news: Katie Brennan, Democratic nominee for New Jersey Assembly in the 32nd Legislative District, endorses DSA's Jake Ephros to represent Ward D (The Heights+northern Downtown) on the Jersey City Council www.instagram.com/reel/DNnsj3X...

Incredible artifact

the best way to understand Civitas' role in the consultant economy is that it was Schmidt's way of injecting pro-Silicon Valley polling into the Democrats' decisionmaking process in a way which feigned neutrality

One of the underdiscussed things passed at convention was a resolution committing DSA to running a slate of congressional candidates in 2026! Just out of curiosity, what seats do yall think would be most vulnerable to a primary?

This week’s convention must prioritize debate & discussion on the major questions facing us: trans rights, Palestine, youth organizing, the climate crisis & fighting Trump. That’s why we’re proposing this agenda change. Sign your name in support! docs.google.com/forms/d/1V-0...

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down. The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

we’re going to win the world

I don't think the fact that Zohran Mamdani is running an issues-focused campaign, is inspiring a new generation of voters with bold policy proposals and has over 40,000 volunteer canvassers is coincidental. Those are all results of the democratic socialist ethos at the core of the campaign.

Vote SMC member Daniel Atonna in today's primary election!

A little flashback to winter 2020 issue of Democratic Left. A 28 yr old Indian-Ugandan man wins his NY Assembly seat by 27k votes, becoming apart of NYC DSA’s new state assembly cohort. Today, Zohran Mamdani is now in a 1mn ballot election for Mayor of NYC

Zohran Mamdani: “We are special as DSA electeds not because of ourselves, we are special because of our organization.”

AFTER HEATED SECOND DEBATE AND SUPERPAC ATTACKS, MAMDANI AND CUOMO RACE TO STATISTICAL TIE Read the thread for more insights from our new poll with @dreamfornyc.bsky.social 🧵

he just like me

DSA caucuses should be official entities under the purview of the national organization with an enforced social media policy, financial disclosure requirements, and a baseline code of conduct, not 3 guys in a trench coat that use DSA’s name with no strings attached and spend infinite $ on self-promo

a refrain you’ll hear from sectarians before convention is that you should feel shame for being in DSA, that more “advanced” “revolutionary” socialists look down on us but those folks don’t exist. DSA is the largest, most advanced socialist org in generations. you can’t make me ashamed of it

Democratic Socialists of America seek to democratically transform our society and reject vigilante violence. We condemn the murder of Israeli embassy workers. Any statement otherwise is not the stance of DSA.

Less than a week after they were released, all of the Socialist Majority platform resolutions have gotten enough support to be considered at DSA’s 2025 National Convention this summer! Check out the platform here: www.socialistmajority.com/2025-platform

I'm seeing a lot more of my far left friends posting things like "both parties aren't the same after all" and "there are meaningful ideological divisions even amongst capital/the right/etc". which is good! We should move with the times. but I'm seeing less contrition about it than I'd hope

The staff at this public elementary school in DC showed far more courage than an Ivy with $15 billion endowment

it's wild to see people who push abundancism also hate on "the professional elite". Bubba the elite are the people reading your books, pushing your narratives, and voting for your candidates

socialism is merely an extension of the ideal of democracy into the economic field

"When partisanship is taken into account along with class, the ["Trump's Kryptonite"] study finds that “Democratic working-class respondents strongly favor candidates promoting progressive social policies,” while Republican working-class respondents sharply oppose them." jacobin.com/2025/03/clas...

Elon is right to be mad at us: we do in fact hate billionaire oligarchs. and unlike the right, we are funded by dues paying members, not corporate donors.

yglesias and shor were the two most influential voices in the Biden administration with respect to immigration and culture war issues, and, unsurprisingly, those are the two issues which went so far to the right that literal neo-Nazis are running the government now

Seeing every major political power broker in New York agree that serial sexual abuse is not only okay, but getting into a position to abuse new victims is a "comeback," is absolutely disgusting. Do not rank Cuomo.

The only thing New Yorkers hate more than a politician they disagree with is one they can’t trust to tell them the truth.

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular." "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

sharing the deceitful response I got from Elena Parent's office. classic "I support trans rights BUT--" segue into trying to explain away support for SB 185 by equating it to 'surgeries' when in fact it would ban all HRT for all state prison inmates. @elenaparent.bsky.social did you read the bill?

one curious feature of our particular dismal political era: some people have gotten so addicted to the particular vice signaling around empathy / concern for other people that they seem to see evidence that something will benefit others as evidence that it will harm them

another funny thing about that guy's bad Cuomo post is the idea that Andrew Cuomo might be a pro transit yimby mayor he was the governor for years my man he is the cars and housing values guy (he's also a corrupt serial abuser but the idea he'll be a trendy mod lib abundance candidate is lol)

Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

Do not forget this when it comes time for local DSA chapter turnover and convention delegate elections. Socialists must lead, and gutting national staff infrastructure in a presidential election year polarizing the union and shearing off a chunk of dsa members over this issue wasn’t it.

oh cool, so the solidarity dues drive worked, we cut a bunch of people we didn't have to, and the DSA 'left' are union-busting innumerates
