"Not only was joy perverse in the midst of a genocide but the theme of joy is just not appropriate when people are facing homelessness, when people are facing housing insecurity, food insecurity, and so on." a must-listen The Dig w/ Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor thedigradio.com/podcast/democr…

Author Fatima Bhutto says it was "macabre" for Kamala Harris to "describe her politics as one of joy as she promised the most lethal military in the world." democracynow.org/2024/11/7/fati…

It’s clear liberals need a new vision and a new way forward. It should also be absolutely clear this is not the way forward. Trumpism offers fascist joy that aligns with its rhetoric and politics. Liberal joy is repulsive because it doesn’t align with a real political alternative

Democrats and liberals wonder why they lost then blame Latinos, Muslim, and working class voters. Meanwhile this was their campaign strategy:

Latino men are sexist and won’t vote for a female president! Except they did. In Mexico. This summer. Where they voted for the first female president in North American history. Sheinbaum is a climate scientist, Jewish, anti-Zionist, and progressive. US Dems and neolibs are trash.

Newer data on the Latino male vote. Turns out the majority voted Harris. But Dems/liberals jumped the gun and carved out a racist narrative and vilified Latinos. What happens when Trump uses this data against Dems? And when more Latino males flock to Trump who is really to blame?

Why are so many working class Latino, Black and White people voting for Trump? Not sure, but let’s go to a another website almost entirely absent of their presence to discuss why.

Just wrote a 1600 word essay on the Latino male vote for Trump, the crisis of neoliberalism, and why the first female president was elected in Mexico rather than the US. Looking for a venue to publish it in. Any suggestions on possible venues or contacts to editors you recommend?

Check out my commentary on the ā€œLatino voteā€ as a reflection of neoliberal crisis and decline, and why Latino voters went left in Mexico and right in the U.S. in 2024. And many thanks to Julio Ricardo Varela for letting me share these comments on the vital new forum The Latino Newsletter

While Brian Thompson was CEO of United Health Care, the company began using an AI to automate the denial of services. The AI was found to have a 90% error rate, but the company continued to use it, resulting in people being denied medically-necessary and fully-covered treatments.

Neoliberal politicians think banning books and abstinence education on leftwing ideology will turn kids away from hatred towards capitalism, ceos, and billionaires? Did they not pay attention to social media this last week?

Funny how Washington Post editors wouldn’t publish an editorial cartoon taking a jab at tech and media billionaires kissing Trump’s ass, but didn’t think twice before publishing racist dehumanizing cartoons aimed at Palestinians being genocided by the IDF
