  • This paragraph I don’t understand:

    Only the movements in solidarity with Palestinian freedom offered a substantive challenge to the Harris coronation, as it remains the only issue impervious to party influence. To be sure, the absence of a primary for the Democratic Party lessened the ability of progressive forces to push back against Harris galloping rightward.

    What does it mean to say the opposition to genocide was “impervious to party influence”?

    I do agree the one clear problem was lack of a primary-- that’s the major structural difference from 2020. Without a primary you can’t prove who has the votes and who is voting, it was easy for them to pretend “progressives won’t vote” even though from this article it is clear progressives delivered via in Biden’s election.


  • Here’s what Walmart decided:

    1. Grants to Pride events will be reviewed, for example to make sure family pavilions are not next to drag shows.

    2. 3rd-party marketplace listings will be monitored to ensure sexually explicit and transgender items are not “aimed at minors”

    3. Demographic information related to race, gender, and sexuality will no longer be gathered or used in decisions about suppliers.

    4. When its 5-year commitment to a racial equity center established after the killing of George Floyd runs out next year, it will not be renewed.
