We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

We do no one any favours if we allow understandable anger to result in uncritical anti-Americanism. The Right does a fabulous job of erasing very strong American traditions of radical organising and activism.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Well-known Marxist agitator Andrew Carnegie would like a word.
I can’t remember who said it, but like 10 years ago someone said “if public libraries didn’t already exist, the concept would be treated today as preposterous left-wing gobbledygook,” and I think about that a lot
