laudable efforts but the problem is they already know, and are just lying, it's not that they're suffering delusions about any of this like their base is, they just think it's interfering with their old fashioned oil baron plans. we know, they know, they know we know, they simply want what they want

My relationship with my mom (a conservative) I think is illustrative here. Last time we interacted she told me she won't use my name and pronouns (because she's a Christian, is her reasoning) So now I'm the one left holding the bag, and if I assert the boundary, I'm seen as the one cutting her off

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

What the capitalist desires is the power over labor-time commanded by capital, not the commodities themselves. When the internal contradictions of capital become an obstacle to the capitalist's power to command labor, the capitalist will burn the oranges.

This is kind of an international sentiment right now so: if your candidate is revoking or selling out trans people's fundamental human rights then I won't vote for them. If it is materially necessary for me to vote for them, then they can change their position. Otherwise, they can burn with me

Exactly, it can be affordable. The real problem is that a US worker trying to take two weeks off either doesn't have that much vacation time or, if they do, still could face retaliation for trying to use it all at once. Our work culture is fucked and, historically, it's people like Cuomo's fault
