“The stories that matter are the ones that we are actually in.” @writerguygames the experience designer behind the World Without Oil talks about creating stories collectively.

The “would you have urged America to show restraint after 9/11” question is so insane to me because not only did millions of people do just that, but I don’t think anyone in history has ever been as thoroughly vindicated as them.

The GOP has introduced a bill to EXPEL Palestinians from the United States. I cannot read such things without remembering what happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor.

Weird I thought this was only supposed to happen if we raised the minimum wage

The idea that GOP are about to nominate Jim Jordan of all people (yes, Jan 6th Jim Jordan, ban-all abortions-from-conception Jim Jordan, sexual abuse coverup Jim Jordan) for *Speaker of the House* in an attempt to save their majority… they deserve to lose.

Sec Yellen is right. The US can afford two wars. We can afford 4 wars. The US could also afford universal healthcare, a job guarantee, end to poverty. The question of what we can afford is not a real one. The only question, and the only thing that matters, is what we prioritize.

unfathomable horror & hypocrisy & complicity. the grinning skull of the entire colonial white supremacist bloodthirsty global project we’re all trapped in, laid bare for us to see in real-time. the kind of night I wish I believed in god, so I could pray for gaza - & for all of us

I’ve never seen anything like what I’m seeing now in my more than half a century of political awareness.
This pales in comparison even to the aftermath of 9/11 in many ways.
I’m frankly at a loss for words.
This is a beginning of something big that I cannot yet see clearly.

People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen. wired.trib.al/SLWLk0E

Just had one of those holy shit moments where you step back and look at it all: Santos is under indictment, the GOP can’t keep a speaker, their leader has 91 felony counts and told people our nuke sub capabilities - and the media still treats this like a horse race.

Aid to Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s an investment in global stability, defending the world order against aggressive dictatorships, and helping a sworn ally fend off a genocidal invasion by a sworn enemy. Nor does it preclude spending more on the border, crime, or anything else.

This. This strikes me as crucially important to this moment:

Republicans have no evidence against President Biden so they created misleading images for today’s impeachment hearings.
