Excellent explainer by Under The Desk News about leftie jargon, factions, and insults! My thoughts: you can be born privileged and support the working class without pretending you are part of it. And I will always say, fuck tankies.

"Democrats want their leaders to fight, not move left or right" "Even moderate Democrats prefer left-wing figures to party leadership" "These DSA candidates are polling well... among center-left voters and moderates, too."
Iran-allied Iraqi militias attacked the enormous Abqaiq oil processing plant in Saudi Arabia, which produces 5-7% of global oil supply. It is now on fire. Meanwhile, President Trump had a busy day ranting about communists and trans women. Priorities! www.news18.com/world/massiv...

Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields sold out instantly. All women performers and "net proceeds from the festival will benefit non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls." The lineup is amazing.
