Anxiety amongst upper-caste diaspora that their narrative about a benign Indian culture would be undone lies at the heart of the opposition to California’s bill to ban caste discrimination....
The fact that there is any pushback to this issue tells you everything you need to know. Seattle just passed a first in the nation anti caste discrimination law and the opposition was absolutely gross from conservative upper caste Indians, to completely tone deaf liberal conservatives.
The message was clear: From the dusty streets of a Brazilian favela, to FaceTiming with presidents and other top dignitaries, the group was there to listen, and chart a new course for relations between the United States and Latin America. They met with labor organizers, a new generation of Indigenous and Black women leaders,...
Who cares? She is no better for American working people than Trump is. It was democratic leadership and their decades long failure to the working class that gave us Trump. They don’t get to be lionized for the long and ugly clean up.
How long until Pelosi loses her mind like Feinstein or has a mini-stroke like McConnell? Can we put her insider trading profits to a general strike fund when it happens? Asking for a friend.
It’s not a culture war issue and God damn I am so tired of NYTimes obfuscation of the truth of the matter.
Climate like so many other issues we currently face is a class war issue. The working class is going to face the fallout of environmental change, while the rich avoid feeling it effects. Mass migration north as the global south becomes unsustainable, food shortages increasing grocery prices, working conditions continuing to become unsafe as AC installation in warehouses and trucks is “cost prohibitive”. None of that will impact the wealthy, it’s exactly WHY they are currently hoarding.
This article is the flipside, it does nothing to address the true issue and only further drives a wedge to divide. If you start talking about issues both rural and urban voters care about, such as the stratification of wealth, how poor folk are burdened with the biggest tax rate and how a billionare class straight up should not exist, you will actually make inroads with people both liberal and conservative that have been spoon fed propaganda for their entire lives.

It’s a piece from last year but Homestead CLT needs to be more widely known.
