My superpower is that my time as a Chicagoan was spent in working-class neighborhoods on the Far Northwest Side, which is why I remain convinced that we need to #BuildTheTunnel and bring regional rail to Chicagoland

Seriously comrades you gotta ditch this politics of personalities shit. Mass organizing is still the key, ultraliberalism is still a dead end, and the best thing a politician can do in America is make things easy for his constituents. This was way more effective than all of Pritzker's empty bluster

The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on.
The history doesn't back this up. What actually happened is more revealing. 🧵

the Democratic establishment is constantly complaining criticism from the left is per se unfair sabotage that damages the party and also constantly taking gratuitous shots at the left
this is trash and I don’t think it’s even electorally worthwhile trash
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Sometimes I wonder if certain alders even enjoy living in a city at all
The alderperson provided an update today: many of the already installed protections will be removed and planned protections will not be installed
the bike lane construction in question
it goes from 18th/Clark to 18th/Michigan, with a protected intersection at 18th/Wabash

there has never been a time where mutual investment from the capitalists has resulted in conflicts of interest. as we know, the intense globalization of the late 19th century continued without interruption and no major wars amongst capitalist powers ever emerged, as all were invested in imperialism!
“Marxists said all of the entire capitalist class is invested in maintaining climate change and there are no conflicts of interest within the capitalist class”
No one said that. That is a strawman of an argument someone is making that you twisted up in your mind to denigrate Marxists.

This and withdrawing from Afghanistan we’re inarguably in the top 5 best things the Biden administration did. Too bad he squandered that by going to bat for an apartheid state that was very publicly murdering children every day on our dime
Biden basically ended the drone war.
It is better to have imperfect Democrats at the controls of the American war machine than bloodthirsty Republicans who will use it to open a network of secret torture prisons or extra-judicially murder central American fishermen.

Biden nearly ended the drone war, and nobody noticed
Why is the White House so silent about this significant achievement?

it's one thing to see cis people propagate fearmongering lies and disinformation, but trans people should not be doing that!

We SHOULD use jargon like "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" precisely because colloquial phrases like "middle class" and "liberal" are subjective and contradictory. Subjective phrases muddy the waters and confuse the people. Marxists have precise words with precise meanings. Use them!
