"Over the last 30 years only 2 presidential candidates managed to top 51% of the popular vote: Obama and Biden.

Dems won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections. The last time a major political party enjoyed a comparable streak? Never."

The peculiar situation Dem leaders now face: some of the same holdouts demanding a CBO score showing Build Back Better is fully paid for are also strong supporters of the infrastructure bill, which CBO says is NOT paid for and adds $256 billion to the debt.

Watching the “Critical Race Theory” lie become a central grift of the GOP in just a few months really highlights how broken American politics is, and how ill-equipped traditional media is to keep up with it.

She is correct.

The defensiveness about maintaining power and influence is understandable in the context of politics, but ultimately their job is to help people. Even if that could result in losing power, it should be worth the risk.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

This is especially true for early-career folks. I, for the most part, am a respected and well-treated person now that I'm seen as having "a lot of value". But before I got here? And the sort of shit I've seen other marginalized folks have to live with?

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

like, I can't just tell people "stay away. here be dragons", because the fact of the matter is that yes, this is where a lot of the money for the middle class is actually flowing. But I also feel icky encouraging people to come over, because I _know_ the abuse they'll go through.

mentoring anyone in tech, esp as a marginalized person, is a balancing act between recognizing the immense privilege working in this industry has the potential to bring, while at the same time acknowledging how abusive it is and will continue to be. :(
