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.

Lol

Kids these days have returned to a dark age conception of truth, upon which they just believe whatever bullshit they read, according to this bullshit I just read

Islamophobia is completely permissible in America.

When Omar El Akkad talked about this kind of position in “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” the examples of people saying “you can only speak out about an atrocity when it’s too late to stop it” were a lot less explicit

In practice, theory matters.

Wonder if anyone will recognize this as a reverse Sister Souljah moment. Democrats love nothing more than an opportunity to tell their radicals to shut the fuck up. Republicans? Here's your reward from us, the GOP, xoxoxo

this has got to be the worst time in american history to make the totally sensible and correct argument that we should pay people in congress more than we do

President is Kessler Syndrome posting, very good

there is, once again, no one for whom Trump has more contempt than his supporters. he could not be clearer that he hates them and they love it.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

Every time I consider voting for Tom Steyer for governor a tiny voice in my head says “but why hasn’t he served in any local political offices” and I am again filled with white-hot rage at how every white guy wants to Do Politics but only if he likes the job title.

reciting this with my children before hopping in my F-150 Raptor and taking the long way to Applebee’s to avoid the street where last week my cousin saw an “ethnic”

A great thing to have would be less flagrantly racist leadership in the Democratic Party

Adorno writes somewhere that it is the goal of the culture industry to turn adults into twelve year olds. I am beginning to think it has succeeded.

Guys. The Ancient Greeks weren't white. They were more like cephalopods than modern humans -- their skin was bioluminescent and constantly shifting its color. And they didn't live in in idyllic seaside villages; they could only survive near deep-ocean vents. They DID have Matt Damon accents, though

There are so many Black self-liberation stories like this - just the coolest shit anyone’s done & I truly believe that if America liked stories of revolutionaries or rebels defeating elites as much as we used to act like we do we would have mined these types of stories more for film & television.

this is what Third Way's Hasan thing is about beyond general racism

zohran mamdani became mayor of new york city against all odds by demonstrating how much he absolutely loves new york and wants it to thrive for everyone spencer pratt's campaign is the exact opposite: showing how much he hates l.a. and the people who live there, who he clearly wants to purge

Ah well. Hope Luka’s hamstring doesn’t become a recurring thing. I want Bron back. I want Rui back. I want Smart back. I want Kennard to shoot the damn ball. There’s a bunch of dead weight on that team that can leave. The Lakers overall demonstrated proof of concept.

lakers in 7

"upper middle class" bitch idk what you think that means but it does not mean "second home in manhattan"

Something I've been thinking about is kinda a one sentence description of a left-wing economic vision for America and I think it's "a life of leisure and luxury for Americans, with no servants and no slaves."

Radical abolitionist John Brown was born on this day in 1800. “I acknowledge no master in human form.”

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Red states: we’re gonna attack academics for caring about truth Blue states: we’re gonna attack the same academics, but for not supporting the business school

though frequently disqualified, clown college actually has a very good baseball team

"Hindsight"

Every journalist on earth is just a foot soldier in a weird psychosexual argument between six rich people at an orgy.

We're almost up to three decades of self-serious, shoot and cry, post-9/11 movies about how warfare makes the Operators sad but they have to be the Shepherds guarding the Sheep from the Wolves with overly aggressive colour-grading so you know exactly what to feel in any given scene.

Aligning with the political left means that the odds are against you because you choose to side with those historically deprived of power. By definition, that means that defeatism is never an option. The fight continues as it must, across generations. It is good to be part of the fight.

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

Has anyone Known The Score as consistently and vigorously as this guy?

This guy sucks so bad and has no constituency outside of Matt Yglesias types so we unfortunately will have to endure 9000 articles about why he is great before he drops out at 4% in the primary

gotta hand it to the fates for giving us a "vote blue no matter who" that pisses all factions off

There's an awful Catch-22 here: people aren't going to be politically effective while they are selfish/authoritarian/sadistic etc., but those are exactly the personality traits that are endemic under capitalism...

thinking about the rod dreher illusion in light of the tucker carlson news. these guys only have the appearance of popularity because of a small number of rich patrons behind the scenes. they’re loud, they’re everywhere, but their ideas aren’t as popular as they’re made to appear.

the onion's called shot will end up being true no matter what

The thing about being friends with actual Marxist Leninists is that they take their politics seriously and don't do shit like this because they want their politics to be taken seriously.

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

American workers had like 2 years of almost catching up and we will be getting punished for the rest of my life as the planet slides toward unliveable. It's all very cool.

Americans hate big corporations and worship individual rich people

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."
