Graham Platner event on Peaks Island tonight. This might be the island’s entire population.

@mike_slugs can u explain please thanks

@BigMeanInternet @zwstein @NotEnoughSlices @ptadoherty If we get a benevolent leader who doesn’t herself require disciplining, maybe ur 2nd plan wud work. Isnt“the electoral realm should be where we go only to consolidate victories won by organizing,”responding to the unlikeliness of this? Not to mention getting elected in 1st place

@BigMeanInternet @zwstein @NotEnoughSlices @ptadoherty What does disciplining labor even mean tho? Passing legislation thats anti worker? Anti organizing? Isn’t it impossible for a left elected to discipline labor?

At a certain point don't democratic socialists have to admit the anti-establishment road to electoral power involves beating most of the labor unions? I guess maybe not...

@TheOhioRob @ryangrim Can you not read “4 billion more from state government”

@ryangrim There no explanation whatsoever in how he closed a multibillion dollar budget hole in what you just posted. Sounds like state funding will be closing the hole, he hopes.

Pretty impressive run for Mamdani here

@himbo_urbanist @rdesh26 Reccs?

@rdesh26 Baltimore is so good man

What's a weird, small, but secretly very cool city that I can get to on Amtrak

@samhaselby a sample of Reed/Warren: The class program around which institutional black studies cohered has completely merged into... the elite ethnic- pluralist interest- group affair that... has become clearly and militantly an ideological program in defense of neoliberal inequality.

@BigMeanInternet @tico_tonito Chapter 19? arxiujosepserradell.cat/wp-content/upl… Don’t find it nearly as compelling Fields’ as Race as Ideology or something like that

@tico_tonito Don't think it's online

I have a hard time believing anyone could really read Cedric Robinson's account of the European development of the idea of race in antiquity and the colonization of Ireland and be as dense about it as these critics are being. Plz just read that one essay in the Pluto collection!

@RashmanTheHorse What is there to criticize about Adolph Reed? Other than his writing style maybe..

Lots to criticize about Adolph Reed but this an incredible essay about the emergence and hegemony of right wing Black politics post Civil Rights nonsite.org/jesse-jacksons…

@Quirknky @People4AGrnMvmt Just cause the claw machine is rigged doesnt mean u never get a teddy bear once in a blue moon. And it’s not like that teddy bear will do much for you anyway…

@People4AGrnMvmt Why do you think DSA has won more elections via Dem primary contestation than you have by third party candidacy if the primary is rigged?

Explain Zohran please

After a decade of hood lingo occupying the popular lexicon, white slang is back

@lllliatttt @McMayhem297 The Fetterman of today is not the Fetterman of 2016 and 2020. Thats when he worked with him.

@McMayhem297 “outside of fetterman”

well that sucks!
