A VERY good excerpt from Marx’s 1864 “Inaugural Address,” quoted in “Marx at the Margins,” in which Marx spotlights the *duty* of the global working class to take up an internationalist cause. Once again reminding us that close-minded, campist/isolationist leftism is unserious

Democratic socialism is "our north star — the goal we never lose sight of — both because every step we take in that direction makes things better for working-class people and because...capitalism."

本日、自民党法務部会での入管法改悪法案の議論開始を受け、16時から入管法改悪法案承認阻止・要請行動が呼びかけられ、入管収容者や仮放免者の方々の支援者や日本に暮らす外国人の方々が集まりました。 21年5月に廃案の契機となった問題は何ひとつ改善していません #入管法改悪案の再提出反対

Nag-deliver ng manipestasyon sa sesyon ng Senado si Akbayan Party Senator Risa Hontiveros para ihayag ang kanyang pagkadismaya sa pagbalik sa SOGIE Equality Bill sa Committee on Rules imbis na matalakay na ito sa plenaryo.

Believing she had months to live due to a terminal illness, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, a neonazi from Catonsville decided she wanted to “accomplish something worthwhile” & planned to destroy energy facilities surrounding Baltimore to “permanently, completely lay this city to waste”
Now her & a neo-Nazi leader from FL, Brandon Clint Russell, are in custody.

Over the last 3 months at least 9 substations have been attacked by in NV, NC, OR, SC & WA, cutting power to tens of thousands of people & underscoring the vulnerability of the nation’s electrical grid.

Fantastic speech. Big winner was the influence of progressive econ community. From consumer issues to tax, antitrust, labor & manufacturing. These are issues progressives made possible. They are being highlighted because they work and are good politics headed into 2024. Win-win.

Being a progressive reformer is hard work. You often end up isolated and ostracized. Your candidates often lose. But what matters is that your ideas and policies win the long fight. This is a *very* different, more progressive Democratic Party than it was even 10 years ago.
