There are almost no actual anti-electoralists in DSA. Every single faction in national leadership supports running at least some electoral campaigns and all but *maybe* one want to run a candidate for president in 2028.

Israel said Hamas was looting aid β€” then it armed the gangs who were actually stealing it By Middle East correspondent Eric Tlozek and ChΓ©rine Yazbeck Topic:Crime Sun 13 Jul

Israel claimed Hamas was stealing aid but actually armed the gangs that were stealing it to β€œcombat Hamas” and then blamed Hamas and the UN. The UN says it can’t deliver aid because between Israeli attacks and those of the Israeli-armed gangs, it’s too unsafe. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

the degree to which Zionism is a protected ideology in the west while Gaza suffers from mass starvation is one of those things that can, and probably should, completely break your brain

Yesterday, in a vote of 221 to 209, Congress approved a staggering $831.5 billion to the Pentagon.

This will be used to fund militarism abroad and Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, instead of the services and protections that working people desperately need.
