Is anyone actually surprised that Natalie Wynn is wrong and a lib? I feel like that was pretty obvious six or seven years ago.

Since at least the founding of Israel (if not before) to be Anti-Zionist is to be anti-genocide. Zionism has manifested itself as a project of ethnic cleansing and the destruction of the Palestinian people. A person cannot be Zionist and anti-genocide. It's really quite simple.

Idealists always say that there's no reasonable path to destroying Israel through mass struggle and then in the same breath say the reasonable goal is actually transforming the genocidal colonial ethnostate into a pluralistic democracy as if that's more attainable.

Inevitably they always feel the same way about the dictatorship of the proletariat too.

That title is bad because the US unions are only unique in their comprador status, not in the repression they've faced. Calling Shawn Fain a radical is cringeworthy too. Otherwise a pretty good article for Jacobin. It's entirely correct too. Most US unions today are basically just massive insurance/pension funds with extremely low risk tolerance.

Open war with Iran would be very bad for the US. It's not a country that can just be invaded the same way the US has dealt with its foes for the last 70 years. A causus belli is moot if there's going to be US fleets at the bottom of the Indian Ocean and a collapse in global oil production. No amount of "they attacked us" is going to justify that conflict to the Wall Street, the international community, or the US public.

For the US, invading Iran is a question of "is there a US government (President) willing to be remembered as the one that oversaw the collapse of the empire?"

Fun labor history tidbit - pre-apprenticeship training programs have their roots in programs created when the building trades in Philadelphia were getting targeted by a radical chapter of the NAACP who were stopping construction demanding black tradesmen be hired on public works projects. The trade unions collaborated with black charity organizations to market these pre-apprenticeship programs specifically to black workers looking to join the trades. Then they still allowed hardly any black workers to actually join the unions.

For real. I don't think electoral wins mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but even if they did it's still an uphill battle from here for Mamdani. Some of these people are acting like it's impossible for a Republican to win the office when only twenty years ago Bloomberg won with a supermajority and Adams is barely even a Democrat (and was a Republican at one point) and he won too.

DSA (and these people on the podcast in particular) are kind of good at winning Democratic primaries. After that everything falls apart though.

UNFI is one of (if not the) largest wholesalers in the US and Canada. While health/natural food stores are primarily supplied by it, UNFI also supplies significant amounts of product to traditional grocery operations. This combined with the tariffs and ongoing labor unrest in the grocery industry could cause significant problems with food distribution across the country this summer.

If you have products you rely on read the shelf tag closely. Usually it will say the supplier on them. If you see "UNFI" it might be a good idea to stock up on those products.

I gotta be honest, all the fucking bureaucrats who just give into whatever the DOGE fascists want should be treated like collaborators in their crimes. If someone is like "this could lead to a nuclear armageddon but I gotta protect my job" they deserve to be lined up on a wall just as much as the person they're folding to.

*The title of this article is incorrect because there was a store that won an NLRB election 20 years ago but then decertified.

Furthermore the NLRB certifies representation and bargaining units (not unions) and workers have organized unions in Whole Foods before that have not asked for exclusive bargaining rights (either because they didn't want to or didn't meet the threshold for authorization cards). Nonetheless it's exciting to see Amazon workers organizing.

"We support the Russian Federation's opposition to US imperialism. We oppose their reactionary government including the state suppression of lgbtq+ people, minority nationalities and ethnic groups, etc. Using these issues as cudgels for US/NATO imperialism hurts all people in Russia, including oppressed minorities, and undermines the progressive nature of those liberation struggles in that country."

I think I stumbled upon a woman who is into me and I'm really into her but I haven't the slightest idea how to express that beyond kinda just saying it like a dumbass. We've hung out a few times and I'm going to reach out to go out with her again but I've got no idea how to express my actual feelings for her

I've never had a girlfriend. Only women I've been with have come onto me hard and I just halfheartedly played along. Last time I was really into a girl was years ago and I fucked it up because I didn't know how to express that. I really don't want to mess this one up though. How do I go about this?

Edit: thanks for the input everyone (silly answers too). Gonna ask her to go somewhere with me this weekend and be a little bit less coy
