I don't know what that is and I'm poor, I tell you what though I will keep using my free time and labor to organize for socialism though and then charities will be unnecessary

Here let me google that for you: https://swopusa.org/about-us/

I found out about them through Boston DSA. If you lack money, they also organize letter writing campaigns to incarcerated sex workers for free, which is also a good use of your time and labor.

Anyway, I mentioned SWOP’s letter writing campaigns - with the holidays coming up, they also help organize holiday letter writing to sex workers behind bars. It’s totally free and it’s a great thing to do at a general meeting - in Boston a couple years ago we sent like 60+ letters and cards after one meeting. It’s a really nice thing to do.



(Just don’t put anything in the letter about “after the revolution, we’ll have to find something else for you to do!”, it kinda kills the vibe)

personally its dastardly that the person too poor to donate to a charity in the first place didnt immediately know what the random acronym stood for and then also didnt look it up. shows a real lack of dedication to my narrowly specific agenda

hey i also lack money in fact i have somewhere in the realm of -$10k because of medical expenses and no work but no you're right typing "SWOP" in google is just a bridge too far

i did post that to try to own you but I'd argue that it's more of a right wing tactic to dismissively attempt to demean someone by referring to them as a queen. or maybe ace of baes is a complete queen and i dont know it, but that's not the vibe I got, and you absolutely used that as an ironic insult. being trans doesnt give you the right to use it that way lol

Local media just declared Rispone lost a really close one.

I'm not gonna say we made the difference, but obviously it was all us.

With Lee Carter I've heard rumors bubbling about how his big medium post was gaslighting his ex and that he has massive temper problems and has been bullying people into being quiet because he has all this social capital because he tweets a lot. Very convenient for him to be posting this just after he won reelection

I don't think it's wrong for someone to make the call to reveal something like this post-election to avoid de-railing peoples hard work. It was lee's personal choice to stay mum until now.

Yeah it varies from chapter to chapter; the Pittsburgh one is decent and I would not nearly be as useful to the DSA without them being in our labor committee and involved in internal organizing; hell rust belt con wouldn't happen without them.

Also it's concerning that a chapter who worked on getting him elected would distance themselves from him even though he is one of the big success stories for the org electorally.

i see you are not familiar with the USMC

edit: I don't think carter would contest that he has his own issues, nobody comes away from what he's been through without a few scars. Maybe I'm just being too sympathetic because I really look up to the guy and Iv also had to go through the lovely experience of people being unwilling to believe you were abused in a relationship because you are a man
