Today!

People will cling to the familiar even if it is killing them. If one doesn't understand this basic fact, then you will be so confounded on multiple levels.

The DMV continues to be under siege by militarist authoritarians. Want to fight fascism from the heart of the empire? Join DSA and fight to build socialism! Metro DC DSA is holding its Local Convention on December 6 and 7... mdcdsa.org/chapterupdat... (1/7)

The RENTAL Act was bad and rotten from the start. It’s like sole source sports betting - we’ll continue to discover it’s even worse than we already thought.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

anyway ludicrous to think the right question is “how did DHS lose its way??” and not “why did we build a domestic security super agency in the first place, and who has that power served”

On Thursday, Starbucks baristas in 40+ cities launched an open-ended, national ULP strike. Workers are putting it all on the line and need customers and allies to back them up! Join striking baristas and community supporters building union power. RSVP now: bit.ly/4pbwwy7

Next session!

Come out this weekend to canvass for Metro DC DSA’s endorsed candidates, Frankie Fritz and Omodamola Williams!

At Socialist Night School, you’ll learn about how one rich person being able to buy and dismantle the Washington Post and turn it into his own propaganda rag is the antithesis of Democracy.

Let's annotate: 1. Who did it? Clearly assigns blame. 2. Why did the culprits do it? Motive. 3. What must be done in response?

Tonight!!!

Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are. My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder. a.co/d/29c7EIP

I know it's frustrating in moments of crisis but St. Jane remains correct: there are no shortcuts. You need to build power before you can wield it. There are fights you can pick and lives you can save as you go but if you skip ahead beyond your capacity then the effort and its people won't survive.

One of the fundamental differences between the Democratic and Republican parties is that the Republican Party tends to organize with a long-term perspective in mind; their wins might not be immediate, but they are often strategically positioned to yield significant impact over time.

In light of the DC Council's upcoming DC Water hearing, I'm joining Campaign for Lead Free DC to offer a training on how to testify on Sat, Feb 15, 3-3:45pm. The DC Council's public information about how to testify is woefully inadequate & convoluted. I'll make it plain + useful. Reach out for Zoom.
