I’m kind of boggled by this discourse because I don’t view Lula’s project as having been a failure. His party got 2 decades in power, raised working class living standards and did much to curtail capital. The work of socialism is a marathon that will last the rest of our lives.
The Lula situation is pretty much what will happen if there’s a president AOC. Some tepid reforms that don’t deliver enough to the working class and we’ll swing back to an even worse Trump type in 2032. I wish reformism could work but being hemmed by the bourgeois state will always result in a swing back to fascism.

Tom Morello is black and has identified as black his whole life. He’s in the Rock & Roll HOF. This is his father. You shouldn’t be surprised about Tom’s 2024 vote, because he explained it directly. Harris had a problem persuading VOTERS OF COLOR, not college whites.
you are not allowed to have opinions as an onlyfans worker now, your body solely exists to generate profit for the company.
this is an attempt at speech chilling for sex workers, who are more left leaning than almost any other profession
Starting November 1, OnlyFans can freeze your earnings if they think something you did could hurt OnlyFans' reputation.
That's one of two new suspension triggers in the updated terms. This is part 2 of my TOS breakdown, and it's all about your account and your money.
The new suspension triggers...
Section 14.b lists when OF can suspend your account and hold your earnings without notice while they review.
Two new reasons were added.
The first is any action OF thinks "has caused or is reasonably likely to cause" a loss to OnlyFans or its users, or harm to the reputation of OnlyFans or any user.
The second is not promptly giving OF information they ask for.
That second one is going to be hard for a lot of us. Basically if OF emails you asking for documents, answer fast. Idk about you but I'm allergic to checking my emails so this is about to get annoying.
Also disputes now need to be in writing...
If OF suspends you, deletes content or forfeits earnings, you still have six months to dispute it. The new terms add that the dispute has to be "in writing" (14.d). Keep copies of everything you send.
One notice promise is gone. The 2024 terms said that when OF suspends or deletes content or accounts, "we will try to notify you." That line was removed. OF still promises a statement of reasons after a review decision (14.c).
Now the money...
Payouts that need a currency conversion now "include currency conversion fees to cover processing costs and exchange rates" (10.e). The 2024 version only warned that your own bank might charge you. If you're paid outside USD, compare your next few payouts after November 1.
OF can now add "any Tax, fee or other amount" to a fan's payment without further notice to comply with the law or payment network rules (9.f). That means fans could see a higher total at checkout than our listed price.
OF can now send your earnings to a third party entitled to them by law or court order (14.e). It can also check that your bank details match your ID verification (10.a).
One change that helps us...
If a fan's card declines, OF can now retry it multiple times before the renewal fails (9.i). That should mean fewer subscriptions lost to one declined payment.
Obviously this is my read of the new terms, and (again!) I'm not a lawyer. Read them yourself and tell me if you see it differently. Part three will be tomorrow and it's the last one about what to do before you click accept, plus the change that works in your favor.

What I find consequential about the Haitian Revolution is that it was the enslaved Africans who took seriously the slogans of the bourgeois revolutions and were the first to attempt to push them beyond the limits of bourgeois society.

Obama is kind of like Marcus Aurelius. Capably managing the empire during the waning days of the Pax Americana before handing it off to a lunatic dipshit who ruined everything.

“There’s literally no American city where you can work full time minimum wage and afford an apartment” is one of those statistics that feels like a Nuclear bomb we’re all sitting on but people in power (CAPITALIST) just refuse to acknowledge.

Yes. If Bonnie Blue said no to number 501 and he continued to assault/penetrate her, then yes that would be rape.
Replying to @prolifefrenchie
"Bonnie Blue wanted to be screwed by 500 men, at 501 it became rape." - Women

FUN FACT: Turns out the term "sexual harassment" was literally coined in 1975 by a group of WOMEN at CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

This new Mamdani funding is being wildly misreported. The money is not only going to combat antisemitism but also going to lots of religious organizations broadly to combat discrimination. For instance, from a rundown of the funding:
* Arab American Association of NY: Arab American anti-hate workshops, self-defense training and civic programs for Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern New Yorkers
* Hispanic Federation: anti-hate education and safety workshops in Latino and immigrant neighborhoods
* 67th Precinct Clergy Council: faith leaders running youth programs and public safety conversations across Brooklyn and beyond
* NYC Anti-Violence Project: anti-hate education and safety support for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers
* Asian American Federation: Asian American anti-hate outreach and reporting help in 15+ languages

This is perhaps the worst theological argument imaginable for this position.
Christ Himself accepted the death penalty

While Jesus submitted to his crucifixion, the Gospels depict the process as unjust and interpret his acceptance as sacrificial, not as an endorsement of Capitol Punishment.

The Catholic Church is the most conservative institution out there but it’s left-coded because it believes on limits to human power while modern “conservatism” is all about worshipping Baal and Moloch.

Tom Morello doesn’t live in a swing state. If you need leftists to win elections you need to meet them where they are. Y’all been whining about votes you’re not entitled to for 25 years and the fascists won.
