Socialism is the struggle of the working class against capitalism — the whole working class. If your organizing excludes or devalues the struggles of disabled workers, non-US workers, sex workers, or incarcerated workers, consider what it is you’re really organizing for.

The idea of a “straight pride parade” was correctly mocked across Twitter yesterday: it’s a ridiculous idea. But ridiculous or not, it’s being organized as a front by someone who has a history of organizing fronts for far-right provacateurs whose goal is harassment and violence.

THREAD: There were a lot of tweets about the “Straight Pride” parade that’s going to be held in Boston in August. It’s just a rebrand of Resist Marxism, a violent far-right group based in Boston, MA. Let’s meet the organizer, Mark Sahady, and see his ties to violence and hate.

Carroll's salary is $51,000 a year. Marty Meehan's salary (President of UMass) is $550,000. The SVP of health sciences makes a million bucks a year. Balance the budget from their salaries, not by laying off Bob Carroll and others.

After 30 years, Bob Carroll is one of 44 employees set to be laid off in January as part of UMass administrators’ plan to balance a budget that is in trouble after years of what auditors have called financial mismanagement and lax oversight.

There it is! My Republican friend from Pennsylvania finally admitted it last night. After the tax bill passes, they are going to come back to cut your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They must be defeated.

Mark’s one of Resist Marxism’s “activists”, and one of the main organizers behind Saturday’s event. He’s also a big fan of memes riffing off Augusto Pinochet’s brutal fascist regime that was famous for murdering dissidents by dropping them out of helicopters.
