i think left wing candidates with a strong vision, and messaging translated directly into real folks' material conditions, dont have to compromise on social issues to win. just say "it's none of my business, i love them how they were made", bait reactionaries to harp on minorities instead of housing

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

a big way that post-9/11 islamophobia manifests in regular folks is that every hadith some fringe branch of a branch of a branch of islam accepts represents all muslims, when like, judaism and esp. christianity have similarly regressive ultra-orthodox/extremist branches we "no true scotsman" fallacy
Jfc. Her islamophobia is off the charts. One of her Insta stories is a Londoner talking about Sadiq Khan imposing no-go zones and sharia courts in London.

As socialism gets more popular in the US watch who the capitalists are willing to promote and team with to protect themselves
the thing about the Fuentes 'feud' or whatever it is...is that it ultimately helps him. he's getting the attention he wants which is akin to legitimacy. more normies in my life have now heard of him and i just don't think attention works the way it did with like, David Duke, say.

primitive man in their live sets have been doing these breakdowns where they run drone and feedback through like a bitcrusher and manipulate the inputs to make it bug out, and they put some of that on the new album, fucking, so brutal. the new album really slaps.

this is still a big backslide - this is an annual vote since 1992, and usually the only opposed votes are USA and Israel, sometimes with up to 2 other nations. 7 votes against is the most opposition this resolution has ever had. also up from ~0-3 abstentions to 12.
BREAKING 🇨🇺🇺🇳 With 165 countries in favour, the United Nations has voted to condemn the US blockade of Cuba for the 33rd time — despite an unprecedented campaign by the State Department to stop them.

my favorite thing in the world is the right wing singles on Love Is Blind being like "the dating scene sucks!" and then, when freed from it, they immediately reinvent it with all its worst aspects hyper-magnified and inflict it on themselves and others.

the forever canadian petition, which has a huge popular margin on separatism, is not going to get over the threshold to qualify.
so, sorry to be a doomer, but there is no chance your ucp mla who won the popular vote is getting recalled. the law was written so these would be impossible.

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them
