“This is not normal” says the party that armed Israel’s genocide.
“This is not normal” says the party who unanimously confirmed Marco Rubio.

Some baristas are being told NOT to reference Black History Month when writing on cups & bags, although they face potential discipline for not writing anything at all - even when understaffed or during a rush.
Why is this an issue, and why is Starbucks management emboldened to make these decisions?

QCDSA’s Mutual Aid Working Group was in Davenport today giving out winter clothing and hygiene supplies to our unhoused comrades. As socialists, we believe that everyone should have their essential needs met, but capitalism creates the conditions for homelessness to exist. 🧵

Since Trump's election, many Democratic pundits & elites have indicated it's time to stand down.
They think the “Resistance” of protest movements from 2016-2020 went too far, & people should now fight less hard.
I call these people "The Desistance”— they’re wrong!
