He did a good job in this role

Manufacturing Consent by Edward S Herman and [redacted] is one of those oft-quoted-little-read books I found worthwhile. The whole framework is layed out at the jump and the rest is just examples so you can really just read the first bit

This Slate was vetted by True Gherkin Patriots

Just dudes defending a multicultural economic zone and WINNING

Flier for a book event: "Sponsored by Portland DSA & Haymarket Books: Jeff Schuhrke's No Neutrals There: U.S. Labor, Zionism and the Struggle for Palestine. Join us for an author talk and Q&A at Musicians Union Local 99 Hall, NE 20th and Sandy. Friday, February 27 at 6pm"

I'm really excited that @portlanddsa.bsky.social & @haymarketbooks.org are gonna host @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social in Portland in a couple of weeks to talk about his recent book on Palestine, Zionism, and the U.S. labor movement! Save the date!

And to atleast jab left, the loudest voices of dissention from this are often dedicated to moral handwringing over the actions of individual politicians (which are condemnable), without usefully articulating these paths as failed STRATEGIES instead of mortal sins

I believe in building something better, I just think the premises that:

1. The Democratic Party is a reliable vehicle for even marginal left-wing momentum
2. The Democratic Party can be taken over and redirected

Are both false and there isn't enough conversation on where to go from there

Reallignment is basically a bare-minimum strategy and I'm sour on that for different reasons. Bernie 3.0 with AOC or some other candidate is premised on a Party and larger country that is about as Democratic as Russia when it comes to implimenting any kind of systemic wealth distribution

On this discourse, it is not my perception that Democratic leadership at the presidetial candidate, legislative, or even maybe state level have the will or even desire to undo the last year, let alone whatever will have happened by the end of a full term

Even less so going beyond that

Hell yeah

I refer to posts on bluesky as “tweets” because there is a real chance it could someday play a role in elon musk losing the twitter copyright

I'm gonna just start calling posts here tweets. If they don't want the word let's just take it

I'm not gonna look in the bag and just take it on faith that this movie is a dead dove

Outside my normal shitposting, but I would also recommend this book as a first read on The Spanish Civil War and that you follow Nick. He posts really cool stuff and runs great tours in Barcelona if you ever get the chance to visit.

Hoping that an email manages to "find you well"

From door-knocking in the smallest chapters to electing a mayor in NYC, everyone in DSA worked hard to build for this moment! We are proud of this organization and the roles played by R&R’s NPC member Sarah and NCC members Daniel, Sofia, and Eli in DSA and YDSA’s recruitment drives this year!

This is funny, but I don't think the ends really justify this means

Luthen from Andor saying "I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them"

Starting a thread of speculation on what Luthen is talking about until it stops being amusing to me

No one in your circles cares about sports or the midwest

I only watch Gherkins Baseball, so I'm not up to speed on the other game.

However, I am universally against anyone from Seattle being happy

Yeah cool whatever check out that rockin pair of Hoka's on that stylish fella in the jean jacket

Do you have any idea how many 28 Years movies you could make with that much money?

Hunter Biden's legacy is unfortunately sullied by the actions of his father, not the other way around
