Parents in Sweden are entitled to 480 days of paid parental leave when a child is born or adopted. Each parent – should they be two – is entitled to 240 of those days. A single parent is entitled to the full 480 days.
Ukraine negotiated much more favorable terms for itself in Istanbul in April 2022. I hope that those who encouraged Zelensky to walk away — and the many more people who denied that this happened — reflect on how much death and suffering could have been prevented:
The reason Corporate Dems are freaking out is because for the first time in decades, they are losing their power to help their donors control Democrats’ agenda.

Every day the 2021 Force the Vote campaign becomes more salient. The DSA progressives’ unwillingness to have an adversarial relationship with the corporate Zionist Democratic Party increasingly looks like a feature, not a bug.
I feel like we need to use "Neera Tanden" as a verb which means to be simultaneously and glaringly sarcastic, ignorant, lazy and self-incriminating. She's like an Amy Sedaris character.
Neera Tanden helped run the campaign that insisted Obama couldn’t win a national election, and now she pretends that didn’t happen and assumes nobody can do a Google search
@BluesMaldito I don’t think AI can replace anything. I read buy books … i don’t write on my phone nor read vast. I try to stay off screens .. how about you?
It gives me no pleasure to be cynical, but how many times do we have to do this before voters realize they’re being duped into voting for corporatists who have no interest in “fixing” anything?
Notice what Trump managed to accomplish *without* a supermajority? Remember how Biden had a trifecta when Roe was overturned? Remember when Obama had a supermajority?
Jacobin is *literally* publishing pieces that “explain” why you shouldn’t expect the largest left caucus ever elected to actually LEVERAGE their votes, they’re ignoring the role police/state violence will play in ensuring popular will never translates into material change, they’re mad at *me* for pointing out how inconsistent it is to praise AOC/Zohran for their pro Palestine rhetoric when they’ve pre-endorsed a Zionist corporatist to LEAD the democratic caucus— like what are we doing here?
Khanna is outflanking AOC to the left on a number of issues, including endorsing Jeffries for speaker, and it’s easy to read the comparative disinterest in him, and the feverish excuse making for AOC, as the result of a cult of personality unmoored from ideological principle or strategy.
