The weirdest thing about hype surrounding “self-driving cars” is the premise that driving, as Musk puts it, is “drudgery.” Actually, driving is what’s fun about driving. Traffic is what’s horrible about driving. The solution to that is way more mass transit and many fewer cars.

It’s become beyond clear that we can’t expect even the most modest change at the federal level without a massive, widespread, and disruptive social/political rupture. Something on the scale of what happened in Chile. That doesn’t mean we’ll get it of course but it is what we need

The Dem establishment has no real plan to stop Bernie and can’t unite behind a single candidate to try and stop him because it has no coherent political proposal or vision. They don’t have faith in their own ideas in part because they have no ideas. Neoliberalism is exhausted.

Who does Israel have to kill for US weapons supply to stop? I feel like they could assassinate a member of Congress and get away with it. Absolutely revolting massacres our government is fueling in Gaza. And the insane thing is, American people know it. But Biden won’t say STOP.

I think there’s also a problem where generations “age out” of organizing when they have kids etc bc because we have activist culture instead of left institutions with spaces for people over the lifecycle. We’ll see what happens to millennials!

In victory speech, Petro said that the opposition didn’t have to worry about them eliminating capitalism because Colombia still needs to eliminate feudalism. He also reimagined left-wing Latin American developmentalism and regional integration in ecological/anti-extractive terms.

In May, a group of Bernie volunteers in Rhode Island came together to found @reclaimri . Less than four months later, our four candidates for the state legislature— @LeonelaFelix , @DavidMoralesRI , @MeghanEKallman , @SamuelWBell —all won decisive victories! When we organize, we win 1/

Bernie is right to say he was wrong to vote "yes" on the Afghanistan invasion. Barbara Lee alone was right. I don't know of any other member of Congress to have acknowledged this basic and important fact.

As the left grows, so does the liberal fantasy that leftists will just settle down and become liberals.
