I just went thrifting for the first time in like 2 years. I was unemployed and on a spending freeze for non-essentials, and meanwhile the HRT was doing its thing, so I haven't been able to get new clothes to complement the changes (let alone changes in style). It's honestly incredible to be able to do that again now that I have a new job and an income, I really got some ~~nice stretchy tops that make my titties pop~~ affirmation and confidence out of it.

Also I don’t think Zohran’s opinions on Israel would’ve swayed this election one way or the other. I still probably would’ve voted for him if he said the generic pro-Israel democrat talking points because of the material things he was offering, and I imagine a lot people who are pro-Israel but aren’t completely rabid would’ve done the same the other direction.
It's absolutely wild to me how much foreign policy seemed to be focused on in a mayoral race. Sure, it's a particularly important mayoral race, but it's not like the mayor decides whether to send arms to Israel or not. The only point they could raise in the debate was whether the candidate would visit Israel - a completely symbolic gesture. Should I be interrogating my local dogcatcher about their thoughts on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
how should communist parties in anti-imperialist states like russia, iran, belarus, etc conduct themselves?
I believe Franz Fanon made the argument that in some developing countries, the domestic class divide is less significant than the international class divide, and that there can be a logic to persuing a class truce. If a country becomes colonized, the domestic bourgeoisie stands to lose their positions (at least potentially) so there's a greater degree of shared interests. This is in contrast to a more old school perspective, which would argue that a class truce isn't really possible, that the bourgeoisie will never let up, and that attempting to persue that course is reactionary and opens the door to opportunism.
I don't have a strong opinion on it because I'm in the imperial core, I think either approach can be valid depending on the circumstances.
So all signs are pointing too Drumpf getting us into a war with Iran and CNN is already manufacturing consent for it. That out of the way:
but rewatching the presidential debates of 2000, it's really hard to find a place where Bush and Gore actually differ on foreign policy.
I distinctly remember seeing a clip from those debates where Gore took a more interventionist position, but idk if I could find it. It's a real thing though, it's a big part of why Bush was all like, "This is not about nation-building" and stuff like that at the start.
I'm going to an event soon and the last time I was there there were some of those awful street preachers with megaphones shouting bigotry. They're a nuisance and nobody wants them there, but it's a public festival and evidentially they're allowed to be there.
I tried looking online (
)and most of the advice was stupid lib shit, ranging from, "Call the cops and tell them they're violating statute blah blah blah" or, "Just ignore them, you can't change their minds and engaging just feeds their persecution complex." Obviously the cops do nothing, I don't care about changing their minds or what they think I just want to shut them up. But I also don't want to get arrested and if possible, it'd be nice to avoid disturbing the other people further.
Most likely, I'm just gonna have to endure it, but I thought I'd raise the question for brainstorming bc it feels like a common enough situation that other people will encounter it too. Best I can think is screaming something back at them 
UPDATE: I ended up just wearing a bunch of pride stuff and then they weren't even there lol
