"Yet the conditions of comfort coexist among conditions of misery . . . it’s worth noting that the wounds of class are often invisible." Very impactful and so fitting within the larger context of effective political communication. Love!
Honestly reading this today is the first thing that has given me hope in forever. I’m not a New Yorker but went down the rabbit hole and watched a bunch of Zohran Mamdani’s videos—his work with the taxi drivers is phenomenal! Thank you Rachel and Melted Solids!
Once again, Rachel answers a question I've been wondering about! Love this, their work is brilliant and hopefully resonates beyond liberal echochambers online.
The American Dream is a delicate one. Democracy requires a huge amount of attention. And the most massive bulwark in the way of keeping the dream alive is that Homo sapiens have a very hard time remembering what we set out to do. Watch Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln again and REMEMBER just how difficult keeping the Dream alive actually is. AND, now, in 2024 Homo sapiens seriously entered the 6th Extinction with 1.5 Temperature globally. SO, no matter what sort of used-car-sales-types have won the political bruhaha, Mother Nature is boss. She brought us in and she’s gonna take us our FOR SURE. So, the first big question is: What will Prez47 do when the 2025 Hurricane season jump-starts next month.
Phenomenal and important work, thanks for writing this! Melted Solids work reminds me of AOC’s original campaign video - wonder if they worked together?
The last paragraphs, so powerful.
