Is NYT pretending like the crackdown on campus protests didn’t start with the Biden admin? Biden condemned the protests, characterized students as violent and antisemitic, thousands of students were arrested, and the protests were violently suppressed. They paved the way.

It’s really depressing how bad I am at learning my husband’s languages. There are 35 consonants in Hindi and I can barely hear the differences between a lot of them and definitely can’t consistently replicate.

There’s an awful lot of misogyny being expressed by men in politics that middle aged “wine moms” running the I’ve Had It podcast might be good interviewers with smart questions for powerful people.

This would help so many people

What exactly do people mean by “wine moms” at this point? Just a floating signifier for people’s contempt for middle-aged women?

Look I don’t want to be a bitch but can we stop referring to intelligent adults in media as “liberal wine moms” like that makes them a joke. It’s such backhanded praise.

DSA leaders should take inspiration from Debs, who said of top-down socialism, “I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out.”

I think as democratic socialists it behooves us to trust our members + trust the working class to be able to learn how to handle the rights and responsibilities of internal democracy. Same principles undergird RnF strategy and reform caucuses in unions.

Robert’s Rules are confusing and take time to learn, so for more than a year @xyjacey did trainings for members about how to motion and vote at the beginning of our meetings. Our GMs are so well attended now we’re outgrowing our meeting spaces.

I’m no longer a NYC-DSA member so I’m not going to criticize a meeting I haven’t attended, but I will say I’m proud to have helped build a general meeting culture in CT DSA where members can submit resolutions and amendments, debate, and make procedural motions with real stakes

Parental leave a great excuse to watch full concert recordings for obscure 70s folk rock bands on YT

Only UNRWA can deliver lifesaving aid at the scale #Gaza needs. We have the network, the experience, and the trust of the community. The State of Israel must let UNRWA bring in the huge amount of aid that has been blocked in our warehouses in Jordan and Egypt since 2nd March.

Given that aid is flowing into Gaza now, where does it make most sense to target donations? I have been giving to UNRWA and Sameer Foundation - are there other bodies currently getting aid into the strip that are able to act more nimbly

Catholic church in Maywood IL walked out this morning after mass and marched to the detention center where the priest demanded to go inside and bless the people being held by ice. He was denied entry

Trump doesn't get off easy either, as Baskin says he could have forced Netanyahu to take a deal at any point in the last nine months. https://t.co/icncO7tRpo

Damning indictment of the last administration from one of Israel's back-channel negotiators, who says this same agreement was on the table a year ago, but Biden and his advisors wouldn't take it.

I’ve spent a lot of the last twelve months with my feet in stirrups and have become a keen observer of helps-you-dissociate ceiling art. My OB-GYN has a poster of kittens. My pelvic floor PT, on the other hand, has a glitter poster of Taylor Swift
