Comrades it's a very good time to join an org and do good work where you are and how you can. Even if we can't, as individuals, forcibly produce the conditions for revolution by sheer will, we can be the communists everyone in the neighborhood knows and appreciates. We can show people that we are not the bogeyman, but rather trusted friends, neighbors, helpers in ones time of need. We can embody our ideals in the present, even if only in small ways.

It's foolish and telling to despair at this. Any principled leftist should welcome the further decay of the US political system as a step towards it's inevitable fall. Quality of life in the imperial core is not the measure of our success.

I've got a new book for self-learning Gaelic. I want to get fluent enough to start a Gaelic thread in internationale.

Greens are anti-trans. PSL is the only viable meme ticket.

This is not a decision you should be making in the middle of a panic attack. Emigrating demands extensive planning and carefully selecting a destination, particularly as a transgender person. I often have to tell young trans people this, and it's relevant here: There are no good places for trans people, only bad places and worse places.

It should be kept in mind that nobody has to do a lot of deep checking to find out you're trans and decide they don't like you because of that. A lot of times they can just look at your face and see it, and if not, your ID may not match what they see. And then you have to try to find a job there, because even if you're moving somewhere that your dollars have relatively strong buying power, you aren't going to live on that for more than a year at best. Hard enough to get a job as a trans person as a born citizen who speaks the language, I wouldn't like my chances trying to get one as a foreigner speaking a second language.

Reality check: nothing you put there has any effect, and you shouldn't lie to yourself about that. Any choice you make beyond refusing to vote for either of the candidates giving full-throated support for genocide is entirely for your own self-gratification and nothing more. It won't change anyone's mind, it won't build a party, it won't make one iota of material difference in the world.
