Traditionally yes, but the Democratic Socialists of America, as an organization (and of which Mamdani is a member), has a wide array of internal ideological factions within, that include Reformist Socialists, but also more revolutionary factions like Anarchists, Trotskyists, Marxist-Leninists, etc.
The house brings articles of impeachment, and term it's up to the Senate to decide whether or not the president should be convicted, and thus removed from office
Then people started "well red is this, yellow is that, green is that ...."
But the stripes always meant something:
Hot pink = Sex
Red = Life
Orange = Healing
Yellow = Sunlight
Green = Nature
Turquoise = Magic/Art
Indigo = Serenity
Violet = Spirit
Flags being symbolic was never the issue. The progress flag was made in lieu of black, trans, and intersex queer USAmericans being excluded from big, corporate backed, pride events, which brought to the fore, a slew of intra-queer tensions.
By making this new flag, it was a way of symbolically coming together. And it's stuck around because of, well... Everything going on lately.
Weirdly , I think the chevron works. But instead of adding all of the extra stripes , I think it would have been better to make the chevron a single color.
Gilbert Baker, before he died, added a lavender stripe to the original flag to for 'diversity'. I say we blend the chevron with Baker's vision and have it be a singular lavender color
That said, while I think that would be more aesthetically pleasing, I have come around on the progress pride flag in the same way that I like the flag of Maryland. It's so busy that it's circled around from being ugly to charming.
So I'm a relatively young and healthy person. Im lucky enough to live in a city with an extensive parks system, and go hiking very regularly.
I find that it's fun, enjoyable and invigorating because I'm outside, and there are things to see. As a result, the fact that it's exercise becomes secondary.
How are you excercising? Because if it's going to a gym, or walking on a machine... Yeah I'd be miserable too.
If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear.
"Just following orders" is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide
She's got a couple of different podcasts. Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, which is a radical history podcast on the same podcast network as BTB, and Live Like The World is Dying which is a show about prepping.
My first exposure to her was actually by listening to an interview she did for the guerilla radio station operated out of The ZAD, which is in France, and is the largest Anarchist autonomous zone in Europe.
Definitely seconding this recommendation. I've really liked Margarets Killjoy's more adult sci-fi/fantasy output, for a long time. The Free Orcs of Cascadia is a personal favorite.
But she recently wrote a YA fantasy novel called The Sapling Cage which is really wonderful.
I don't disagree, but I think it's worth recognizing that when we talk about the DSA, that it is, for better or worse more than just a reformist org.
