ANTI-HARRIS LEFTYS HIT A BRICK WALL
[[link removed]]

By Angela Yang
NBC News

Some left-leaning social media users were quick to
criticize progressives’ willingness to vote for “a cop,” and
some pro-Palestinian voters argued that Harris’ foreign policy would
be just as intolerable as Biden’s. Soon, however, a slew of
TikToks and X posts lambasted the narrative that Harris is on par
with former President Donald Trump.

THE PROS AND CONS OF PROTEST

Not all disruptive protests are created equal — and not all are
equally beneficial in advancing a cause. Some actions can win popular
support and help escalate energy within a movement. Others can drive
away potential participants, repel sympathizers and invite state
repression. Some actions lead to victory, while others trap activists
into a cycle of self-isolation and alienation from the wider public.

Beyoncé VS. HULK HOGAN

Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Fighting Championship
President Dana White lauded Trump’s toughness as they introduced his
convention speech. Harris' first official campaign video used
the Beyoncé power anthem “Freedom,” which she also plays at
campaign events. Harris has put “freedom to make decisions about
your own body” at the center of her message.

Democrats have warned of the damage that Project 2025 could do to
the federal government and access to reproductive care if former
President Trump wins in November. The Heritage Foundation-backed plan
would do far more than that. Its 900-page wishlist could reshape
daily life for millions of Americans if some of its less publicized
recommendations are adopted.

SOCIAL CLEANSING OF PARIS

With the approach of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, organizers and
aid groups are working to ensure the continuation of social services
in the city. They are also trying to stop the evictions of over 12,500
of the city’s most vulnerable people, who often face the destruction
of their dwellings, belongings and documents.

“OIL KILLS” PROTESTS DISRUPT AIRPORTS

By Steve Topple

Cars arriving at Montreal Airport were disrupted on Wednesday 24 July,
as supporters of Last Generation Canada joined US and European
groups taking nonviolent action with Oil Kills – the International
Uprising to end oil, gas and coal by 2030. This came after seven
groups caused disruption at airports across Europe earlier in the day.

UNDERCOVER IN THE INCEL MOVEMENT

By Sian Norris

Incel stands for involuntary celibates: a group of men and boys who
feel sexually rejected by women and who are very angry about it. The
subcultures’ violent fantasies have spilled out into real-life
terror, with extremists driving vans into cafes, shooting men and
women in California, murdering Asian sex workers in massage parlours,
and stabbing people to death in Plymouth, UK.

PAY ATTENTION TO LEONARDO LEO

By Dennis Aftergut
Salon

The extremist justices are seizing a moment that Leo has prepared
them for – a moment to put back in the tube a forward looking, equal
opportunity America where church and state are separate. Within their
grasp is a presidential dictatorship by which they can realize the
rightwing, religious future-state that they perceive as the natural
law of the universe.

JANE MCALEVEY, HELLRAISER

By Sarah Jaffe
The Baffler

Jane made a calculated gamble a decade and a half ago, believing that
sharing her experience in the labor movement, her triumphs and
mistakes, her fights and feuds, would be worth something to thousands
of people who had no idea what the world of an organizer was like. She
was right.
