“I stopped using the bathroom in my own school.”
Allowing men into girls’ bathrooms isn’t “inclusive.” As Ella so plainly explains, it’s exclusive to the very girls these spaces were created to protect.
The adults are cowards. @EllaFrei17 is a hero.
Capitalism is a powerful force for good. It benefits everyone, especially those who lean in and help build the future.
But it’s under attack (again). Wealth taxes, price controls, government-run grocery stores, asset seizures. Fear is being used as a political lever and an excuse for control. I’ve seen this play out before, it leads nowhere good.
I lived in Buenos Aires in 2008 when the Argentine government seized $30B in private pensions to ‘protect’ citizens from the financial crisis. Then they froze access to the dollar and nationalized companies. Within a decade, inflation was over 50%. The elites had miraculously moved their money, leaving regular people to take the financial hit.
Politicians are selling collectivism out of the same playbook used by Argentina, Venezuela, and the former Soviet Union: promise protection, concentrate power, tighten the fist. And the costs fall on the poorest people in society who are unable to protect themselves.
Capitalism isn't perfect. But it’s far better than every alternative that’s been tried. Millions of people making independent decisions, with the free market rewarding the best ideas, will out-build any central planner.
I am encouraged that so many Democrats are recognizing what a threat the DSA is.
I am genuinely confused how they don’t see it as an entirely logical outworking of the philosophies and world view they’ve pushed for decades.
DSA is not some wild aberration. It’s a very logical consequence of the Democrats world view.
After all, if Trump is a threat to democracy and we’re all fascists and capitalism is exploitive, and environmental catastrophe is right around the corner…if all that is true, then the DSA are the ones who want decisive action in the form of socialist revolution to correct these errors and achieve that “social justice” Democrats constantly prattle on about.
In short the DSA are the true adherents to modern democratic philosophy.
The Democrats caught off guard by this are finally realizing that the revolution is going to eat them, because their “moderation” is seen as a betrayal of principle.
So while I’m glad to see them identifying a genuine threat, I seriously doubt they recognize the role they played in creating the monster that is now devouring them.
Yes, call these people what they actually are, thank you. If you praise socialism/ communism, you are evil. 40-60 million dead due to socialism/ communism under Mao…
Foreign communist $ is laundered through pleasantly-named NGOs to bankroll redshirt here at AFT to turn our schools into indoctrination camps & convert your children into commie street animals. This is a deliberate foreign subversion & why you don't recognize your kids anymore.
Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
Karl Marx hated the traditional family.
So how do you sell people on giving up on one of the most important institution in human history?
-Tell women it’s oppressive.
-Tell men to be passive.
-Tell them both children are a burden.
-Denigrate the family in entertainment.
-Replace husbands and fathers with the state.
@JamieMetzl It is a logical outworking of the Marxist ideas Democrats have pushed for years.
If you don’t like it, start looking at your underlying assumptions, not just the latest outworking.

Socialists are truly the dumbest people on earth.
