Crisis of Petrodollar, with Richard Wolff & Yanis Varoufakis www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAX9...

Even Lincoln, in his day, was more receptive to the plight of labor and its exploitation than any US president today.

Israel has crushed the remaining Palestinian 2.1 million population of Gaza into 50 square miles with virtually no functioning water, sewage or electricity networks. That's about 42,000 per square mile. It looks like this; (Satellite images of Khan Yunis early 2026)

There are estimates that about 3-400 thousand Palestinians have been killed, with only 70 thousand identified so far. Only 1.5-1.6 million remain alive; forced to endure the most degrading humiliations and brutality known to man. And still people argue over whether this constitutes a genocide.

*Losing New York to socialists, facing a wealth tax election in California—our oligarchs begin to suspect that Americans may not like them very much* by Harold Meyerson June 29, 2026 #DSA #EconomicPolicy #Election2026 #Politics #Poverty #socialism #WealthTax prospect.org/2026/06/29/b...

In most places a social democratic candidate will do better against a fascist than a centrist will because social democrats bring an agenda that actually addresses the economic decay that brought the fascists to power in the first place 1/2 bsky.app/profile/gera...

If Democrats nominate another centrist in 2028, it will actually *reduce* our chances to defeat fascism, as it did with Clinton & Harris. Hopefully rising disapproval of the fascist regime would still be enough to defeat them this time. But even if a centrist wins, that would perpetuate Trumpism 2/2

Ironically, progressive candidates are now calling their own proposals "democratic socialism" because the word is no longer unpopular, as explained in this Robert Kuttner piece. Paranoid critics like Chait don't seem to get that bsky.app/profile/gera...

I've decided to post a long thread 🧵 in response to Jonathan Chait's hatchet job on DSA in The Atlantic. I will not be using footnotes or reference citations. It's just my opinion, like any other opinions I post here 1/13

Step 1— Defeat authoritarian nationalism near term with green social democracy Step 2— Simultaneously and for the next three decades build the socialist movement to a social base that can institute *true* socialism Step 3— Display capitalism in museums #SocialistSunday bsky.app/profile/gera...

*Neoliberal capitalism is no longer viable. One direction of change is green social democracy, while another is authoritarian nationalism.

*A socialist strategy should combine a fight for immediate improvements with efforts to move beyond capitalism* by David Kotz - Spring 2021 sfarchive.dsausa.org/issues/sprin...

A shorter workweek and the many other reforms that would come with transition to green social democracy can be achieved well before full socialism. Those reforms are only partial, but much needed, advances until we've built a socialist movement capable of ending capitalism bsky.app/profile/gera...

Many people have been living with neoliberalism for so long now that they can't imagine anything else

Meet Melat Kiros.

We're coming to for the entire Democratic caucus.

Good. We need real change, not more pandering to the right.

*screaming because my team won yet another goal in something so much more important than fucking soccer* YAAAAAASSSSSS

She worked hard for this win and she had a good message. People are desperate for change. They didn’t get Bernie, trumps a disaster, and the corrupt corporate dems aren’t far behind. Thank you to everyone who is willing to take a chance and vote for a leftist

Shouldn't shock anyone to discover that the biggest backers of AI and Crypto are Israeli and Zionist Billionaires. No more conspiracy theories. Just plain old truths.
