The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) was established on this day in 1919. CPUSA provided legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys, helped poor Southern farmers form sharecropper unions, and promoted communist ideas within the U.S.

The party was established after a split in the Socialist Party of America following the Russian Revolution, and initially operated underground due to the Palmer Raids, a series of anti-immigrant, anti-labor, and anti-communist raids conducted by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer.

CPUSA was an early opponent of segregation and racial discrimination, giving legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys and helping poor black farmers in the South organize sharecropper unions. Because of this, the party had a strong presence in Alabama in the 1930s. This history is detailed in "Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression" by historian Robin D.G. Kelley.

Trying to come up with the most contrarian take about the USSR, the best I got so far is "I agree with Bukharin, Stalin was a neo-Trotskyite"

Liberals that go something like "you can't use american racism theory for Europe, it's a whole other context!!" are going to be my favourite genre of takes from now on.

Watching some isekai slop called something like "making 80000 gold in another world for my retirement" and it's aight so far. Her dumb isekai ability is she can teleport, and swap between worlds as well.

She's like "yeah im gonna sell stuff from earth here to make gold so i don't gotta work in either world" and it's one of those settings where people react to the shit she brings over like they should. Like a swiss army knife just representing an impossible level of craftsmanship for the technology level of the place she's in. Or like she wears a cultured pearl necklace to meet a count and his family and the countess freaks out about it, the size and uniformity of the pearls, how it's not just something that would be considered expensive but just having so many perfect matching pearls would make it a priceless work of art.

I'm just at the part where she sets up her store and gets her first customers and basically everything is like magic to them. She feeds them fish and everybody is like 🤮🤮🤮 until they eat it, and they explain it's because they're like 10 days from the coast, and it'd only barely be possible to bring fish with like, 3 days off straight riding swapping out pre prepared stagecoaches and horses and riding them to exhaustion. And even then, only in the winter with the use of ice and snow to keep it fresh. So where the fuck is she getting this fresh fish?

They think she's a witch, lol

I love me my isekai slop

HOW??? how could carnival row possibly make the antiracist definitely-not-bolsheviks supporting the fairy jewish-allegory that not-london put into a literal ghetto in the last season---the bad guys?

like they're doing the typical "bad revolutionaries murder" thing but provide overwhelming evidence in the text of the show that the violence is absolutely necessary and justified. you're really going to expect viewers to somehow sympathize with the people the show has doing apartheid, lynchings, & murdering people for miscegenation?

Im worried the other cooks are gonna think i'm a mega wuss and resent me for leaving them my work to do because i'm not working today because my thumb kept bleeding a little through the stitches all day yesterday and I feel like i should not be moving it so much if it's doing that. And my friend was like, yeah, they will, and described a slew of fucked up kitchen injuries she's seen people just work through.

Idk seems kinda stupid and toxic to me, I was told don't do gym stuff like pushups for 4 days, I think 10 hours of cooking shit is probably more strenuous on my thumb than that. And Id probably still work with it but it's this big flap wound covering the entire knuckle so every movement is separating the skin

I hope people don't stop helping me with stuff because i still need a lot of help getting everything done. I literally don't know what i could be doing differently sometimes other than being in two places at once. I can't cook beef for philly cheesesteaks on the flattop grill while chopping more tofu because we ran out (i made the quantity I was told to make!) while dropping fries in the fryer because by the time I throw all the beef on the grill I need to be breaking up the first bits or it'll start to burn and if i turn it down and cook it any slower we'll run out of beef

I've almost definitely posted about this one before. I don't know when or how it started, but every so often I'll start singing roxette's 'dangerous' to myself only I swap 'dangerous' for 'ableist'.
