when the Dem leadership is so hostile to the fabian wing of their party that they downright refuse to win elections, it makes the fabians look *so* much better than the actual records of the pols they get into office. no wonder DSA & their 501c allies are constantly misrepresenting those records!

i'm betting caleb smith (today's featured wannabe kapo) of the Center for American Progress (today's featured quislings) is a classic trans guy gatekeeper who detransitioned annually to go to Terves In The Woods (a/k/a MWMF). (see bryn kelly's crystal-sharp partybottom.tumblr.com/post/9514022...)

per CAP, anti-trans policies "highlight[] the need for legal and lived equality for LGBTQI+ people as well as advanc[e] policy solutions that further comprehensive nondiscrimination protections in tandem with policies that support the economic security, health, and safety of LGBTQI+ people."

there is abundant cause for lamentation today. but tisha b'av should be a day of celebration. it marks the end of a (largely mythical) murderous hereditary theocracy. mourning the fall of the bnei amram or kohanim is like mourning the romanovs, somozas, or bourbons. meansof.org/wp-content/u...

the pro-fascist commentators are half right. it is true that far right political parties only develop fabian socialist wings when they are in extreme distress. but the solution, historically, is to make sure they stay within the party, where they pose no material threat.

LRB: and that is specifically for those who wrap their compliance in "ally" rhetoric, like ZM, who talks a lot about "what the law allows" when it suits him – and chooses not to do a damn thing to enforce existing NYC and NYS law that prohibits NYU and Mt Sinai's cuts to trans health care.
