In a Democratic club meeting, LA Mayor Karen Bass pronounced herself "flabbergasted" by Nithya Raman's entry into the mayor's race. "Iāve worked closely with Nithya, helped her gain the Democratic endorsement, helped her clear an encampment in her district," she said. "I am going to fight."

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Yeah my sense is today is more in the hands of an aggregation of activist orgs and small business owners. Some lefty union locals have endorsed locally (but have they organized? Not clear.) This is the PSL/vanguardist strategy at work.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely. They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

I complain that constitutional reform is never taken seriously by the UK left but it pales in comparison to how little discussion within elite US liberal and left circles about serious constitutional reform.

It is amazing to see it continuing even now! What is ironic is that of course, this self-preservation will not continue to be functional for much longer now even for this cosseted group. But it is shameful anyway. Truly no sense of belonging to a society beyond a narrow social class

I'm really sorry to say it but the attitude and posture of elite institutions has been a massive problem. Reproducing their comfortable social worlds has come above everything else. An inconsistently applied set of epistemic or other professional values has been in the internal justification for it.

Any org security is only as secure as your trust with one another and the best way to keep people safe is to organize in public. Heavy opsec culture makes it easier for bad actors to fuck with your organizing.

āBut what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."Ā Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say āNo, make me,ā they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

So when authorities say āshe tried to run over an officer,ā that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

I continue to think the 1850s are an instructive comparison here. Imagine a state governor responding to the conflicts between abolitionists and forces of the slave power by going 'let's have a peaceful day of unity.' This is kind of like that I think - not a contribution to moral/social progress.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Randi has a storied history of being on the wrong side of key political issues when big money is involved (see also: healthcare). Almost makes you wonder why this person has been president of one of the biggest labor unions in the U.S. for *seventeen* years now.

Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isnāt a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out. Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They donāt want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.
