It would've been so iconic for Algeria to have pretended to go for a mutually beneficial draw only to sucker punch Austria out of the World Cup in the last minute as revenge for something that happened 44 years ago despite how it'll doom itself to a tougher opponent next round but alas

Wait until y'all hear about Robespierre and his insistence on keeping a daily routine (including wearing a wig while it was becoming literally dangerous to dress "aristocratically,") inability to make eye contact with people, having meltdowns that weirded everyone else out, monotone-sounding speech-

The Jewish Labor Bund’s “history is the record of a search and a struggle for justice, dignity, and identity. And that struggle plainly has great relevance today.” Prof. Henry J. Tobias, 1972 @mollycrabapple.bsky.social on the Bund today:

HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS
OUR COUNTRY BY MOLLY CRABAPPLE

The more I dug into the Bundist past, the more I realized it was not past at all. It was, rather, a candle to illuminate the tumultuous present.
Despite war, state collapse, and genocidal repression, the Bund fought for the very multiracial, democratic socialism that a new generation now champions at the ballot box. The Bundists built alternate worlds of beauty, of courage, and of hope, which allowed their people to persevere even in the midst of an apocalypse. Their ideas are still vital today. The Bund was a Jewish group, but its history is not for Jews alone. It belongs to all of us who believe in the necessity of human solidarity. In the story of the Bund-across decades and geographies, ages and faiths I found the story of our own time, a blueprint for survival, a cautionary tale of death, and a philosophy that might yet save us.

To be against genocide in Gaza means we have to oppose the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism at the root of ongoing genocides in Sudan, Congo, and Tigray. No one is free until all of us are free. Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free Congo. Free Tigray.

Every leftist knows fellow leftists are some of the most annoying people on the planet but there's a gigantic difference between being annoying and having institutional power. If you spend most of your energy punching left instead of right you simply do not have your priorities straight
