LEAKED ENDING TO GRRM's ASoIaF:
Tyrion stood and looked around, catching each in the eye. "There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story." He explained. "Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. And who has a better story than Darkstar for he is of the night?"

NEW from LCRW: A Tualatin, OR middle school is the latest to get targeted by a bomb threat after an anti-trans outrage campaign got drummed up against it. And everyone's least-favorite grifter appears to be one of the main boosters of the campaign. leftcoastrightwatch.org/arti…

⛑FLOOD SAFETY:
⚠️Do NOT walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. Even if it doesn't look bad.

The organizers of Trump's scab event, the National Right to Work Foundation, are also working with Starbucks to try to decertify our unions. Starbucks -- which has spent most of its 50-year history pretending to be progressive -- is, once again, in lockstep with Trump.

listen honestly it's great if you're getting deeper into left politics through social media and we're all happy to see you here but if you aren't persistently involved in some sort of real world organisational work that's a problem and it has to change

This is exactly backwards — the American dream was never predicated on credentialization until recently. The better goal here is not to make higher education “affordable” but to decouple it from middle class aspirations entirely.
