In bargaining parlance Hong is a "nice to have" win, but Flanagan is a "must have." Craig is a psycho who could ruin dc statehood, court packing, ICE funding, filibuster abolition etc. Whether the WI Gov is a dem soc or a normie dem is important, but not Republic Ending.

This is actually the more important race compared to WI-Gov imo.

Heidegger is the best example of this. The Nazis never thought much of his ideas, but there is a definite "hitlerian occultism" to strains of his thought that needed to be cleaned by the French Existentialists

Calliope@calliope5431.bsky.social · 3d ago

Schmitt was one of *many* German celebrities, artists, and academics to hop on the Nazi bandwagon. But Nazi ideology was fundamentally anti-intellectual, and so while it captured intellectual institutions it nonetheless was never predicated on elite academic theory so much as it was on Hitler's id.

Knowing Haverford this likely leads to everyone ignoring it and the admin choosing to enforce it to "make an example" of some activist leading to nasty protests to involved barricading a cafeteria.

Eli Valley@elivalley.bsky.social · 3d ago

Haverford codifies antisemitism into campus policy, stipulating that fascism and genocide are intrinsic to Jewish nature.

Election Bluesky guy who I find annoying just admitted he works in HR. My "this guy loves at will employment" Spidey Sense is never wrong!

The screenshots reveal the bride, a UFCW executive director, as the kind of labor bureaucrat who treats it like any other C suite corporate job. You need to internalize certain business logics but, like Ho Chi Min using bourgeois tactics, you must never lose sight of the fundamental contradiction.

"training in Marxist economics tends to give you a) a weird, unrealistic and largely useless theory of economics plus b) a clear understanding of how economics relates to political power. While a training in mainstream neoclassical economics only gives you the first of these."

Automatic watches have gotten A LOT cheaper in the last decade. A $500 watch is what a $3,000 watch used to be. A $3,000 watch is what a $15,000 watch used to be. Even 150 AliExpress watches are what a great pricey department store watch used to be.

"quality, durable items have disappeared" is just...not true the perceived price delta for them has increased substantially both because of price pressure at the low end (fewer willing to buy top end, each unit gets more expensive) and because, on top of that, labor costs have gone through the roof

Running numbers for my Union's annual leadership retreat. Last year we increased dues-paying membership by 21%(~700). We organized 800 workers who become members after first contract. We secured 2 first contracts and a successor contract that won 50% raises in 2.5 years. Seems like we're doing ok?

Just like labor unions are more "real" because there is a gov backed system of law regulating them, so too will Tenant Unions become more real with gov backing them. This project is maybe the most important of Zohran's admin and could have literal history making results.

I got into a hollering argument about trans rights with a chud at my Olympic weightlifting gym a few years ago. A few weeks later, he dropped a full-blown N-bomb during a casual conversation. It's like clockwork.

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 2w ago

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

OP is not an energy expert or barrel counter, but 8 bucks is plausible if you have a big refinery disaster in the US. Such a disaster gets more likely the longer utilization rates stay near 100% since everyone is pushing out maintenance downtime to capture record crack spreads.

context for that thread being passed around. i will be transparent, i think it is weird as fuck to screenshot a black woman you disagree with and write up an entire thread where you heavily imply she's a nonblack dsa member. that seems like a narrative looking for a quote and making do.

I think it is notable that the post below actively elides the context of what it's quoting, who was delivering the criticism, and what they were criticizing. I will let you guys draw your own conclusions about why they might have done so

The perpetual Bluesky panic over "DSA Foreign Policy" seems to ignore the fact that voters don't care about foreign policy much at all. DSA could propose the reinvasion of Hungary or Czechoslovakia and voters wouldn't notice. Most of DSA wouldn't either because no one pays attention to national!

Building political power requires an eschatology, managing political power requires an anti-politics. The two simply don't work well together. People want their lives to matter, and mattering means an Utopian impulse. Centrism is, by contrast, theologically nihilistic.

The thing is, there just isn't a constituency to mass-mobilize people around knee-jerk centrist politics.

Deep lore here is that Jessica Tisch and her family are prominent members of this Synagogue. This moronic post from Buchdahl is likely orchestrated with Jessica's knowledge. A shame because she *was* a paragon of forward looking Reform Judaism.

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 3w ago

It’s embarrassing that the rabbi of Central Synagogue - one of the most prominent Reform rabbis in the US - is portraying Mamdani’s accurate description of Netanyahu as a war criminal as a sign of antisemitism. This is part of why young people take antisemitism less seriously than they should.
