David Brooks Moment of Self-Awareness
  • I know this tidbit is making its rounds, but the rest of the article makes it clear that the party will learn nothing as it's smarmy "Hey, I guess people just don't like the educated managerial class for some reason I don't understand, alas we'll have to try to win them back!"

    US Election Day November 2024 Containment Megathread
  • that's pretty much what happened. I read they had an acceptance speech and a "looks like the race is still too close to call, see you in the morning" speech.

    completely bungled, her team is wildly bad (and so was she)

  • It bums me out that the "Listen, Kiddo, I Get It" person is still online and has a Palestinian flag in their bio

    I don't follow them and don't know if there has been any self-reflection since 2020. But if there hasn't I would have thought they'd been so embarrassed by now they'd have logged off

    Anyone have any good book recommendations on the unhoused, organizing unhoused folks, theory around unhoused praxis?

    Want to learn more about what has worked elsewhere in helping to organize for this community. There are so many non-profits/NGO's devoted to assisting our unhoused neighbors but so many of them seem largely uneffective/toothless (for many reasons).

    Looking to see if there are any good reads out there about lifting up this community. thanks!

    My partner is a baby leftist and wants to read some light theory about Socialism/Communism. Any recommendations?

    My partner has all the right political instincts and really wants to bolster their knowledge of the systems of socialism/communism and the ideologies therein.

    I was initially thinking of recommending Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti as that was an entry point for me to shed any remaining lib tendencies I had.

    Would love to hear what y'all would recommend!

    Thread for Palestinian Aid

    Wanted to get a thread together to highlight aid groups that can be donated to to help Palestinian aid

    • https://www.palestinercs.org/en
    • https://www.pcrf.net/
    • https://upaconnect.org/
    • https://www.mecaforpeace.org/
    • https://www.palestiniansocialfund.com/support
    • Hasan fundraiser (https://x.com/hasanthehun/status/1713286510127219114?s=20) (https://donate.tiltify.com/@hasanabi/palestinian-medical-assistance)

    That's the only one I know of but leaning on y'all for help to spread the word. Lots of medical aid needed so let's direct our energy toward those helping in Gaza

    Keep em coming and I'll try to continue to add them here
