Presumably musk is too stupid to know this but there of course once was an β€œAmerican Party,” it was our first party whose only platform was hating immigrants and the Catholic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_No...

Here’s how Zohran Mamdani’s 50K-strong volunteer army pulled it off An interview with Tascha Van Auken, field director for Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign.

Zohran field director and founding SMC member Tascha Van Auken talked to @petersterne.com about how NYC-DSA built a mass movement of organizers and volunteers that won a commanding victory last Tuesday.

FYI this is the updated flier being for Saturday’s No King’s Day protest in NYC.

Regardless, I think it is important for socialists to not sneer at liberals who are willing to go outside of their homes and fight back. That level of action and courage is far greater than many extremely online DSA members and we need to rapidly increase our organizing capacity if we want to win

I think we are talking past each other. I have not seen protests that won’t let other orgs organize in them

We are much better organizers than indivisible and we have a responsibility to move the majorities outraged and appalled by Trump to the left. We literally don’t have time to wait

There could be many more instances of conflict like this if national DSA got involved!

NYC-DSA worked with labor for the big 3/15 rally in NYC. Right now thousands of people are outraged by what is happening and are going into the streets. They need our leadership!

This is not a hypothetical, there are comrades in other left orgs successfully changing the character of these protests.

β€œJust 18 years old but already a canvassing veteran”—and a member of DSA and Socialist Majority!

Here's how Dylan and a first-time canvasser won over a rent-stabilized tenant for Zohran Mamdani:

The sectarian idea that majorities of the working class are eager to follow their leadership if they say the correct radical phrases is a perfect echo of Schumer’s insistence that in a true crisis the masses would spontaneously take to the streets. Both are liberal fantasies, not mass politics

Nothing like getting laid off right before the holidays when your wife is 38 weeks pregnant to remind you how antisocial and disgusting capitalism is.

It’s because she uses the little red guards at Oberlin college to terrorize the northern Ohioan peasantry into accepting her rule

As of 12:15 p.m., about 150 school buildings had reported flooding, the chancellor said, while at least one Brooklyn school was required to evacuate to another nearby school because of a β€œsmoking boiler.”

Still, Mr. Banks said, β€œnothing has impacted the ability for us to safely educate our students in any of those schools.”

you (bad attitude, stupid): this is an environmental disaster
me (wise, beacon of positivity): this is an educational opportunity

He has a point though. Traditionally firefighters commemorate their fallen comrades by getting blackout drunk at 8am on 9/11. Having a meeting on this day necessarily excludes the bravest members of the working class.
