🚨☎️ if you have time today or tmrw morning call your representative about HR 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. They want to tell us we're not allowed to participate in BDS campaigns! THAT'S BULLSHIT! We have the right to spend our money how we choose. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 www.cair.com/press_releas...

YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Trans Athletes: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

I encourage everyone to watch John Oliver's piece on this, and I welcome conversation from anyone who actually takes the time to watch it and wants to discuss it in good faith. youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?... (3/3)

We can continue to have good-faith conversations about how to include our trans community in sports in a safe and fair way. But that's not what these bans are doing - they are designed to exclude trans people, mostly trans kids, because their authors want trans people to not exist at all. (2/3)

If you're unsure how to feel about trans people playing sports with their identified gender as opposed to their assigned gender at birth, you're not alone. Many people are concerned that there are fairness or safety issues, but there's really no evidence that that's the case. (1/3)

Three panel illustrated comic, black on a white background. Banner at the top says "Listen to your heart" with hearts on both sides. First panel is a long-haired, vaguely femme-coded person, shown from the waist up, looking at and holding their hand near a small door in their chest. Second panel the same person's hands are by their sides and they're looking slightly upwards. Third panel zooms in to show just the mouth and below, focused on the door in the chest which they are now holding open to show a heart with a face and a speech bubble says "unionize your workplace." At the bottom is a small Fight for $15 logo.

I think the best path to getting our demands met is with a general strike - protests are good, boycotts are better but still not enough. A critical step towards general strike is to unionize your workplace or join and be active in your union. If you don't know where to start try workerorganizing.org

Red text on white background reads: "the evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power." -MLK Jr. In the lower left is a black and white photo of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking in front of microphones with his right arm raised and extended, finger pointing out to the audience. In the lower right is a logo for Democratic Socialists of America New York City (NYC DSA).

To be an anti-racist you also have to be an anti-capitalist

Yes, I do see a difference, that's why I voted Harris. It was a full-on dictator vs the shitty status quo. Democrats pretend to care about the people but they still support mass incarceration and deportations and genocide. Liberalism leads to fascism every time because it fails the people.

Fascism is the merging of corporate power with state power. We've already been there for a while under both Dems and Reps.

What do you mean by democracy? Do you mean maintaining a system where money = speech and people in rural areas are over-represented? Because that's what Dem electeds mean. If they actually cared about democracy they would abolish the senate and electoral college and get money out of politics.

The two-party system is how we got here. Why should I be forced to vote for a party that doesn't represent me just because the other option is worse? We need to break the two party system with democratic reforms like proportional representation, ranked choice voting, and publicly funded elections.

It's not 🤷‍♀️ I'm not denying that antisemitism really happens and it's not okay. But criticizing Israel's government isn't the same as being antisemitic. "Israel speaks for all Jews" is an awfully convenient line to take if you're Israel and you don't want any criticism.

It's hard to fathom how the wealthy can behave the way they do. If I ever have more than I need it goes to helping other people.

The science behind the polar vortex. Graphic from NOAA shows two gray and white globes. Caption reads: air pressure and winds around the Arctic switch between these two phases (Arctic Oscillation) and contribute to winter weather patterns. Left globe has bright blue swirl over the North Pole labeled stable polar vortex. A strong jet stream is indicated with bright blue arrows that point west to east, parallel with latitude lines, cold air contained. The right hand globe has a light blue swirl over the north pole labeled wavy polar vortex. A weak jet stream is indicated with light blue arrows that point west to east but in a wavy pattern that is farther north in some places and farther south in others. White arrows indicate cold air moving south and red arrows indicate warm air moving north.

Found a graphic. It's normal for us to get a wavy polar vortex sometimes but global warming is making it more extreme.

You probs know this but for anyone who doesn't: global warming IS causing this cold weather. Less ice at the poles weakens the polar vortex, an air current that keeps cold air contained. The cold air moves closer to the equator causing colder weather than we'd normally see in these places.

Even though it's cold in FL, global warming is still the cause. Less ice at the poles weakens the polar vortex, the air current that keeps cold air contained to the poles. A weak polar vortex allows cold air to move closer to the equator. But that's too much science for these people.

Yeah, I'm well aware she's not a leftist. I'm saying Democrats fight against leftism harder than they fight against fascism. Like when they circled the wagons against Bernie, or when leftists democratically took over the NV Dems and the establishment took all the money and created a shadow party.

Musk's salute was nothing but a calculated distraction. Now everyone's talking about that instead of questioning how he was allowed to buy power and what he's doing with it.

Democrat politicians would rather have fascists in power than leftists. Their interests are aligned with capitalism and they don't want to see it challenged.

The wealthy and corporations donate just as much to Democrats as they do to Republicans. Both parties answer to the rich, not to the people. We need to break the two party system with democratic reforms like proportional representation, ranked choice voting, and publicly funded elections.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) - Working towards a better future for all. Working towards a better future for all.

But also, we will never fully reform our way out of oligarchy. Our real power is that when we don't work, capitalists don't make money. We need to be laying the groundwork for a revolution. That means labor organizing, mutual aid, community organizing. We're doing this at DSA. dsausa.org

I believe if we want to get electoral power for the people we have to start at the local and state level. Come up through the ground like weeds. Support candidates who don't take corporate money. BE candidates who don't take corporate money. Local and state policies can make a big material impact.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation but unfortunately I can't help. I'm barely surviving myself.

Community doesn't just happen here in the US, we have to build it. That's what organizing is, building community, building relationships.

I'm on rednote and people have been really nice and welcoming so far. Excellent cat videos.

Hell yeah
