If YourParty doesn’t even allow a member of a marginalized minority to name the discrimination they are subject to, that is not socialism.
Socialism means supporting the most disadvantaged and the poorest, not taking sides with bigots.
That is fascism.

The delegate at the YourParty Conference who was censured by the chair for using the word “transphobia” is trans.
This is EVEN worse than Labour, a trans person can’t even call out transphobia! Ridic.
I expect every news platform, plus every “free speech” campaigner to be up in arms about this…

the decision to join/not join the military is, in imperialist nations, probably the least complicated moral decision that shows up in the average person's life. just, dont agree to kill foreigners on the government's say-so when your government has a history of fucking spurious say-soes.

In order for the trans passport ban to work, State Department employees have been instructed to consider every American trans until proven cis. That’s a problem.

Reminder to treat zionists the same way you would treat a nazi. If you don't think a nazi deserves a 1 million dollar acting career than the same is true for zionists.
There are two outspoken Zionists on Stranger Things who have suffered zero consequences for publicly stating genocidal nonsense during the past 2 years. If you can't manage to boycott, or at least pirate that show, you can go to hell

Feels really significant that the Trump admin is making a concerted effort to force colleges to undo policies that made campus safe and accessible for trans people, because for so many trans people college is the first place they ever get to be themselves.

Northwestern’s leaders will likely try to justify their choice to appease fascist extortion with some BS about needing to help researchers get federal funds that were illegally withheld, so it’s important to note that virtually all of the researchers said not to.
So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.
