I have been clear for a long time that re-imposing an explicit white supremacist racial hierarchy is central to the MAGA project and yet they are somehow still way more racist than I anticipated.

Trump says Iran war could last weeks March 3, 2026

If I were criticizing AOC I would simply do it without revealing my creepy psychosexual obsession and misogyny

SMC member Tascha Van Auken was an essential part of Zohran's victory. Now she's an integral part of his administration, heading up his Office of Mass Engagement. Read her profile in @newyorker.com below: www.newyorker.com/news/new-yor...

So proud to cast my ballot for @socialists.nyc to re-endorse @aoc.bsky.social 🫡

Multiple DSA caucuses established an extremely clear litmus test for support for AOC in the last few days. She met it. Have any of them moved to formally support endorsing her? If they don't, do we have to keep pretending their "red lines" represent anything more than a tool of faction fighting?

what does pivotal mean

AOC offered a politically sound legal justification for not only not giving Israel any arms funding, but prohibiting the sale of arms by enforcing the laws flaunted by the Biden administration, and the dumbest most illiterate posters on left twitter lost their minds.

US not veering into a new, endless war, Pentagon says March 2, 2026

So many of us, including @claireforny.bsky.social would not be here today without Bernie's extraordinary leadership in the fight for working people against the billionaire class. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for all you have given and continue to give our movement!

Three things made me a democratic socialist: low-wage jobs, the labor movement, and the presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders. His political revolution changed my life — and showed millions of Americans what's possible when working people organize. I am so grateful for his support.

Unironically I support this

one reason i wanted kamala to win in 2024 is i fucking need the end result of the Trump era to be a woman becoming president. nothing would be a greater repudiation of the misogynist politics of our era than transition from a president who is a convicted rapist to a young woman. that can be AOC

Stopping US bombs to the genocide in Gaza requires champions in Congress, which is why we've made it a priority to build & deepen DSA's relationships with socialists in Congress, and elect more. AOC has been a leader on Palestine & we're thrilled about her expanded commitment.🌹

Like the guy or not, Lenin was cooking when he said "Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin."

One on the left is for the protestors. One on the right is for the GOP, corporate Dems & the greedy bigot cowards who abet them.

New @groundwork.bsky.social report explains NYC's budget gap, largely a result of the previous admin's deliberate undercounting. Now we have a choice: a small tax increase on the richest, a property tax hike that hits working class homeowners the hardest, or deep cuts to services. Tax the rich.

Number one mistake Zelenskyy has made since 2022 is not going back in time and making sure that the American political establishment, commentariat and intelligentsia developed a deeply irrational infatuation with Ukraine that has absolutely no correlation to Ukrainian behavior, goals, or ambitions.

La clase trabajadora merece recibir inversiones por parte de nuestro estado. Cuando Albany asigna fondos insuficientes a la ciudad de Nueva York, las familias latinas —y todos nuestros vecinos— pagan el precio.

Friday night, rank-and-file union members and leaders came together to launch Labor for Claire. This is the movement that raised me — and together, we're going to win.

got a tip that “social murder” is going to be the new “emotional labor” online (will be used by the extremely off-putting to describe nobody wanting to hang out with them)

So funny to see conservatives accidentally make the case for single payer health insurance... www.aei.org/articles/the...

Thank you Mr. Mayor 🫡

New Yorkers are fed up with their tax dollars funding genocide, war and apartheid while working families struggle to get by. That's what unchecked AIPAC money buys. @votepalpac.bsky.social is fighting to change that. So proud to have their support.

Non-tenure-track contract faculty at NYU went on strike this morning after over a year of bargaining (capped by a 24-hour+ marathon session). Big crowd of @uaw.org members and supporters, incl lots of students. They’re picketing over pay, workload, AI, a voice in faculty governance, & more.

Perfect

The turnout in 2018 completely redrew the electoral map in NYC. On the Salazar campaign we went into election day having positive IDs = to our projected win number. Our opponent Dilan got *double* what we thought the win number was. We beat him 60/40.

We’ve got nothing to hide and everything to be proud of when it comes to our Cuba work. It is the model for effective internationalist organizing in DSA. So much so that the Right Wing is giving us props. Join us. go.dsausa.org/cuba

Congratulations to DSA member, labor organizer, Assemblymember, SMC member, and working-class champion for Congress, @claireforny.bsky.social, on being named in @cityandstateny.bsky.social's Queens Power 100. Read and support Claire below:

Vote No War but Class War slate for Anti-War Working Group OC! We are fighting for an anti-war movement led by DSA and the working class. Ending imperialism must be incorporated into every aspect of our work, and it must be @socialists.nyc leading the fight.

The Odeh family were returning home from a shopping trip in Nablus when Israel's occupation forces — funded by our tax dollars — shot and killed the mother, father and two of their four children. The surviving children are recovering from shrapnel wounds.

I liked at the end of One Battle After Another when Benicio Del Toro's character turned to the camera and said "I am a democratic socialist now" and then specified he's the exact kind of democratic socialist I am

We condemn the act of violence in West Bloomfield. Our chapter stands in solidarity with the Jewish community, and all communities, against violence and bigotry of any kind. No one should face violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship.

The foundation of American fascism rests on three things: extreme bigotry, whining about other people's coffee orders, and saying "so much for global warming" whenever it's cold out

Retvrn

The “eliminate taxes on income under $75k” thing is especially annoying because we already broke the seal on the equally gimmicky but way cooler and better policy of mailing everyone a check with a big round number on it.

It's really fascinating how committed Mamdani's enemies are to hammering him on an issue that is 1) almost entirely symbolic (in terms of the job of Mayor), 2) very high salience for his base, who support him totally 3) very low salience for the bulk of the people they need to turn against him

FACT: Starbucks has spent unfathomable amounts on union-busting their own workers. ANOTHER FACT: Baristas are cutting through the corporate BS and continuing to WIN! Congratulations to workers at Colorado's 14th & Tomichi store - they just won their union!!! ✊🔥

As someone recently diagnosed with adult ADHD I find it relatable and humanizing that Donald Trump forgot to fill up the strategic petroleum reserve before launching the illegal war of aggression against Iran
