I’m not Brandon, I’m not Brandon, I shout, leaking my adversarial calls with Bibi

Negative media attention can be such a great asset when you have a candidate who can coast off of it

AIPAC was initially happy to claim that Al Green’s loss to Menefee was a victory for the pro-Israel bloc in Congress, now Menefee is a cosponsor on the most important piece of legislation seeking to block weapon shipments to Israeli apartheid.

I think it's bad that the House Democratic Leader can't just unequivocally condemn a racist smear from a racist newspaper against an army combat medic veteran who just won a primary to join his caucus next year.

Obviously it's the algorithm. You can tell because every previous time in history that vast sums of capital have flowed rapidly to a new and disruptive technology everyone acted totally normal and predictable about it.

It’s dumb enough to filter every DSA election through a factional lens but now we are doing DSA chapter chauvinism? Brain dead

To me this is a good policy. Modern AI is built on the collective creations of all humankind. We should own it collectively.

This was a parade of The Theoretical Idea Of Israel and had nothing to do with the country that exists!!

If I were a Maine voter I would simply vote for my preferred candidate in the Democratic primary and then vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election 😇

Really fascinating how much misinformation about Platner gets spread by big accounts on bsky. The reporting is that the texts were shared with the campaign last year, not that they took place last year. Last time I posted about him someone was very confidently replying that he’s a 2 time trump voter

Far-right Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich marched in NYC today. He called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, leads the settler movement stealing Palestinian land, and faces a possible ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity. Every elected official should condemn his presence here.

Thank you to Jersey City Councilmember and fellow democratic socialist @joel4jc.bsky.social for accompanying me on yesterday's visit to Delaney Hall. Here's how you can support the families of those detained in these horrid conditions: linktr.ee/supportourfa...

At some point you just gotta change your @

I don’t care for Times Square. Too crowded!

I really have no idea what to make of the embrace of Chris Rabb by SOR et al. Of course I'm glad that running DSA candidates in D primaries is now completely hegemonic within DSA. But you also have to worry about how divorced from reality the analysis is sor4dsa.substack.com/p/from-stree...

The Left is Not a Bouncy Castle

Spotify giving me a “vintage golden oldies” playlist with Wilco on it SMDH

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders endorses our campaign. We’re building the only grassroots campaign in MI-07 focused on Medicare for All, restraining Big Tech through a data center moratorium, and stopping endless wars abroad.

There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world.

PAL PAC is thrilled to congratulate Representative @chrisrabb.com on his win in PA-03! This victory sends the unmistakable message to the Democratic establishment: the Democratic base wants a leader who unapologetically speaks up for Palestinian freedom!

Philly elected a democratic socialist to Congress over millions in outside spending and the full weight of the party establishment. Congrats @chrisrabb.com and your whole coalition!

Would be weird to try to discipline candidates over a race the chapter didn't take a position in...

When working people organize, they can move mountains. Congratulations to the 30,000 members of the Hotel Trades Council who just secured this historic contract. And anyone who says housekeepers don't deserve a middle class salary...can go clean their own hotel room.

On bluesky? Make an AI video as part of an NFT sale promoting Graham Platner, possibly that includes some type of educational lesson that what most ppl call mutual aid here is just charity. First 10 likes get Boots Riley tickets. "Biden was senile" critique by end of video

On the picket line with LIRR workers at Penn Station. Three years without a raise is a pay cut. Gov. Hochul and the MTA need to come back to the table and negotiate a fair contract now. The workers who run the busiest commuter rail in North America have waited long enough.

The Block The Bombs Act, which is the most historic and comprehensive bill to ban military transfers to Israel yet introduced, has just reached 70 cosponsors.

Pete Buttigieg is the archetype of a high income Ivy League white collar liberal, opposed in style and substance to a left populist economic program. If you don't like that, it's homophobia.

Everyone is understandably objecting to the homophobia part, but what exactly are we supposed to be envious of? He has the same Ivy League/military/consulting bio of every loathsome DCCC recruit in a swing district. Also he was a very a bad secretary of transportation.

Reading my favorite newspaper the Free Press and spitting out my coffee as I learn that the mayor's wife does not care for Israel

How do you change a voter's mind? One conversation, one tweet, or one post often is not enough. SMC member Ritti Singh in @convergencemag.com examines how campaigns can use comms to change the narrative entirely and sway voters en masse. convergencemag.com/articles/sur...

New Dig ep is an interview with Fahd Ahmed and Alina Shen, leaders of DRUM and CAAAV—two brilliant organizers leading powerful basebuilding organizations—on how they organize, then electing Zohran mayor, and struggling through the contradictions of governance. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/orga...

This is exactly why you always hear democratic strategists complaining about the Red Guards and you never hear them complaining about DSA.

I hope the Times can investigate why the FBI keeps helping Trump’s enemies with their publicity stunts

Good thread! I’d add that part of the attraction of local races is the perception that they allow side stepping the major tensions of socialist electoral politics. I am a big believer in local races but we still need to work through those tensions, not avoid them to keep the “big tent” happy.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

The German SPD (social democrats), greens and Die Linke (leftist party) are leaving X in a coordinated action. The Green leadership is even deactivating their accounts.

Hasan, the Trump voters in the Times, the trans woman working for the military contractor... if you have spent more than 2 seconds thinking about whether they are Good or Bad or Right or Wrong you are wasting your time. There is an ideological framework that can spare you from this misery.

AOC on how Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening VRA: “And so if Republicans are going to redraw North Carolina, if they're going to redraw Texas, if they're going to redraw and gerrymander every one of their states, then unfortunately, we have to provide balance to that”

For decades, the right has used the most undemocratic features of our Constitution — especially the Senate and the Supreme Court — to undermine democracy even more. Today's awful decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act is the result of that slow coup.

You love to see it. You really do
