In Soviet times, communist regimes pressed both men and women into scientific careers. The coercion may be gone, but the legacy remains
Even today, western media describes women’s equality under communism as a bad thing.
And the fact that half of Soviet scientists were women is proof that the reason it’s so low in capitalist countries isn’t “women don’t prefer that kind of work” like some try to claim.

Reminder that the Soviet government was the only government at the time trying to liberate women from domestic work by providing more domestic services on a socialized scale like worker canteens and kitchens etc

Soviet-era poster featuring an Asian woman, an African woman, and a European woman side-by-side, smiling, with Cyrillic text. English translation: March 8, International Women's Day
International Women's Day was originally a soviet holiday meant to celebrate women's many important contributions to society.
If you commemorate the day w/ images of *fictional female characters* from capitalist IPs, I hope you suffer a gnarly paper cut.

Deaf 6-year-old boy is deported to Colombia without his medical devices, attorney says
A Hayward woman and her two young children were detained and deported to Colombia after they showed up earlier this week for an asylum appointment in San Francisco, her attorney said.
ICE deported a 6 year old deaf child with severe disabilities to Columbia.
Before deporting him, they dragged him from camp to camp without providing his assistive hearing devices or a translator.
This innocent child had no way to communicate or understand what was being done to him:

Destabilizing the Middle East has been a long bipartisan project in the name of US capitalist imperialism. It's always been like this. Hillary even mentions Israel here, imagine that.

$170B in lost wages and we're still calling this a "health story." It's a labor story. A productivity-obsessed economy that spent 2021-2023 telling sick people to push through created a disability crisis it now has zero infrastructure to absorb.

This is not a distraction from the Epstein files, which the Kushners (and Ivanka) are IN in
This is the logical continuation of all the shit the world movers and shakers of pedophilic capitalist fascism outlined in what is more of an instructive playbook than it is just a bunch of random files

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center
EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.
The Dilley facility has a measles outbreak.
One toddler needed to be hospitalized in the ICE.
A 13 year old tried to kill herself.
They draw pictures & write letters about how horrible it is.
They scream “let us out”.
This is a moral stain on the entire nation.

Despite relentless attacks, union representation hit a 16-year high in 2025. Nearly half a million more workers are covered by a union contract. Even as the Trump administration tried to weaken our rights, we kept organizing and building power.
