It’s a shame that the women’s liberation movement was, for 50 years, personified by Gloria Steinem — someone who never really shared that movement’s emancipatory goals.

Gloria Steinem Was the Godmother of Neoliberal Feminism
Gloria Steinem died this week at age 92. The establishment’s favorite “radical” feminist, Steinem worked with the CIA to promote reactionary propaganda and helped direct the women’s liberation movement into a corporate-friendly, anti-socialist direction.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

If Democrats want to take economic populism seriously, they would be talking about broad-scale medical debt relief, wide-spread student debt relief, and rent-control + tenant protections. People's largest bill every month is usually rent. If not rent, probably a debt payment.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?
A picture of the apartment building in Tehran where Hossein Salami, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, was killed. The building shows a hole in the side and scorch marks where a bomb drone has apparently hit. The window of the apartment shows smoke from flames. Almost no other building is damaged, not even the windows broken. Photo credit to Alpha Defense.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
