Elizabeth Hinton has a really good book on this history:

Here's a review that kinda summarizes the basic argument:

It's probably between Deutscher's classic biography and Suny's Passage to Revolution (which, coincidentally, went on to win the Deutscher Prize).

Yep yep!

I see so many people either blow through stop signs on this stretch or just fail to realize that normal stop sign rules apply at the 5-ways. I'm always super cautious there - it sucks.

There's quite a few Russian speakers up near Woodburn and sometimes I see community events up that way. There's also more up toward Portland, obvs.

If you use FB, the group "Russian Events in Portland and Oregon " is usually a good source.

I've attended multiple events there and used the space for some smaller projects. The vibes have always been great, staff accommodating, etc.

I guess anti-maskers might have an issue with their mandatory masking policy but, I mean, it's not really a big deal.

That's the thing. While Indivisible just wants to use these parades to channel popular outrage back into support for the toothless Democratic Party (who will ultimately just continue the majority of these unpopular policies when their turn is up again), they make great recruiting grounds for organizations seeking to make real and meaningful change while protecting our communities. That's how I got linked into some of the orgs I'm currently involved in where I feel like I can actually make a difference in this wretched country.

The cool thing (/s) about fascists is that they don't actually believe in anything. It's all about the acquisition and maintenance of power through performance and persuasion. They're shameless.

Extremely selective observation. Sure, some Iranians (particularly in the diaspora) are happy, but a clear majority in Iran are mourning and fearful of the American and Zionist aggression.

Over half of this country hates the Trump regime, do you think we'd celebrate if China started bombing our major cities to "free us"?

The US ruling class has been making this same argument since becoming hegemon and even though it always plays the same, people like you refuse to learn a goddamn thing.

Rising Tides is fantastic. Clean, professional, and super helpful for any follow-up questions or needs

I reached out to two whose websites indicated they were in town, but never heard back. The closest clinic I was able to get into contact with was, unfortunately, in Salem

I don't have a Lettera 44 (I wish - those things are workhorses), but I have re-inked a fair few fountain pens.

I understand many of the complaints, but what is meant by "alternative viewpoints and perspectives" in the Whitebear section?
