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
I don't give a shit what you think about voting, so long as it isn't your primary way of political engagement. It's nowhere near as effective as other forms of political organizing.

Also, please note that hydro and nuclear, two large scale sources of low-carbon energy, still vastly out-generate wind and solar

Glorious nuclear future! We can take all the disarmed warheads and reprocess them back with spent fuel and natural uranium to reactor-usable levels of enrichment and have power for centuries
Stay away from Fredericksburg on Sunday. I hate the far right as much as you all do, but it's not worth the risk. We have to pick our battles carefully, this fight isn't one worth having right now.

Happy Birthday to the Wobblies! Founded on this day in the 1905, the IWW have always represented an independent, radical vision of what organized labor should look like.
