BREAKING: Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks just won their union elections. They are the first national parks to unionize in several years.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

🧵DSA must change into something strong enough to meaningfully influence politics on the scale of the next presidential election, potential general strike, and whatever other national ruptures may come. So this convention, we must become a DSA For All. dsaforall.com

"Their goal is to demoralize you. Their goal is to scare you out of action. Their goal is to bully you out of standing up for what is right for the working class of the world. But we are not defeated." National Co-Chair @ahsheek.bsky.social at yesterday's March for Palestine in DC.

$642,000 raised in less than three months. 6,500 donors, 84% from NYC. Potentially up to $3.2 million in matching funds. We're fighting for every New Yorker to live with dignity — a rent freeze, fast free buses, and affordable groceries — and we're just getting started.

NYC, you did it. Not only have we handily qualified for public matching funds but our $642,339 haul from 6,502 donors are the most of any campaign. That means we'll have $3+ million to share our vision for a more affordable city. I am profoundly grateful.

I love my local caucus

real advocates for human rights understand that attacks on abortion and trans health care/safety are interconnected and solidarity between both struggles is paramount for the success of either

So many DSA one on ones

going to keep saying: it's important for basic functioning for a society to discourage baldfaced lying

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

The Build Public Renewables Act gave Gov. Hochul the power to turbocharge the renewable energy transition, lower costs and create thousands of union jobs. At last night's NY Power Authority hearing, we demanded nothing less than 15 GW of public renewable energy by 2030.

reading the anonymized reasons for quitting dsa is so fun….who else gets to be in a pro-hamas zionist organization that endorsed kamala harris but campaigned against voting for her

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

The left urgently needs to identify resonant issues that we can reclaim from the authoritarian right, because they have taken many issues from us.

NEW: Reps. Lee, McGovern, Meeks, Castro, @aoc.bsky.social, @repcasar.bsky.social, and others demand Biden act now on #Cuba. #SendAndEnd: Send aid and END Cuba’s SSOT designation. The stakes couldn’t be higher amid a U.S.-driven humanitarian crisis. bit.ly/leebidencuba...

God i love political education

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need. A few initial thoughts: 🧵

For the first time in history, the Senate will be voting on blocking weapons shipments to Israel. Bernie’s Joint Resolution of Disapproval covers $20 billion of offensive arms sales. Call your senator now and tell them to back Bernie up: jvp.org/stopweapons

I'm reading the ARC for this book and it is SO good. I saw Elene speak at Socialism a few years back, and really appreciate her ability to draw a class analysis through the liberal bullshit of "rescuing" sex workers.
