Democratic Socialists of America has just hit a historic milestone. We're now over 100,000 members strong!

We've laid down the roots, building a mass movement that will bring about the better world we know is possible. Now let's keep building power from the ground up.

its so cool that on the other site a MUG person posted a thread defending their caucus for using an antisemitic term and in the thread used a transphobic slur.

1/ Last year, 32 people died while in federal detention, making it the deadliest year for the agency in more than two decades. Two weeks ago, Renee Good was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Today, Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was killed by federal officers in the same city.

🚨 ICE OUT - NO COLLABORATION!

ICE agents are harassing and detaining workers at D.R. Horton job sites, and the company has remained silent. Today State Rep. Gabriel Sanchez and ATL DSA organizers visited their corporate office in Atlanta to deliver a letter from Minneapolis workers.

Atlanta DSA is entering the most consequential moment in our history. We have to meet this moment. For Atlanta DSA's officer elections, we're running experienced organizers with a record of success leading efforts to build our party, build worker power, and win real change for working people!

A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating:

β€œWe’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it.

β€œWe need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders.

β€œThe administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.”

The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating:
β€œAUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER

β€œTERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD

β€œAUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Whatever this poll means, its clear: Democratic voters don't want the same corporate candidates, they want something new.

You can make any policy sound nice by using buzzwords like β€œaffordable housing” and β€œequity”. But you need to look at the numbers and ask if these projects are actually delivering what they claim. TADs haven’t delivered for Atlantans who need affordable housing most!

Extending gentrifying Atlanta’s tax districts for 25 years makes little sense Atlanta's Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) have run their course and we should find more novel ways to spur prosperity, build housing and assist low-income residents.

@danimmergluck.bsky.social spells it why TAD extension would be so bad for Atlanta. #GApol

This signals to me that a faction of the Black elite has coalesced around the pro-transit, pro-labor left, as opposed to Bond's opponent Courtney Smith, a wealthy, white neighborhood group chair who is married to one of the city's biggest property investors and has wavered on BeltLine Rail.

Ultra-Leftism Won't Help Free Palestine My interview with Bashir Abu-Manneh & Hoda Mitwally on how US activists can more effectively support Palestinians

"To help cut off US arms to Israel we'd have to more frequently work with people who don’t agree with us on everything. More leftists have to leave their comfort zone of being a powerless opposition, protesting on the sidelines, expressing outrage online"

Beware the Centrist Dweebs Trying to Ape Zohran Mamdani All over the country, young Democratic candidates are running seemingly Mamdani-style campaigns. But check the fine print.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful.
