Lots of great details in @semaforben.bsky.social's latest; extremely helpful for mapping out who is influencing whom on the right. Have been thinking for a while that private groupchats are at least as crazymaking as public social media, and much harder to study.

Honestly it's so low on her list of heinous infractions it's hardly worth even commenting on, but the way Eve Barlow took a great Yiddish expression (די אידן זענען מיד ) and turned it into tool of ridicule infuriates me

liberals love to silence critics using Identity Politics until the person with the "right identities" starts saying things not endorsed by a NATO-funded think tank

The thing that's missing is an organized working-class movement without an ounce of investment in maintaining the system that got us here. If you want to fight back with the only method *proven* to stop fascism, get involved with a revolutionary socialist organization today.

“It is not enough to hate and believe in the past to make a revolution. Hatred and belief in the past are sufficient prods for the rebellion phase. We must love and be future-oriented if we wish to carry out the revolution.” - Ghassan Kanafani

I try not to be bitter, but it's very frustrating to see people only now understand the horrific & violent nature of the US state. Trans ppl have always been in crisis. Immigrants targeted with terror for decades. Black civil & economic rights under siege. Mass incarceration is half a century old.

We don't get to choose the terrain of class struggle, only how we respond to it. Our only choice is to fight & our only salvation from this evil is overthrowing the wretched capitalist system that created it & would again if we do anything less than totally abolish it. It's socialism or barbarism.

For Democrats, bipartisanship is practically a religious precept, so even when faced with the most racist, far-right policies designed to provoke a war with a nuclear superpower, all they can do is rush to prove that they can be a part of those things too. Bankrupt organization, bankrupt politics.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

How do I block myself from seeing all posts about Elon Musk's daughter. I emphatically do not care about this really weird celebrity worship.

Btw the newly released batch of JFK files includes an admission the CIA funded & controlled the groups behind the 1956 "uprising" in Hungary. The coup attempt was nakedly antisemitic & lynched many Budapest Jews, as Jews were seen as supporters of the socialist gov & many Jews held senior roles.

Socialist Hungary was among the first countries in Europe to decriminalize homosexuality. Like many of the Eastern Bloc states, these early gains by LGBTQ people were rolled back by the right-wing capitalists who overthrew socialism (with Western help) & often also celebrate Nazi collaborators.
