“People around the planet, in all kinds of configurations, in the face of many different kinds of challenges, are being historical protagonists, which is to say they are not only the victims of history. And that’s what matters to me more than anything.” @rwgilmoregirls.bsky.social

Jess talking to Rory, the caption is "I don't like the word 'intersection' very much, but I think what people who find Kimberlé Crenshaw's idea of intersectionality useful are trying to say is that there are multiple interactions that shape experience."

Lorelei with the caption "What we will see are people who are struggling because of the organization of capitalist accumulation, whose need to control land, to have housing, to have food, to have water, to move around, to stay put, is shaped by the forces of organized violence."

The Democrats capitulation to the right on immigration and complete lack of vision on the issue is part of why we’re here. The damage it’s already done and will do is hard to fathom but somehow no lessons are learned.

Another camp sees a trap and wants to pivot to hitting Trump on his growing economic vulnerability.

A scene of Gilmore Girls with Rory and Lane with the caption "Taking that wider view through the lens of abolition, we can see that in any number of circumstances in which people are actually struggling, the contours of class will not necessarily reflect categorically something called the industrial proletariat."

A screencap of the show gilmore girls where Paris and Rory are at a graduation ceremony with the caption "Abolition compels us to look at how people are struggling, understand the organized abandonment that characterizes so much of everyday life under capitalism, and understand that such organized abandonment is maintained, bordered, and boundaried by the forces of organized violence."

4/5 To return to the NAIRU, in many ways, it comes back to something @rwgilmoregirls.bsky.social wrote in Golden Gulag--that the "[NAIRU's] sociological presence is bounded by the fatal coupling of power and difference.”
