as a trade unionist and jewish activist who stayed in jewish spaces, spoke the word genocide and fought for change without ceding jewishness, this is just a weird take. I don't give a shit why or how long it takes: I'you dont turn away anyone who joins. who believes they have too many allies?

This, more than anything else, is what Woke 1 was: Right-wing chuds claiming victimhood when their employers launch investigations, then being quietly cleared without major censure a few months later.

It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

All of these Natalie Harp stories are leaking for one reason: Someone in the West Wing is sick of Harp’s shit. Probably just a coincidence that it’s all happening as Leavitt is leaving.

All I would add is what I’ve learned working in labor unions. It was a choice to let organized labor get suffocated by regulation, laws and court decisions. The Democrats chose SV over labor. And they have been killed for it. Their elite doesn’t come from locals anymore, it comes from college dems.

its always been best to understand the trans panic as fear and hatred of all female bodies. it was always about making all women disappear. the scientific proof that trans women ARE women is that all trans panic resolves into misogyny.

I've further become convinced that all the great *popular* revolutionary movements in history, even the ones remembered as furthest left, had a conservative component in this sense. They were struggles to be able to take decency, respect, and law for granted, again or for the first time.

The post-tea party leftist experience in America is watching the right slowly recognize a problem we’ve been talking about for decades, reason their way to a policy solution whose logic and outlines we’ve also been talking about for decades and then fuck up all the specifics. Over and over and over

I saw platner speak once, before the latest revelations came out. I said to the folks around me: love his message. Love his voice. He’s really good on a podium and did the basics really well. Also: I believe every accuser and the ones to come. It was so obvious.
