Neera Tanden being nominated for the budget job was the LAST STRAW for me with the DNC/CAP/MSNBC circle. When I heard that, I immediately paid my dues to join the @DemSocialists!!! 🌹 #Blexit, stage *left*

New DSA comrades: I don't have a SoundCloud, but I am writing a book on how the Republicans, the Democrats and capitalism itself have built a world with a perpetually created viral underclass

I guess closer to a SoundCloud, I was recently on @BadFaithPod with @briebriejoy and @virgiltexas and @DrDooleyMD.

Our turkey talk was the fuel.

Neera Tandem was the ignition spark.

Democratic Socialism will be the rocket we ride to a better future!

@BadFaithPod @briebriejoy @virgiltexas @DrDooleyMD So @brian_goldstone, one of my favorite writers and one of the peers I most look up to (for his ethics, scholarship, compassion and writing chops) also joined tonight and asks--HOW MANY WILL NEERA TANDEN ALONE DRIVE THIS WAY TONIGHT?

Welcome, comrade Dr. Goldstone!

LOL, according to Wikipedia, in 1988, "Tanden worked as a precinct leader in the Bel Air district of West Los Angeles where many households had already contributed to the Dukakis campaign."

Does everyone remember when Neera Tanden used Think Progress to run some good journalism (but a lot of propaganda), then after they were unionized, shut it down and reopened it with scabs?! splinternews.com/the-center-for…

I might* actually fear Neera Tanden more than Trump's ppl bc Tanden et al control & manipulate research & media so effectively. They don't just run Fox/Breitbart - they manipulate messaging very effectively and insidiously.

*Might, but I won't fear -- I'll organize anew!

For me, this whole administration is going to the Obama years redux without:

- Obama's charm

- The "it" factor of 1st Black POTUS

- The political naivete I had 12 years ago, before I learned, grew, was a reporter, went to grad school & matured

Sometimes I think there's little difference between my Facebook and Twitter communities.

And sometimes I notice that on my tweet & it's quoted tweets, 3,348 people have "liked" that I joined the DSA on here and 4 (four) have on Facebook lol

Wasn't looking forward to years of CAP, MSNBC, Saturday Night Live, former President Poundcake etc telling us w liberal smarm to shut up & accept whatever crumbs we get or else...

And guess what? We don't have to! They never bought me so they don't own me.
