A Wooloo is here I guess

Not sure how socialist it is to be like "Only people who paid the taxes and have the ID to prove it get to benefit from our service." I don't pay Washington State taxes but I get to enjoy visiting a Washington State park.

"They'll make you show ID to buy bread" has been a GOP attack on Democratic promotion of ACTUAL social programs, not Mamdani's masturbatoriums

the late senator graham and i disagreed on pretty much everything, but credit where it’s due. this quote of his is an all-timer:

Gotta love how the gay rights, women’s rights, anti racism, anti classism, labour rights, islamophobia of this entire website go to hell when countries like China are concerned.

The “left” in the USA has been breathtakingly hypocritical about the plight of Uighurs in particular, but you can see this elsewhere too (cough Ukraine cough), for years at this point.

My spouse goes to every single school meeting they host, and often is the only person to show up. When the school was debating putting The Ten Commandments in every school room, they held a meeting about it. Guess who was the only parent to be at that meeting? Guess who voted “no”? Guess what the school released as a memo after the meeting? (“Due to popular vote we will not be hanging religious writings in our school rooms.”) And this is just the only time I can prove his vote was the deciding factor in policy change, I know he’s probably swayed more changes (or prevented changes), like taking books from the library or imposing collective punishments on students or letting cops run around inside the building. Because he always shows up.

I managed to change the dress code in my school 😭 (with the help of other people ofc!) But basically organising on the small local level can do sm

re: LRB, tbh idk that we can call the Nazi presence in Pro-Palestine spaces “infiltration” when the Father of Palestinian Nationalism recruited for the Waffen SS, and that legacy has carried forward in the rhetoric and practices of nearly every government or major organization that the movement has spawned.
