"After many of Biden’s accomplishments have been dismantled and erased by right wing courts, it will become clear that his inability to get to the right place on those two issues was one of his most deadly miscalculations," writes @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-end-of...

In a system where power accumulates over time, old people will inevitably come to be in charge of everything. Breaking out of that requires some collective courage from the political class. Unfortunately they tend to have none.

The fact that American workers are doing well by historic standards does not have to tie us in knots. Yes they are doing well, and also they would be doing a lot better if the rich weren't skimming off a significant portion of the working class's wealth.

Also interesting I think is how Mills thinks about navigating labor's (sometimes counterproductive) relationship with the Democrats--basically "we need to take over the party."

This has been a fun outlet for me, and I've written some stuff there I'm really happy with. More than that, though, it has been reliably excellent to read every day, with a wide array of posts from a very diverse and talented group of people. I'm biased, but I think it's a steal for the price.

One thing that is very annoying is when authority figures sanctimoniously argue that "accepting the consequences" is an important part of doing civil disobedience correctly. The consequences are part of the injustice!

People have shot up an elementary school, people have shot up a country music concert, people have shot up members of Congress themselves, and still we cannot restrict guns. I can't think of another interest group that can murder every political constituency and still maintain its power. Incredible.
