The Dead Sea is dying. A $1.5 billion plan aims to resurrect it.
At the southern tip of the Dead Sea, Sameer Mahadin recalls when the shoreline was visible from the shaded veranda of his farmhouse. The once 10-minute walk to the water’s edge now takes an hour trekking over cracked, salt-encrusted soil.The Dead Sea is dying rapidly. The biblical body of water lying between Israel and Jordan is retreating by more than three feet a year, creating sinkholes that swallow up buildings and roads, and forcing the rich seaside landscape on which the tourism industry relies to fade into memory…

Democrats nominate Pelosi as House speaker, reelect top aides
In a clear demonstration that the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives will produce no significant shift in US capitalist politics, the House Democratic Caucus has reelected its three top leaders, 78-year-old Nancy Pelosi, 79-year-old Steny Hoyer and 78-year-old James Clyburn.All three are indelibly associated with the right-wing record of the Democratic Party during its last period in control of the House of Representatives, from January 2007 to January 2011, when Pelosi was House speaker, Hoyer was majority leader and Clyburn was majority whip.

New York Times: Our crime was telling the truth
A new argument has been introduced into the editorial pages of the New York Times and Washington Post: that the American media, by reporting true information about presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, was promoting “Russian propaganda.”Over the past two years, major US technology companies, under the pretext of fighting “Russian meddling” in American politics, have created a regime of internet censorship, in which left-wing, anti-war, and socialist viewpoints are routinely deleted or secretly restricted.

Global Uncertainty Is Rising, and That is a Bad Omen for Growth
The global economy is growing, but so is uncertainty. This column presents a new quarterly index of uncertainty for 143 countries. The World Uncertainty Index reveals how uncertainty in the world has evolved over time, whether it is synchronised across countries, and how it compares across income groups and political regimes.The October 2018 edition of the World Economic Outlook predicts that global economic growth will remain steady between 2018 and 2020 at the 2017 growth rate of 3.7% (IMF 2018). This exceeds the growth rate in any year between 2012 and 2016.

Sorry Democrats, the Green Party Came Up With the Green New Deal!
This week progressives nationwide are talking about a Green New Deal and, while mainstream media is saying that insurgent Democrats came up with this, we beg to differ! We applaud the efforts of Democrats for finally adopting what the Global Greens began to work on in in 2006 while noting that the delay of 12 years is very significant when it comes to climate change.The Green Party has been advocating for a massive jobs and public works program to transition our energy infrastructure rapidly over to renewable energy for more than a decade [1]. The project truly began with a Global Greens ‘Green New Deal Task Force’, first formulated in 2006. It was brought into American Green political campaigns by Howie Hawkins when he ran for governor in 2014 [2].

How do trannies reconcile the belief that they live in an irredeemably transphobic society yet you'll get permabanned from twatter for deadnaming one of them?

I actually saw 80% some days ago, I don't know if it's a new poll or a different organization doing it or what

they don't. millenials have been so placated and pussified by soccer mom politics they literally think people shouldn't be allowed to call each other mean names sometimes.

lol is racism over too since you can get banned for saying nigger?

read Zizek

It's literally systemic, though, because gender identity is also a legal identity and because gender segregation is legally enforced. The reproduction of labor is something the bourgeoisie take very seriously.

the solution to this is not to support trans people and ban anyone who is deemed "transphobic".
gender as a social construction must be nullified, in fact the only solution is to refer to people only by their sex (male or female).
could you imagine if India tried to solve their Caste problem by supporting people who "identified as Untouchable"? it's madness.

fuck off tranny

Okay, but that aligns with what I said. Just because Twitter bans people doesn't mean transphobia isn't a systemic problem.

And the fact that it's "madness" is why supporting trans people is progressive. It makes a mockery of the very concept of gender, which promotes gender abolitionist beliefs. They're an intermediary step. We should be supporting every retarded new gender they invent until gender segregation and legal identification becomes too ridiculous to continue.

it literally doesn't. any time I guy tries to pose as a feminine character it is abundantly obvious. same goes for a girl who attempts to go vice versa.
only literal brainlets are fooled by any transvestite person.
or we could focus on establishing a meritocratic society so none of that shit will matter regardless? you're like a fool tracing a line over $$\frac{x^2}{x}$$, desperately praying it will one day touch the x axis.

You're being myopoic. That's exactly why it DOES make a mockery of gender. It's obvious, and yet you aren't allowed to say anything. You are instead expected to scrub that thought from your mind and lie to your own eyes, and instead not assume their gender. This act makes the absurdity of gender more apparent.

abolition has always been part of that process

situationism doesn't work

Press F to pay respects.
