The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on.

the Democratic establishment is constantly complaining criticism from the left is per se unfair sabotage that damages the party and also constantly taking gratuitous shots at the left
this is trash and I don’t think it’s even electorally worthwhile trash
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The alderperson provided an update today: many of the already installed protections will be removed and planned protections will not be installed

it goes from 18th/Clark to 18th/Michigan, with a protected intersection at 18th/Wabash

there has never been a time where mutual investment from the capitalists has resulted in conflicts of interest. as we know, the intense globalization of the late 19th century continued without interruption and no major wars amongst capitalist powers ever emerged, as all were invested in imperialism!
“Marxists said all of the entire capitalist class is invested in maintaining climate change and there are no conflicts of interest within the capitalist class”
No one said that. That is a strawman of an argument someone is making that you twisted up in your mind to denigrate Marxists.

This and withdrawing from Afghanistan we’re inarguably in the top 5 best things the Biden administration did. Too bad he squandered that by going to bat for an apartheid state that was very publicly murdering children every day on our dime
Biden basically ended the drone war.
It is better to have imperfect Democrats at the controls of the American war machine than bloodthirsty Republicans who will use it to open a network of secret torture prisons or extra-judicially murder central American fishermen.

Biden nearly ended the drone war, and nobody noticed
Why is the White House so silent about this significant achievement?

We SHOULD use jargon like "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" precisely because colloquial phrases like "middle class" and "liberal" are subjective and contradictory. Subjective phrases muddy the waters and confuse the people. Marxists have precise words with precise meanings. Use them!

i am very exhausted by disinformation about the cost of transition healthcare. it costs less than $100 for 1-2 years of hormones, depending on your exact sourcing. presenting HRT as impossibly expensive and inaccessible to people who need HRT but don't know how is equivalent to medical gatekeeping.

Also this is just another example of why we need universal healthcare.
