My prediction is that Marvin Harrison Jr starts clicking and the Cardinals go on a Cinderella story attempt at the playoffs that ends with a Week 18 doink field goal attempt that eliminates them from postseason play

Lowkey the dumper isn't even that big

What's the fucking point then

Greatest thread in the history of the forums etc etc

Today’s the day I’ve waited so long for (first Seahawks game)

There are a surprising number of NFL wide receivers with hyphenated names. Jaxon Smith-Njigba Marquez Valdez-Scantling JuJu Smith-Schuster Amon-Ra St Brown I can only think of one non-WR with a hyphenated name and that's Maurice Jones-Drew

I find Buddhism hopeful in the way that I always wanted Christianity to be when I was practicing it intensely

Part of the fun of the 2013-14 seahawks was that 49ers-era Jim Harbaugh was such a good villain.

Solidarity forever

I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that the best thing you can do to help your DSA chapter is to cultivate love and compassion within yourself

DSA Buddhist caucus, which immediately splits into rival factions over the issue of Dorje Shugden veneration

My cat is so caught in samsara is embarrassing

Pro-housing socialists like Willie and Zohran are the future for both the YIMBY movemenf and Left! Super excited to see this

Huge congratulations to @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social for winning the mayoral endorsement from @somervilleyimby.org !! It means a lot that housing justice groups recognize that he's the best candidate. Now let's get him in office! somervilleyimby.org/elections/20...

At age 26, I’ve finally fulfilled a lifelong dream I have an actual official jersey for a current Seahawks player SPOON

Amazing article - and my personal favorite part :) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ok google does smoking cigarettes get me closer to enlightenment

At the DSA National Convention, I’ve been struck by the need for a new kind of politics in DSA. So we’re starting a new caucus. Provisionally called “Your Caucus”—directly elected, member driven, and for the first time, explicitly socialist. Join us: yourcaucus.us

I think if there’s another 1m1v resolution proposed for 2027 (which I hope there will be) that the resolution would include restrictions on campaign spending in some form

If you look on the far left you can see me running to be in the picture because I was late

Now that convention's over I can admit that every single restaurant I went to in Chicago was mid to bad

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

As we head into three days of deliberation that will shape the next two years of DSA, NPC candidate Leslie C articulates how we can seize the moment and fight ICE through coalition building, civil disobedience, and contesting for state power. www.socialistmajority.com/theagitator/...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

In theory we would be seeing more DSA activity showing up here, since we passed a resolution at convention urging members to get off Twitter. But I doubt that's going to happen.

"What electorate would put their trust in a political cause that says it doesn’t care about what comes next? How could this Left inspire any faith in progress, if it’s all the same to them whether the manatees take over and the maternity wards empty out?" jacobin.com/2025/06/futu...

This is the bind that every sports league has been in for the past decade - it's better for players *and* fans if rough play is penalized, but both groups will loudly and incessantly complain if they start enforcing tougher rules

Privatised water really is one of those things that I'm sorry not sorry, but the most vulgar folk socialist analysis really holds on: how can you possibly justify letting the market handle a resource that can only be provided in one area by one provider, and that everyone needs

Mike Huckabee spoke out against the Israeli settler killing of a 20-year-old American before Chuck Schumer did

I'm finding it really hard not to be burnt out on DSA stuff right now

Man I’m not criticizing anyone who gets their ass up and marches around for something good, I don’t care if they’ve got a sign like “Domuld Drumpf hope u like Hamberders” they bought markers for that shit good for them

In the Agitator, Mike D. analyzes @dsarandr.bsky.social's dirty break convention resolution, arguing that a break and programmatic unity would unintentionally make DSA a more conservative organization. He distinguishes between 'party logic' and the way DSA chooses candidates now. Link below:

You can find his piece, and our other writings, on our website www.socialistmajority.com/theagitator/...

My first step toward becoming a socialist was un-learning the young-earth creationism I was raised with

Nepo baby horses

What do folks recommend as the most convincing readings on prison abolition? It's a blind spot in my belief structure and I want to be more informed on the arguments for and against

"The argument, 'We have outgrown Bernie,' is one often made by sectarians in DSA. If it’s an argument about maturity...then the sectarian majority on the NPC should have something to show for itself after two years in leadership. It does not."

Great article from our Groundwork friends - I think this paragraph alone makes the strongest case for 1M1V. The ability to commit time to DSA work is a privilege that not all our members share. We shouldn't restrict voting to only those privileged members www.groundworkdsa.com/building-up/...

Not everyone in DSA is Marxist, and there is room in the organization for non-Marxist and even anti-Marxist perspectives. I feel this fact goes underappreciated, especially when people treat Marxism and socialism as identical concepts

Wait, wait, you mean to tell me she did it right after the candidate’s stellar performance at a widely televised debate, thus maximizing the political impact of it instead of just doing it when a bunch of people on Twitter wanted it because they were bored? No, no, this makes no sense at all

How do I communicate to the hyperconservative crowd at this baseball game that I’m standing for the anthem in a cool, leftist way

"It is no longer possible to be anti-capitalist simply on ideological grounds. Today, being an anti-capitalist is a precondition simply to make reasonable preparations for humanity's survival" - Jean-Luc Mélenchon

"the immigration officer told me that I was being deported to Mexico. I was so scared and surprised. I told him that I had won my case and showed him the order the judge gave me...I begged him to let me call my attorney but he said it was too late to call anyone now."

Yeah the thing is you can point to shitbags on the left all day long but the furthest left congresspeople are still mostly decent people and the furthest right congresspeople are wannabe genocidaires so the 'both sides' falls flat in practice

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that there's not a non-sexist way to read DSA's interactions with AOC

Fascism came to the US wrapped in an American flag, just like the quote predicted. But, for mostly the same reasons, if socialism ever comes to the US, I’m fully convinced it will need to come wrapped in an American flag too.

Semi-regular reminder that William T Sherman was a genocidal terrorist who deserves nothing but scorn, and is currently in Hell if there is one :)
