from my understanding she's a tenant union organizer, dont think you can put her anywhere close to tucker carlson and mtg. my impression is that she's a left wing woo woo person which is where some of the antisemetic ideas/soundbites come from

from my understanding she actually came in first during the first round of voting lmao, who knows if she will win the runoff but i actually think this might work, "castrate all pedophiles" is not really an uncommon position in texas

rip.

also not very surprising to see the others, ao3 is filled with turboshitlibs

It is very very good to have this out in the open. It will embolden efforts.

that's where I'm at and why im saying it's a very good sign for the future

explanation: this document is an online reply to a specific complaint regarding conversion therapy against trans and queer people. it is not an official court ruling, has no legislative power, cannot be cited in legal cases, and is meant to dismiss the original complaint. while it is indeed the first time the court explicitly mentions the illegality of discrimination based on gender & sexuality, there is still much more to be done for it to bear any legal weight

important context. still great sign of progress but important not to over-exaggerate victories

aww not nearly as cool as i thought, but still very good sign for future

over/under someone has already written a fic of this on ao3

i was gonna say you can absolutely memorize lines in another language and just get accent coach to help with speaking them

why the hell is it in english

faith isnt the right word. while there are definitely some true believers in the rapture death cult, vast majority of these people are ultimately craven cowards and i dont think they would risk themselves like that

PSL is super tiny compared to the DSA, yes. Now, it's not easy to tell the exact size difference since think since PSL doesnt really accept you if you're not willing to devote a huge portion of your life to it while all it takes to be in dsa is either pay like 10 bucks a month or write a fee waiver application*, so you cant even really go based off of DSA having 100k paper members, but based off of my experience DSA still has way more organizers than PSL.

and it's not "DSA having a higher chance of success of instilling class consciousness", it's that DSA runs candidates pretty much exclusively through the democratic party ticket and thus can actually win elections and thus can actually win credibility among workers by excercisng power, and that spending time on local third party politicians is both 1) a waste of time and 2) actively harming his own credibility, because the average person will think you're kind of a crank for even talking to a 3rd party person let alone acting like they can win

*this fee waiver is something you can 1000% bs your way through, my local dsa chapter when i was organizing flat out told us to lie and get the waiver even if we could affort because they really didnt like national and didnt want us giving them money directly lmao
