New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

The Trump Administration is lying about Cuba again: full statement in English and Spanish here. www.dsausa.org/statements/t...

Hundreds of Starbucks stores have unionized. Workers have faced firings, store closures and a massive union-busting campaign. But @sbworkersunited.org is still organizing, and @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reports, they're still fighting for a first contract.

Useful to remember that politics is mostly a zero-sum struggle between the power of the state and the power of capital, and tax cuts help capital win. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/state-powe...

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.

“Some of these guys work jobs that are eleven-and-a-half hours long. They do four round trips, six round trips. They’re going back and forth like a pinball with barely time to eat or piss.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/on-the-lir...

ICE use of Palantir systems now means agency officials effectively have a list of 20 million people readily accessible on their iPhones, increasing the speed at which ICE can find houses to raid and people to arrest. www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

Elites desperately searching for a moral indulgence to cleanse them of the taint of their own elitism are unwilling to reckon with the true meaning of being "out of touch," because it offers no balm for their rotted souls. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/who-is-out...

Testosterone poisoning is a force that gives us meaning. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/everybody-...

It’s cool how the most powerful person in the country is a decomposing 79-year-old

🚨 We've got just 10 days left to push @chrisrabb over the line and send another socialist to Congress🚨 Join us for a confidential campaign update with Rep. Rabb and State Senator @NikilSaval, for DSA members only, this Tues. 5/12 @ 9 PM ET 🤫 RSVP and join DSA links below ⬇️

Hello, it’s me in @nytopinion.nytimes.com The Democratic Party is historically unpopular & hemorrhaging working class voters. Focusing on the issue of climate change —an issue mainly impt to their educated/affluent base—is not a way to reverse this. This marks the end of an era. 👇

Holy shit. We hit our first goal in 6 hours. I’m speechless. This will still cost a fortune but I feel like I can breathe a little for the first time in weeks. I can’t thank all of you enough. I don’t know how much we’ll be able to raise but oh my god, thank you.

Building on yesterday's call by DSA leaders for a "Left-Labor Presidential Candidate in 2028," I thought through some of the practical challenges here. ("Uniting labor around anything," for one.) Not a bad idea! But not easy. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-tricky...

🚨 White House unveils pre-crime strategy to target the left, including pro-Palestinian protesters, "anti-Fascists," and "anti-American, radically pro-transgender ideologies." Full document: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/insane-pre...

had a wonderful time talking to @bcmerchant.bsky.social about why and how people destroy surveillance & AI instrastructure as political and economic protest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z4k...

Happy birthday, Karl Marx! Marx was born on this day 208 years ago. His work helps us not only understand capitalism but fight for a world free of exploitation and domination.

Andrea Pedro-Francisco, detained by ICE in Minneapolis and being denied life-saving surgery, is running out of time. Her next hearing is May 20th so the request is to have letters/emails sent by May 15.

If every angry American and yammering political pundit took one day off to go to the May Day march it would make America happier and our political punditry less stupid, as well. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/vibe-to-he...

EMERGENCY UPDATE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exu1...

Countless influencers and quack positive-thinking gurus tell us that success is all a matter of individual effort. International Workers’ Day reminds us that individuals are happiest when we have others standing alongside us.12

The protest organizers are calling for a boycott of work, school and shopping to protest Trump administration policies and what activists describe as a billionaire takeover of government. n.pr/3QLJMh2

MAY DAY MASS CALL: On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping. Join us.

Radical bookstores don’t just sell books. In Chicago, Baltimore, and beyond, they host book clubs, training sessions, meetings, jail support work, and organizing that can shape entire movements. New from @leftiecowboy.bsky.social

The Ramones’ legendary self-titled debut celebrates its 50th anniversary this month. More than the blueprint for later political punk, the record spoke for those the system had already forgotten.

How Things Work is three years old this week. It's not the most important thing in the world but it is nice to know that it is possible to build sustainable independent media in 2026. If you're a subscriber, thank you for keeping hope alive. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/three-year...

FRIDAY: Workers, students, and families will be calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop as part of the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can help make a difference on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

With the launch of the Union Now fund earlier this month, the American labor movement gained its first centralized strike fund. It will be a national clearinghouse to get money directly into the hands of workers.

Mamdani is framing his still-fresh tenure not only as a measure of his ability to govern but as a sign that the ideology of democratic socialism can work in practice, not just in theory. https://bit.ly/4vAJyJx

Happy Earth Day! Thanks to our comrades who helped us Restore Moorhead this past weekend at Gooseberry Park. #earthday #dsa

The FBI has long tried to destroy socialist organizations, but its actions aren't limited to surveillance. In the 60s and 70s, informants were key — even at the top levels of left groups.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

The U.S. Senate plans to vote Thursday on a move to undo a 20-year moratorium on mining on a huge swath of federal land near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

“We are collateral damage.” - Mark Graham, Wayback Machine When preservation is caught in the crossfire, it’s not just libraries that lose—it’s the public’s access to history, knowledge, and truth. The web shouldn’t disappear behind closed doors. ➡️ www.sfexaminer.com/news/technol...

Hello Bluesky. Does anyone like... Unions? #UnionNow act.berniesanders.com/signup/rsvp-...

Join us for our Socialist Social at Brewhalla (Fargo) today, 2:30 pm!

There's an important new group launching tomorrow, that will channel money directly into building union power. We're having a big ass launch rally in Manhattan tomorrow with Bernie, Zohran, Sara Nelson, and a bunch of union people and you should come. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/how-to-put...

The Trump administration is using its newly approved DHS budget to increase immigrant detention across the country. But communities all over the country are fighting back to prevent warehouses from being purchased, including wins in Kansas City & Salt Lake City. 1/2

"This morning, Donald Trump threatened that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." As many of us file our taxes this week, we are more aware than ever that it is our tax dollars which fund this genocidal war, and it is our responsibility to stop it in its tracks. 🧵

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Due to weather the FM meeting will be virtual today & our Brewhalla social bumped to 4/11. A Zoom link has been sent out via email/Signal, please reach out if you have issues. The Grand Forks meeting is still meeting in person at the usual place & time, with a virtual option available as well.

Forum Communications, which owns newspapers and TV stations throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana and both Dakotas, parted ways last week with left-leaning columnists. In Fargo, protesters expressed their disappointment with the paper, which many of them had been reading their entire lives.

NEW: Thomson Reuters, the media company which is also a data broker, has long provided personal data for ICE tools, according to documents obtained by 404 Media and sources. There are also indications its data is now part of the Palantir system ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target.

Suno is producing 7M AI songs per day. Streaming services are being flooded with AI slop, diluting the revenue pool and further decreasing payouts for artists. We need the Living Wage for Musicians Act! The new, additional LWMA royalty would only be available to human musicians.
