I do not believe the reason kamala and Hilary lost is because they're women. I think it's because anyone excited to vote for a woman as president also doesn't want the first woman president to be a war crime supporting pro-deportation and police brutality imperialist.
The fact that one of the top arguments people throw against communists are just like βwell the first round of revolutions werenβt perfect therefore we should give up on having a classless societyβ like good god. The bourgeois revolutions had beautiful results I guess
10k raised already! Keep sharing!
The US campaign to starve Cuba of fuel should be understood as genocidal. They are targeting a whole nation, deliberately destroying conditions necessary for life, in flagrant violation of international law. Pure barbarism, there is no other way to describe it.
It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.
100 - I was totally unprepared on Saturday and my friends that had never been gassed even more so. This was a permitted daytime march. Lesson learned - gear up always. That is where we are at. Kids too!
Oh no, I was just clarifying that it was in fact an organized march. I was there. I have never seen anything like it in terms of the attack of a march like that in Portland. Also, chill.
It was also a protest put on by the Portland labor unions
i know portland doesnβt count as real america on the east coast but i saw very little national news coverage of this over the weekendβand the coverage i did see wasnβt prominent. i think a bunch of little kids and nurses and families getting gassed is newsworthy

Today was supposed to be the type of action that everyone should feel comfortable attending. I have never seen that kind of attack on that kind of march in Portland
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
ICE gassing kids in Portland who showed up for a union led protest.
This is what the agents signed up for.
This is why the agency was created.
Turn DHS to dust, then salt the ground from whence it came.
A cloud of tear gas outside the Portland ICE facility. A person in a shark costume emerging from the cloud.
Like many have said, the gassing outside ICE today was really bad, and it impacted a huge group of people. I heard multiple people say they felt like they were going to throw up as they tried to leave the area. (I experienced similar effects.) It followed a peaceful protest led by labor groups.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
I just wanna take this moment to remember the 40 million plus Chinese and Russian communists who died fighting Hitler and fascist capitalists who everyone seems to forget about.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.
I mean this in a way I have never meant it before: nightmare blunt rotation
The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."

It never got any likes
Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.
I would honestly give anything for people to quit dick riding the Obamas, the Bidens, THE CLINTONS. Like, have some fucking dignity for Christ sakes. These people paved the way to where we are. They donβt care about you. They never did.
Looks like Lexi Alexander (@lexialex.bsky.social) was suspended? WTF? She's one of the most vocal Palestinian supporters on here (and is Palestinian herself). @mommunism.bsky.social had you noticed?
FEDERAL AGENTS SET OFF BLAST before raiding a home (with two small children inside) in Huntington Park.
This morning - a dozen federal agents raided the house of a man (US citizen) who allegedly rammed his car into a CBP vehicle.
Fuck these fascist pigs.
Hey everyone,
Been quiet about this, but I had to give up my home of 13 years this week. Canβt go back to work until August & between moving expenses, medical bills & car repairs, Iβm out of money. I need help to get by the next 2 months & be able to report.
