ABOLISH ICE 📅 Tuesday, June 10th ⏰ 6:00pm 📍 Davenport U.S. Courthouse (131 E 4th St) WEAR A MASK - BRING A FRIEND

“This is not normal” says the party who never stopped ICE raids. “This is not normal” says the party that armed Israel’s genocide. “This is not normal” says the party who unanimously confirmed Marco Rubio. It’s time to build a party that serves people, not profits.

In response to Trump's attacks on the working class, the Democrats decided to hype up... *checks notes* Ronald Reagan⁉️ The Democrats aren't fighting for the working class. We are. Join us on March 12th to find out how you can fight back against the Trump admin: actionnetwork.org/events/fight...

Some baristas are being told NOT to reference Black History Month when writing on cups & bags, although they face potential discipline for not writing anything at all - even when understaffed or during a rush. Why is this an issue, and why is Starbucks management emboldened to make these decisions?

QCDSA’s Mutual Aid Working Group was in Davenport today giving out winter clothing and hygiene supplies to our unhoused comrades. As socialists, we believe that everyone should have their essential needs met, but capitalism creates the conditions for homelessness to exist. 🧵

Since Trump's election, many Democratic pundits & elites have indicated it's time to stand down. They think the “Resistance” of protest movements from 2016-2020 went too far, & people should now fight less hard. I call these people "The Desistance”— they’re wrong! www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-r...

Our statement on updates to the collapse of 324 Main St in Davenport: quadcitiesdsa.org/2025/02/07/o...

Day after day across this country cops can kill without any consequence, making them judge, jury, and executioner. Jakarta Jackson should've been alive today and Officer Brett Taylor should be out of a job. Fire Brett Taylor. #justice4jakarta

Scott Co. Attorney Kelly Cunningham is not filing charges against landlord Andrew Wold for the 2023 collapse of 324 Main St in Davenport which killed three of his tenants and evicted dozens more 🧵

Gen Z: No one is coming to save us. It’s time to unionize. The ultra-rich are ruining the lives of the next generation. The solution is to organize for power, fight, and win.

DSA stands for a free Palestine! 🇵🇸 🌹 #freepalestine #armsembargonow #solidarity

Solidarity with the Starbucks workers in Bettendorf! May they be victorious in their struggle for a union! qctimes.com/news/local/b...

Trump: *illegally and unilaterally claims power to pause funding to hospitals, preschools, health clinics, Meals on Wheels, students, and more* Democratic leadership:

Solidarity with the Whole Foods workers who made history today with their union election! Workers deserve a Whole Paycheck!

@ericsorensen.bsky.social voted with Republicans for the Laken Riley Act, a bill that allows migrants to be detained by ICE for a variety of minor offenses. This bill has passed Congress and will certainly be signed by Trump into law, further emboldening his power grab and persecution of immigrants

A ceasefire in Gaza has finally been announced, but we must remain clear-eyed: the struggle is not over. DSA will continue to fight for the end of apartheid, for a free Palestine from the river to the sea and for an end to US imperialism. Read our statement: www.dsausa.org/statements/o...

TRUMP LAUNCHES MASS DEPORTATIONS YDSA reiterates our belief that "no human is illegal" and we stand in strong opposition to the closure and militarization of the southern border as well as Trump's direct attacks against our fellow community members (1/2🧵)

Feeling scared, not sure what to do? Come talk with us at our monthly chapter meeting this Saturday, 2:00pm at the Davenport Main Library! 🌹 RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/chapt...

Here's our month so far. We've got more events coming up, so watch this space!

Today in the US is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, commemorating the legendary civil right activist and socialist who was murdered supporting a strike of sanitation workers. While lauded today, when alive he was demonised by politicians and media. stories.workingclasshistory.c...

Today, we celebrate the life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., remembering his leadership in the Civil Rights Movement as well as his unwavering support for labor rights and economic justice.

Even as Trump steps in to "save TikTok", we've known that for YEARS, Democrats, Republicans, and their shared corporate donors have worked to ban the app-- including Trump and Biden. Last-minute policy choices to save face won't save their legacy from being one of censorship.

Starbucks backtracked on our path forward, failing to support the workers who are central to the company’s turnaround. Sign & share the No Contract No Coffee pledge to show them that not bargaining higher wages and better benefits for union baristas is bad for business! ✊SIGN - bit.ly/signNCNC

The Quad Cities Democratic Socialists of America (QCDSA) is purchasing essential winter items for people in need in the Quad Cities for our Solidarity Shopping project. You can help by donating goods, effort, transportation, and/or money.

Join hundreds of workers and organizers to discuss "We Are the Union" from @ericblanc.bsky.social and its practical ideas for scaling up grassroots unionism. Participants will receive 50% off the book. RSVP link below 👇

The BDS movement, welcomes the news of a ceasefire agreement with immense relief. A ceasefire, however, is only the most important first step to end the genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. bdsmovement.net/After-Ceasef...

A victory for the Cuban people and the Cuba solidarity movement! The Biden admin has taken the long overdue step of removing #Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terror list.

The largest firestorm in Los Angeles history has killed 11 people and counting, destroyed thousands of homes, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Angelenos.

On Jan 5, Rock Island PD pulled over, shot and killed Jakarta Jackson in his car in front of his family. The police's story has changed several times. TODAY show up to Rock Island City Hall at 6:00pm. Demand RIPD release the bodycam footage #JusticeForJakarta

Starbucks workers in LA are being forced to work in areas impacted by the recent wildfires - even where the air quality is unsafe. Management told partners that stores must open because “the community depends on us,” ignoring that some workers had to evacuate their own homes.

With climate-change turbocharged windstorms pushing wildfires into our communities, it's critical to stay alert, be prepared, and stand in solidarity with each other. We’ll be be continually updating our resource guide at dsa.la/emergency with newe, opportunities to respond, and organize.

Workers are on the frontlines of every natural and man-made disaster. Whether it's COVID, wildfires, floods, or earthquakes, working people bear the brunt of the damage. With private sector union density at only about 7%, most of us on those frontlines have little support. 🧵
