Independent congressional candidate Shimon Blau's race against Democrat Melat Kiros is complicated by years of right-wing online posts.

Just witnessed a dirty exchange on a communist sub where a POC was banned for arguing in favor of the US VRA & CRA. The ban conditions were 'no liberal apologia'.

Too many are mucking up a fight for enfranchisement with extracting concessions to-- and willingly participating in-- liberalism's capitalist appetites.

>As far as possible they should be League members and their election should be pursued by all possible means. Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention.- Karl Marx and Frederick Engels Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League London, March 1850

This naturally plugs into the question of whether voting in the current 'democracy' changes anything or simply subsumes revolutionary change, etc. But it's ironic that the first to lose their participation in any change, with no pushback from certain allies, are people of color.

(Bear with me on this suggestion. I know that the Court of Owls was introduced nearly 21 years after the Obeah Man story in Detective Comics. But the narrative strings were there for Scott Snyder to pull from in 2011)

Jack and Janet Drake should've been ex-members murdered by the Court the moment they found out about Tim. Detective Comics hinted for years at Jack's business associations and he's a perfect fit for membership in The Court.

And if anyone could undermine, break and reform the Court and its Talons, it would have been/ still could be be Tim.

Straight from the source, folks. That same officer went on to say "no matter the age" of who they encounter. They're just paid executioners and they're pretty proud of that fact.
