Join DSA. Become a member today. Democratic socialists have an historic opportunity and responsibility to play a central role in continuing the political revolution for the long term. As a democratic, grassroots organization, DSA is ...

OK enough with the insincere trollingโ€” look if you're angry and want to help the largest socialist organization in the country produce more Mamdanis or AOCs or Tlaibs or whatever then sign up.

These are the most annoying people on the planet but they know how to phonebank and doorknock.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary โ€œRovinaโ€™s Choiceโ€ tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

As the face of the โ€œprogressive prosecutorโ€ movement steamrolls to a 3rd term, let me be the millionth person to note that when that movement loses elections itโ€™s billed in national media as a crisis for the left, while the movementโ€™s high points, of which there have been many, are largely ignored.

Zohran Mamdani won the primary by double digits. Eric Adams squeaked by with 0.8% and we had to suffer endless thinkpieces on why his conservative center-right politics was the "real future" of the Democratic party.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say itโ€™s a total mandate
