For what it's worth, if you are a socialist or interested in socialism, it is *my job* to educate you, so ask away.

finally got a job after being unemployed for a year and paid off 50% of my pretty sizeable credit card balance so the bank sent me a letter saying they’re decreasing my credit limit

In 2022, the first year students walked out of convocation and joined our picket line, and marched with us to the president’s office.

reading the pope and Obama’s Gaza posts it’s interesting how there is simply “the hostages” and not “the Israeli hostages”. The fact that Israel holds 3,376 Palestinians in indefinite detention without trial (a/k/a hostages) simply doesnt factor into any of this. A total nonissue

Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.

Fathers don't usually die during childbirth
It's funny how after the birth of a baby, announcers declare that "mother and baby are doing fine".
What about the father??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Father's generally, do not die during childbirth, nor do they suffer physical from complications of childbirth.
However, About 260,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2023.

Interesting how these mistakes only happen in one direction - falsely accusing Muslim elected officials of things they didn’t say to portray them as violent or hateful - when’s the last time you made a mistake that gave a Muslim politician too much credit?

Asked what Mamdani policy he finds most objectionable, Paterson says freezing rents — “there’s no way he could do that.” (He most likely can, through the rent guidelines board)

Much of this is reasonable counsel from a moderate social democratic perspective, but the significance of the cops is woefully and tellingly underplayed: "Unless he can develop a working relationship with the police and their union, they could try to thwart his plans."
Assembling a successful electoral coalition is difficult, but forging a governing coalition to run the city is even harder.
