This is completely unrelated to leftism or politics in general, but I used jewelweed yesterday and I'm really proud of my increased herbal knowledge!

If @Booker4KY pulls this off it’s no exaggeration one of the most stunning political upsets in modern Democratic Party history. No DSCC pick has lost in over a decade, and I’m hard pressed to think of any primary race where someone overcame a $40m fundraising…

So: after it had been revealed a while ago that the whole anti-semitism thing in the Labour Party was completely invented and pushed by the right-wing of the party to eliminate the left wing (together with their attempts to make Corbyn lose the 2017 elections, among other things), a centrist neo-liberal Blairite, Keir Starmer, becomes the new leader of the party. One of his opponents had been Rebecca Long-Bailey, a fan of Corbyn. Now she's been fired following the accusations of anti-semitism because... she retweeted an article, published by the Independent (not Breitbard, the Independent.), that included the claim that the US police learned the tactics that killed George Floyd from Israel.
Yeah, totally not a coup

In the UK, the right wing of the Labour Party is a much more dangerous force than the UKIP and other far-right parties in the attempt to actually achieve meaningful change
