I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

even before he pointed at his chest & said "This polo shirt I'm wearing that says Eric Adams, Mayor of the City of New York? I'm going to wear that for another 4 years," I thought, is there like a city agency tasked with embroidering the mayor's name? but of course there isn't

This week’s convention must prioritize debate & discussion on the major questions facing us: trans rights, Palestine, youth organizing, the climate crisis & fighting Trump. That’s why we’re proposing this agenda change. Sign your name in support! docs.google.com/forms/d/1V-0...

Bro, just one more humanoid robot, bro please, this one will be the true general purpose technology bro, this one will fill any labor shortage bro, our nanas and papas will let them into their homes to help them age in place bro, it’s the future bro, I won’t put guns on them I swear bro, bro

Musk can't run a third party. At least not without these clothes made from the finest silks that only the worthy can see.

very funny that some of the same people who spent years calling anyone sympathetic to BLM a “racial essentialist” are now up in arms that a ugandan-born south asian man would describe himself as african and asian because, of course, you can only choose one

this is why I have always believed in my heart that JKR should have been deplatformed for stochastic terrorism in 2021 when Trump was. she really helped normalize the idea that there was a “feminist” case for transphobia and how to frame it as a defense of women and girls. may her soul rot

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

it is wild how many non-trans people seem to be taking an issue with this extremely correct thread: transphobia was an extreme minority position that was isolated to fringe reactionary christian conservatives, but through "liberal" publications laundering bigoted talking points it became accepted

I do not want to hear a Democrat say the word “bipartisan” in a positive manner ever again

The pro-Mamdani anti-Mamdani split is another one of those that’s not really left vs center but rather more like on the level of having principles or not

they made jamelle delete an accurate criticism but allowed a news-side guy to spend all day openly sneering and spitting in the faces of people who accurately noted that his story allowed a guy who spread CSAM without rebuttal to spout lies

This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.

For reference the New York Times was among the outlets that declined to publish hacked materials from the 2024 Trump campaign www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/m...

Now with a slippery update:

worth noting the pipeline here: * Trump-supporting anons hack Columbia data * Nazi twitter accounts dig around in the data * NYT picks up on Nazi substack posts, publishes Zohran story to damage his campaign * Chris Rufo immediately boosting the story

Trying to think about how to explain this to 24 year old me.

just as centrist pundits once trekked to red-state diners to seek answers for trump’s rise, they must now do the equivalent for mamdani: join an illegal polycule sublet in the mckibbin lofts

Last but not least, if you’re not a DSA member, join today! dsausa.org/join. And if you are a DSA member, join Socialist Majority for more electoral wins like these! airtable.com/appflgA838zL...

DSA needs to build capacity so every chapter can run campaigns like this one. Our platform for the 2025 DSA Convention lays out a clear vision for how to build our mass movement and keep winning. Join us on Sunday 7/6 @ 4 PT/7 ET to meet our NPC candidates! bit.ly/SMCslate2025

To tireless SMC members who helped lead the charge, from comms director Andrew E. and field director Tascha V., to NYC-DSA co-chair Grace M. and EWG leaders Alvaro L. and Maeve A., to field leads like Magdalena M., to every member who knocked a door, thank you for your work!

We also want to congratulate our NYC SMC comrades. Canvass by canvass, they helped build the foundation for this win through NYC-DSA’s electoral project over the past 8 years. Popular, winnable, socialist campaigns on the Democratic line are a core part of our theory of change.

We particularly want to congratulate each volunteer that brought this campaign to victory. Zohran ran on the crisis of affordability all working-class New Yorkers face and laid out a positive vision for change, leaving no one behind, and the mass movement behind him reflects that.

It was a huge night of wins for DSA across NYS—nationally endorsed candidates (and SMCers!) @danielatonna.bsky.social and @jorgedefendini.bsky.social also won their Democratic primaries with ithacadsa.bsky.social and @mhvdsa.bsky.social, running as proud democratic socialists

SMC congratulates @socialists.nyc and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on their amazing victory in the Democratic primary. This win shows the value of a clear, popular, socialist platform that speaks to working people, and that organizing and mass movements are the keys to victory.

if the progressive alliance of mayoral candidates teamed up for a heist to break Brad Lander out of prison there's one thing we can all agree on: Zellnor Myrie would be the computer guy

Hearing from sources that a new NYC mayoral race poll is about to drop showing Zohran Mamdani clinching the No. 1 spot from Andrew Cuomo for the first time.

i just want democrats to hate republicans as much I hate them and as much as they hate us

my undying fealty to the very first candidate that promises revenge

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Ethic cleansing & genocide on a massive scale, but the “director of Rapid Response” for the losing campaign that repeatedly refused to engage with communities advocating for a better outcome on this very issue is trying to get a dunk in.

What a nightmare. Brain dead when 9 weeks pregnant but because of GA, law kept on life support, against family's wishes, until fetus is viable. So far: @ 21 weeks. Via @ajc.com.

Trenchant analysis of Kamala Harris' "Sports Bathroom"-themed convention

i like how roberts even looks a bit like tim robinson in the hot dog sketch www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

And as soon as Democrats stopped flying to the gulag and everyone stopped talking about it, Trump’s immigration numbers started climbing back up

Matt Yglesias endorses the theory that men are naturally more inclined toward extreme intelligence over on the other site.

feel like looking at the last election that killed a party is instructive if the equivalent of 1852 happened to the dems: -kamala wouldve received only 77 electoral votes -had their house caucuse reduced to 130 -only have 29 senate seats you also wouldn't see them sweeping special elections

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps insisting it’s safe to fly out of Newark Airport, despite alarming outages and worker shortages. But Duffy now admits he personally changed a flight for his wife so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark. gizmodo.com/transportati...

if the cops arrest you during a traffic stop they're allowed to tow your car (and then search it before impounding it) bc it's recognized you can't safely leave a car on the street unattended.

I know I’m beating a dead horse on this lately, but pundits and consultants who argue for this stuff are actually just arguing that politicians should cater to the views that *they* hold, which they believe are uniquely reasonable and universal. Actual swing voters have mostly incoherent politics!
