When the world goes to shit, people do step up. When that happens and you've been busting your ass for years you can either be mad they didn't do it earlier, or you can be proud that you helped lay out a path and recognize that your role is to guide a new leader into their role.

Mitt Romney moving to the left of most prominent Democrats in power on taxes was not on my bingo card.

all i can say is that we are going to win

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that how Harvard and the economics profession respond to Larry Summers will determine who makes up the next generation of economists. #econsky #news #harvard

Socialist Majority believes in a majoritarian movement for democratic socialism: we work together toward a bigger and unified DSA. We support the updated NYC-DSA dues page and applaud our SC members for voting to ensure there is only one standard of membership: national dues.

Tascha is a working-class hero. Kudos to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his campaign for always highlighting the importance that field organizing plays in building the majority we need.

Tascha gave so many people the courage to knock that first door, make that first call and build the bridges with our neighbors that got us this far. Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, we’ll build a City Hall for all of us.

Sounds like a DSA position to me

Trump wants us to believe he's unstoppable But social scientists have found that 52% of all attempts to build autocracies are relatively quickly reversed by democratizing "U-Turns" — and, within the last 30 years, this number has risen to 73%

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it

*puts on best neoliberal voice* How are you going to pay for that? www.inquirer.com/education/ye...

One of the biggest limitations of almost all electoral efforts—including Obama & Bernie's campaigns—is that they dismantle their volunteer armies after election day Instead, Zohran could actively transform his huge GOTV machine into a deep organizing campaign to win his agenda

he's right and he's right to say it

SMC congratulates @socialists.nyc and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on their amazing victory in the Democratic primary. This win shows the value of a clear, popular, socialist platform that speaks to working people, and that organizing and mass movements are the keys to victory.

Socialist Majority is excited to announce our 2025 NPC candidates! We are proud to be running a slate of such strong, diverse, and experienced organizers. Learn more about them during our candidate forum call on Sunday, July 6th at 4PM PT / 7PM ET. RSVP at bit.ly/SMCslate2025

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

i just want democrats to hate republicans as much I hate them and as much as they hate us

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

I know we’re all keeping track of lines crossed, and there’s more than any one person can track, but this one—I honestly don’t know what to say (other than we knew Homan was going to push all officers of the law into doing the work of mass deportation, and now that includes… arresting judges)

Very nice explanation of what happened with hedge funds and the bond markets Nathan ends: "Democracy surviving in the United States looks so much better than it did two weeks ago." I agree but with the caveat that the China tariffs could escalate to war and then democracy's chances get much worse

“They think they can manage the crisis. They wouldn’t create it if they didn’t think they could manage it. Our job is to make it unmanageable.”

Funding is shut off for some Head Start programs in Washington State, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and possibly elsewhere, according to Lisa Desjardins. Preschool programs will have to shut down if they don't receive the funds.

Apparently, but unsurprisingly, my threads on twitter are being marked "offensive"

Another day, another surprise bill, another day learning that one of my family's medical insurers is acting in a way that violates the No Surprises Act.

I'm sorry but two former Bureau of the Fiscal Service employees reached out after my piece and said it was accurate and they had the exact same concerns, I really do not care about people nitpicking and attributing meaning to my statements that weren't there. Take it to discord.

From @nathantankus.bsky.social analysis to @popdemoc.bsky.social's ears and mobilization!

All I want for Christmas is some union-made burp cloths.

With every decision we make we have to ask — Will this help us reach unorganized people? Will it grow our power? We can’t expect different results using the same strategy, the same decisions, the same too-small set of organizations + people

people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization

pundits keep telling me that trump’s wins aren’t related to racism and yet when he wins there sure seems to be people who see it as license to be extremely racist

Resonates with those of us who organized with unemployed workers during and after the pandemic for permanent UI reform

Standards boards like these improve people’s lives and make it easier to organize. They’re an essential tool to ensuring a future where everyone has the freedom to be part of a union. Shame on Frey.

*I share my newborn daughter’s long Mexican name to our hospital nurses* Nurse: “Aww what a beautiful princess name for a beautiful princess.” Me and my wife, working-class small r republicans:

The UAW’s proposed contracts with the Big 3 automakers expire on April 30th, 2028. They have invited other unions to set the same expiration date in their contracts. The reason for this invitation is so that on May Day 2028 “we can begin to flex our collective muscles.”
