i don’t know tools what she used to draft this, but tricia geiger’s platform for her campaign against UAW president shawn fain does have a certain “not just x—but y” authorial style that feels,,, familiar

happy 2 year hrt-iversary to me💖 📸 @fionasgotit.bsky.social

In Sikh culture, when the racists started attacking us because they thought we were Muslims, we didn’t correct them and say we were Sikhs because the point is it shouldn’t happen to anyone. As a cis woman, I do not correct someone attacking me because they think I am trans for the same reason.

A Black trans woman was murdered in the Houston area earlier this week. Now we know her name. Rest in power, Persia Amarra Conway. The graphic was posted by her mother on Facebook yesterday.

had a great time knocking doors in Ridgewood today for democratic socialist & my UAW 2320 brother @david4queens.com 🌹🤝

Out with a full crew for us, Aber Kawas, and @claireforny.bsky.social hitting doors from Ridgewood to Ozone Park today! The energy is incredible, but the message from each of our neighbors is clear: we can't afford to wait for a more affordable city.

i disagree with this pretty strongly. democracy is the lifeblood of the left—unions and socialist orgs only thrive if they’re responsive to & run by members. we don’t need to debate just for spectacle, but functioning democracy requires space for open, honest disagreement & engagement.

“less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett” could go into a textbook on the overlap between transmisogyny and misogynoir

I went to the "Transparency in Mass State legislature" debate between my state rep Marjorie Decker and the challenger @evanforcambridge.bsky.social It was a disaster for rep Decker: - she had nothing to say to defend her votes to keep votes secret, cut taxes on the super rich, ignore will of voters

will be in new york canvassing for her* this weekend🫡 * & claire & conrad & david

NEW REPORT: After Chicago shut down ShotSpotter in Sept. 2024, CPD response times to priority 1 calls improved by an average of 4.2 minutes. Read more here: uchicago-justice-project.github.io/chicago_crim...

there are a lot of wonderful things about being trans that i wouldn’t trade for the world, but the neverending stream of headlines about our sisters’ suspicious deaths is really hard to take. i don’t have anything more profound to say about this right now. i’m just tired.

Today marks six years since the Minneapolis Police Department murdered George Floyd, sparking a nationwide uprising against white supremacy and the police.

This was a triumph of organizing. Over two City Council hearings, almost 60 people spoke up against ShotSpotter. Their testimonies capped off years of tireless advocacy from a broad coalition including The Black Response, Digital Fourth, SURJ Boston, Cambridge for Palestine, and Cambridge DSA.

my general view on this is that attempts to do procedural radicalism from the left without attacking the constitutional framework are essentially doomed to failure in the medium & long terms. this piece is from 2021 but lays out the argument well

they built the machine that made lucius quit wayne enterprises

Boston DSA's annual convention is next week, where member will decide the direction of the organization in the months to come! Read our thoughts and recommendations on the proposed resolutions, bylaw amendments, and leadership elections: open.substack.com/pub/bostonmu...

i was honored and heartbroken to speak at last night’s vigil in Boston for Eryka Caldwell and Juniper Blessing, two of my trans sisters who were taken from this world too soon

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.

I understand the point being made in this thread but speaking as a trans woman living in Florida who's spent several years trying to find somewhere safe and affordable I can flee to the Democrats have abandoned us. They may not be actively dismantling rights like Labour but they aren't stopping it.

it’s genuine journalistic malpractice to frame the declining birth rate as about the job market or girlbossing or whatever when it is almost entirely driven by the decline of teen pregnancy

you should view axios foreign affairs reporting on Official U.S. Enemies in 2026 as comparable to NYT reporting on iraq in 2002

yet another report about a cop “accidentally” ODing on fentanyl, yet another news outlet who refuses to say plainly that ODing just by touching fentanyl is impossible

i know we’re in a saturated media environment but zionists paid Trump to pardon a right wing leader so he could attack leftist governments across latin america i can’t believe this story hasn’t broken through

okay i don’t love the “revival” piece here but AOC going all in on finishing reconstruction would be a great sign for a presidential campaign

this is true, and we in the U.S. also have an obligation to oppose our federal government’s regime change blockade of Cuba i’m proud that Cambridge took a stand here after pressure from organizers—this was the sort of DSA x PSL collaboration i’d love to see more

conservatives finally found the one thing they think hospitals should do for free

depraved. no one ever has issues with a rich person paying bail, but our government can’t stomach the idea that some poor people might not rot in jail pre-trial

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

i’ve been looking for an apartment and this sort of language is everywhere, it’s ridiculous. it almost feels like they’re mocking us

this lawsuit is specifically happening because Texas refuses to stop discriminating against pregnant workers

happening today!!

“we demand our institutions push back on the violence done in our names. With Congress non-responsive, that duty falls to the representative Cambridge City Council” i wrote about why the Council must represent Cambridge residents’ views against the Cuba blockade working-mass.com/2026/05/08/o...

MA has one of the few full time legislatures in the country, but its dirty little secret is that, while the formal salary is bad for any decent professional work, leadership gives over half the legislature “leadership stipends”, meaning you get paid more than twice as much if leadership likes you

“industry personnel” is a really horrifying phrase in context

idk how quantifiable any of this is but i do know law belongs in the top left corner

there will be some outgoing law students who are tempted to take a Trump DOJ job even if they aren’t ideologically conservative because it’s traditionally a prestigious job they couldn’t get. dem presidential hopefuls should make it clear that they’ll fire anyone who signs up to help Trump.

United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain testifying in favor of a 32-hour workweek. "Eighty-four years ago the 40-hour workweek was established. And since then, we've had a 400 percent increase in productivity, and nothing's changed."

extensive new reporting here on the ties between harvard, epstein, and larry summers, and the efforts to cover them up. it comes as harvard’s grad workers are on strike, fighting for real recourse for workplace harassment

i am ready to be hurt

i know for a fact this woman is a legend for tenants’ rights lawyers

Breaking: A local LGBTQ group has constructed an art installation depicting Baystate Medical System running over trans kids after Baystate decided to cut off gender affirming care for youth in Western Mass. Springfield, MA:

the internet was literally my only lifeline when i was a queer teenager living with unsupportive, unaccepting family. if this shit passed when i was that age, it would have cut that one lifeline from me. it sickens me that this even passed the house in a state that claims to support queer ppl.

Ignoring objections from a wide spectrum of community members, LGBTQ+ advocates, and digital privacy experts, my opponent Rep Marjorie Decker voted for this bill. We need representatives who bring our communities into the decision-making process on decisions that affect us all.

“a pol’s decisions are gossip items to some, life structuring social factors to others” this is, i think, also a nice succinct explanation for the cis “blue no matter who” dems who are eager to find excuses for newsom, ossoff, et al

in the war between geese and cars, i know what side i’m on
