Haven't seen any recaps but i did see 43% of delegates voted against a measure that would make DSA an actual anti-zionist org: https://x.com/GoodVibePolitik/status/1954581357302042942

It thankfully passed, but you really shouldn't be spending time as an org debating zionists. They should just kick em out

Cuba made a lung cancer vaccine back in 2011 and it's still in clinical trials in the US. Even if we ever got cancer vaccines they were always going to slow roll them. Chemotherapy is just way too profitable

 

According to federal employment records, up until Wednesday, VA had more than 377,000 employees represented by unions out of a total workforce of 483,000. The only exceptions to the contract terminations were for police, firefighters and security personnel who were exempted from the executive order.

This kinda seems like a good thing no? From what I've heard this shit is hella dangerous and they were selling it in front of 7-11 counters

So uh hey Teamsters, the president of one of your biggest new locals just got kidnapped and beaten the shit out of by Israel for trying to bring food to Gaza. Any word on backing him up?

We shall not be moved

We shall overcome

Hold the Fort

Pretty much anything Pete Seeger, he made a ton of old religious hymnals into union songs that are fun for call and response acoustic guitar sessions. Also anytime they say union men or whatnot, just change it to union folk

Edit: Also this might be out of left-field but another type of song thats really fun to sing in groups is sea shanties. Here's my favorite: Roll the old chariot. I don't know any shanties with explicitly labor lyrics but you can kinda change the lyrics (e.g. "Oh a fair contract wouldn't do us any harm")

I guess this is why you need candidates backed by a real independent party. Otherwise upset wins result in every democratic operative coming to you with hat in hand, telling you all the right words and how they'll help. Even if Zohran is ideologically inclined towards socialism, in practice he will inevitably have to bring along opportunists in order to scale up his campaign.

Hey y'all, i've been looking at buying a smartwatch for my mom that tracks her vitals and health since she's starting to get older. I was looking at the xiaomi smart band 9 and huawei band 9. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Does anyone remember an old meme video that used this Chatham House video of Hillary Clinton talking about China? https://x.com/ChathamHouse/status/1390284424806289410

It used the line 'You will never compete and win against them, unless you take back the means of production.' as a hook and there was music backing it. I think the person who made had their twitter account banned.
