social changes!

What’s the strategy to DEMAND CHANGE?…It’s motherfucking Socialist REFORM❗️

Something the Americans can stomach — not Dem Socialist, but the Socialist REFORM Party. A party that can state our TERMS clearly.

I welcome comment,

So, supposedly Waltz called in the National Guard? Well where the fuck were/are they?!!! What a crock of shit.

(I welcome comment. This is one of the few Substacks I can afford to be a paid subscriber for, so I welcome conversation…being in discourse with other sentient beings in community. 💞)

whew good episode! i think this is what has been weighing on my mind - clear people with authority were not fighting and pushing back hard enough, if at all (at least in Maryland, i see a bit more); been thinking a lot about just what do i do. i am in the middle of needing to find my own place to live and dreading dealing with landlords on top of life's regular chores; and dealing with this mess?

Jared, it is so discouraging to hear that organizing is not really happening. i see so much in-fighting on social media....

love the ending: "think about what you would do if someone came and tried to take a neighbor kid; do that"
