Reminder that the Soviet government was the only government at the time trying to liberate women from domestic work by providing more domestic services on a socialized scale like worker canteens and kitchens etc
Natalie Wynn @contrapoints.bsky.social • 22h Counterpoint: if the Prince of Darkness rises from a fiery portal at the lowa Caucus and declares his opposition to Donald Trump, I will ride to battle with the host of Hell usurp tha chef c @usurpthachef When asked if he'd vote for Gavin Newsom or JD Vance for president, Hasan says he'd vote 3rd party. 357 1 595 2.7K ... Parker Molloy O @parkermolloy.com • 19h What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish. 29 1 127 2.6K Natalie Wynn @contrapoints.bsky.social • 18h This thought experiment where the DNC chooses a candidate based on a negotiation with progressive commentators is fiction. I'm engaging with the grim reality of the American electorate. Look who they just put into office again. No one's waiting on my permission to run.
Parker MolloyO@parkermolloy.com • 18h That's a strawman. I wasn't arguing that the candidates sit down and negotiate with anyone before jumping in the race. I was making a point about the aggregate effect of publicly surrendering your conditions. Those are completely different claims. 4 1011 • 1.3K Parker MolloyO@parkermolloy.com • 18h The whole Democratic electability argument in 2016 and 2020 was built on the idea that who you nominate matters because swing voters have limits. Sanders would lose moderates, the argument went, so you've got to pick someone those voters won't reject. 6 108 668 ... Parker Molloy O@parkermolloy.com • 18h Okay, so if voters having conditions and limits is a real thing that shapes how candidates behave... why would you publicly announce that you have zero conditions? You're telling every future candidate they don't need to do a single thing to earn your vote. 5 10 20 • 724 •.. Parker Molloy O@parkermolloy.com • 18h That's all I was saying. Not that candidates negotiates with commentators before running. That when you broadcast "I'll take literally anyone," you've opted out of the one thing voters actually have: leverage.
A bit frustrating that I asked @contrapoints.bsky.social a straightforward question about the strategy of unconditionally pledging your support regardless of policy stances, she replied with a strawman, I called that out and elaborated on it, and she then responded to a bunch of people (but not me).
the bluesky experience:
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

Mayor Mamdani and President Trump meet in Oval Office.
I had a productive meeting with President Trump this afternoon.
I’m looking forward to building more housing in New York City.
it would be good to read up on the history of Frances Thompson's testimony regarding the Memphis massacre
how to get rid of the trans women to break the back of a movement or committee's maintenance? just put them in jail en masse to v-code them. there is a long history of sexual violence targeting women & the gender marginalized to scorched-earth political opponents
i hope more people are aware that the mass targeting to remove trans people out of public life is both violence against an oppressed minority but also has a strongly political bent, since trans people are often integral members of liberal & leftist organizing institutions

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
Ritchie Torres should simply resign for his give-ICE-agents-QR-codes suggestion. The seven Democrats who voted to fund DHS should be banished from society
a big part of the reason we’re in this problem is that libs have essentially been able to abstract away all the bad stuff America has been doing for the past 80 years bc they were comfortable and never had to see it. they should be forced to watch
the number of people who whine about seeing “snuff films” whenever the Gestapo murders someone are some of the worst around. you should be forced to watch that shit like A Clockwork Orange so you understand the imperialist violence done in your name with your money

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead
once again we are all tapping the sign
what normie liberals need to understand is that 2024 was a rejection of lesser evilism, and their continued support of a lesser evil will result in more of what we're now seeing.
what aspiring d politicians need to understand is we aren't doing lesser evil anymore, so you're gonna have to get good
broke: I dont like public transit
woke: I like public transit cause it helps connect community and people and is a very important public service

“Yeah ICE killed somebody but someone at the protest had a Palestine flag so i would have left if I went”
You are a useful idiot to power and you will never achieve anything
Weird how ICE hasn’t existed for most of the history of the US and we managed just fine.
For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
plain and simple: if you work for ICE, you should kill yourself
