katie work updates: on a whim i checked my work's covid policy and apparently as long as i isolate for 5 days it's fine for me to come back to work on day 6 even if i am still testing positive. unbelievable. the handling of covid in this country has been an absolute clown show.

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

look - I'm receptive to both "no, it's gotta be him" arguments and "he's gotta step aside" arguments. not to be wishy-washy but both arguments have merit. "then we do a tourney" is OTOH flatly hilarious. yeah that'll go great. there will much much unity in the wake of the electoral deathmatch

Now I know how I really feel about the US election because I can't stop sobbing at the news that the left won the election in France. We are so so far from this in the US and yet, if those on the so-called left would just abandon the Democratic party we would be so much closer.

I'm really not sure what folks who keep saying it's the media who are harping on Biden's age are doing. Every person I know think's he's old and has been saying that for a while. This isn't a manufactured concern. Everyone has a diff take re: what to do but that he's old is not in question.

Northern attitudes toward the South are too often dismissive, reductive, and arrogant. Those are our people down there fighting to be free from gerrymandered political domination and exploitation. We should be arm in arm with them, not sneering that they get what they deserve for living there.

I've said it before but it bears repeating. If Fred Hampton could swallow working with white Southern labor blocs who still sometimes held backwards ideas about race, the rest of us Yankees can sure as Hell suck it up and reach out to create ties with Southern organizers.

anyhow my biggest concern about harris vis a vis electability specifically is "the party leadership doesn't like her and doesn't support her" but if they're this willing to go knives out on biden maybe they're willing to swallow some pride. unless they all start having their own faves to run
