1. Whisky Tango Foxtrot!

This is not a real thing.
You want the real leftist conference, check out www.leftforum.org. It is this weekend in NYC. Hundreds of talks, forums, and such at John Jay College. Sponsored by CUNY Graduate Program. Many notables have been there.

2. Oh is that this week. I usually end up seeing some of that on the internet.

I hope they make a lot of good quality videos this year.

Wells Fargo Deliberately Pushed Dangerous Loans On Blacks, Hispanics

4. This is intersectional incrementalism or

And I'll echo the Fuck :sigh:.

5. Divide and conquer.

It pisses off unsophisticated white working class people without in any way inconveniencing the very wealthy.

6. That's interesting.

I was thinking OK now the big money is stepping in to co-opt the legacy of BPP, and probably whitewash their history in the process. BPP was a revolutionary, Marxist-Leninst, organization. Not something these banks and wall street landlords would be comfortable sponsoring. Unless they are just trying to buy this history so they can erase it. And to strip all the threatening parts out. Which is what it seems to be. Which relates to what you said.

7. You go into more detail, but that's basically it. n/t
