California voters in 2020 when given the choice to forever classify rideshare & delivery drivers as “independent contractors” with no benefits or labor protections or to not do that and allow them to work as employees with benefits and protections:

Literally not a single DSA candidate is a socialist. They do not fit into the description of socialist in any way that isn't a complete redefining of the word. Every single one of them propose a platform of managing the administration of capitalist relations, not destroying them.
typically dsa candidates are socialists

And we will defeat defeat.
On this day, 47 years ago, the Black Liberation Army heroically freed Assata Shakur from prison. From Prairieland, to the Filton 25, to Fergie Chambers, to Jahki McCray: liberation for our political prisoners, by any means necessary.

y'all... this is likely a wrap on the academic article system as it exists now. That's not entirely a bad thing but we'll have to create something else.

“Police Brutality” is a redundant term. Policing IS brutality. Policing IS violence work. Abolish the police!
🚨​Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology. They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her. ​She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance. The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others. ​We need justice, accountability, and answers. ​#HoustonPolice #PoliceAccountability #JusticeForHer #MedicalWorkers #CivilRights #HPD 🎥Sedrick Baldwin

Black churches will condemn their own people for being gay and then turn around and welcome these racist white men with open arms.

Venezuela announces privatization of state entreprises, like PDVSA, which was the engine behind crucially-needed social programs that helped slash poverty, illiteracy, fund healthcare, education. This is after Trump/Rubio said the oil was for "the good of Venezuelans." Shameful.
🇻🇪 Delcy Rodríguez anuncia que Venezuela devolverá o venderá empresas estatales no esenciales La vicepresidenta ejecutiva informó que las compañías en manos del Estado consideradas no estratégicas serán ofertadas al sector privado o restituidas a sus antiguos propietarios afectados por procesos de expropiación.

"Haiti is a laboratory where these people can come in & kill our people with no recourse ... It’s been 22 years of a foreign occupation with thousands of our people dead and killed, but yet we’re sitting here talking about gangs. The biggest gangsters are the US and its minions."

best description of academia may be: what if the difficulty of becoming a pro athlete without any of the money or notoriety
Most non-academics assume that our job prospects are like those of doctors or lawyers. Yet (napkin math) there are likely a similar number of tenure track political theorists in the United States as there are active NFL and NBA players.

Someone posted: The ruling class doesn’t need you to think capitalism is good. They just need you to think any alternative is worse. Your apathy is just as good to them as loyalty.

Google had to cannibalize a business where they have 90% market share (Search) to build a business where they have 25% market share (Gemini) If you think 30% decline in the stock from the top is bad, buckle up because it should be 50% at least
