We’re saddened to hear that our dear comrade Quin from Iowa passed away. According to our members who interfaced with her she was loving, witty and incredibly brave. We send solidarity and love to her friends, family and the CP Iowa. Quin ¡Presenté! ✊🏽
Yesterday we learned that of one of our trans sisters, Quin, died from suicide. By the end of her life, she was named Quin Joy, a testament to how hard she fought for personal happiness as a SA survivor. She was & should be remembered as a proud communist and feminist.

Philadelphia stands united against homophobia, transphobia, and white supremacy being pushed by these billionaire funded fascists. M4L is yet another attempt to drive a wedge between workers and the oppressed. See it for what it is, a cheap attack on the whole working class.

“Jewish problem” is a historically anti-semitic phrase. This

faculty member ought to be ashamed for using that phrase to describe young Jews engaged in a progressive student movement on campus.
Saddens me to say this but my own academic institution Haverford College has a Jewish problem. Its student body is led by Hamas apologists and tainted by anti-Semitism. If I'm a parent to a Jewish student I will not send them to Haverford College.

Two of the biggest disgraces to come out of Pennsylvania.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US Senator John Fetterman, and thanked him for his visit and his consistent support of Israel.
The PM told the Senator that his standing up to pro-Palestinian demonstrators, while waving an Israeli flag, was courageous and heart-warming.
