The fact that my landlord can call the police to enforce his property rights but I can't call the police to enforce our lease tells you everything you need to know about what the police's role in society actually is

Ok, update from my sleep researcher partner: "animals don't have bedtimes and they still form the neural circuits necessary for circadian rhythms. flies do not force other flies to sleep at specific times as far as we can tell"

The funniest thing about this blowing up is that my natural circadian rhythm puts my bedtime *earlier* than when I actually go to bed. My struggle is less about waking up for work and more about being awake enough after work to spend time with people

A very specific population but I can't imagine it wouldn't map onto people without hypersomnia.

In DSA we have a strong policy against "democratic centralism" or the idea that there needs to be a "party line" enforced from above upon the membership
Using bullying, rules lawyering, and a thin veneer of "democratic process" to produce the same results is totally fine though

It's not ceding a battle, it's a tactical retreat from a battle that's impossible to win. "Ceding the state to the right and capital" my brother in christ that's what the state is!!!
I think that when the left abstains from electoral politics we are ceding the battle over the state to the Right and capital. It's dangerous & as the years go by I have less and less respect for the lengths some go to obstruct the Left from participating in the political process.

The disaster in East Palestine Ohio is the result of years of deregulation and anti-labor practices. We are here because the rail industry invested in stock buybacks instead of safety and their own workers. Make no mistake - this WILL happen again unless we take action now.
