Nearly 97 percent of transgender people who received hormone therapy as teenagers did not regret it five years later, a study found.
Though some patients did regret medically transitioning, those rates are relatively low compared to other medical interventions. wapo.st/4C44lZp

I’ve seen conflicting reports about whether he was expelled or not but let’s be clear, the fact that some dude™️ has faced harsher discipline than any of the DSA-electeds who have been actively associating with a genocidal country tells you exactly the direction this org is going

Yes, from both MUG and NYC-DSA, shortly before he was due to attend the convention as an elected delegate (he’s now banned from all DSA events). What are the optics of that? Does it not look like hysterical, overreaching, anti-democratic suppression of criticism?

Makes you wonder how many DSA electeds have gotten the boss call and kept their mouths shut
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

Hasan Piker is to Jewish People what Anita Bryant was to Gay People. And that’s how history will remember him.
One of Anita’s most famous lines, from June 1977, was “I don’t hate homosexuals. I love them! I hate homosexuality!”
Sound familiar? Hasan says something similar about Jews: “I don’t hate Jews. I love Jews! I hate Zionist” fully knowing most Jews are Zionist.

cuando Lunacharski mando a fusilar a Dios en un país en plena guerra civil y compuesto en un 90% por campesinos analfabetos y profundamente religiosos, uno de los momentos más gigachad de la historia del bolchevismo. Si querés creé en Dios, pero sabé q el PROLETARIADO lo mató.

Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage.
A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.

This is a fair point; the left SHOULD look to emulate the policies of the USSR, instead.
How can France spend less? One simple idea to start: convert all rental housing into public housing. Once the state no longer subsidizes the payment of rent to landlords, they'll save money.
No, and it's one of the only good things about American 'democracy'. Long live the permanent campaign!

A quote from Eugene Debs I feel is important to the discourse around AOC
Mary, Queen of Trots retweeted
One might think AOC is just explaining how the Speaker gets elected.
But read between the lines ... she's also explaining how a progressive insurgent gets co-opted and absorbed into the Democratic establishment.
Listen carefully.
AOC: “Right now both of these races are uncontested — don’t be mad at me, I’m just reporting the facts.”
Rep. @AOC clearly explains the speaker vote process, says nobody is challenging @RepJeffries and anyone who does would likely be banished to obscure committees.
(If Jeffries is that vindictive it seems like even more of a reason someone should challenge him 😕)
