Americans, better start practicing your sieg heil salutes to Supreme Leader. It’s 1938 again. Btw, you fell over like a house of cards. Wasnt even a challenge for Trump. Afterwards you’ll all say you didn’t want it, not you, but now you’ll do absolutely nothing to stop it.

Correction, fuzzy memory... just NAM. Big debates in our Milwaukee group over whether to trust the merger w DSOC.....
My own trajectory was Milwaukee CP fellow traveller, Wisconsin Alliance, w roots in the Catholic Worker.

Both, in reverse order....

Great win for Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral primary.
Important step forward for a Democratic Left, and for the Democratic Socialists of America.
Solidarity from a 1970s DSA member

Once again, the US is on the dark side of world affairs--from Vietnam to Central America to Iraq and now Iran (this time is a genocidal alliance with Zionist Israel) imperialist power and war is chosen over justice and peace.
Stop the bombing.
Stop all support of Israel.
Justice and peace now.

I’m not sharing this ironically. It shakes me to my bones right now.

Trump just attacked Iran. A few immediate reactions.

First off, as a U.S citizen, I'm simply appalled by Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization in violation of law and the constitution. Just because it's not surprising doesn't make it any less dreadful. (1/n)

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Canada also has universal pre-k and an average college tuition of $7.3k/year

And in a progressive taxation system, the higher taxes help keep inequality broadly lower

Okay - but Americans' higher take-home pay brings them more happiness, right?

Nope...

Vice President JD Vance says universities are racially discriminating against whites and Asians Vance’s claims about racial “discrimination” on college campuses come as the Trump administration escalates its political battles with universities over

This is how white supremacist narratives work. This claim has been litigated repeatedly and proven to be NOT TRUE. But they “feel it.” You can’t disprove it. The Lost Cause.
Reverse Discrimination.
Welfare Queens.

The whole thing survives on myths.

Here's to the Otters of the Mulcair River in Limerick!

Read the letter, if you can. It's thoughtful, and thought out.

'Indiscriminate, Unrestrained, Brutal': Former Israeli PM Calls Gaza Assault 'War Crimes' "What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination," former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert wrote in an op-ed aimed at Israeli citizens.

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” [former Prime Minister Olmert] said."

Land Of Hope & Dreams Bruce Springsteen · Album · 2025 · 6 songs

In my utopia and music projects I never got around to tackling a rock and popular music one. Springsteen is the man of the moment. Let him stand for all my rock'n'roll heroes, especially with his concluding number: Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom".

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

Exterior shot of two dozen people in black holding or standing by photographs of kidnapped, detained, and self deported students whose only crime was…expressing constitutionality protected speech.

Columbia faculty held our weekly vigil and we will continue until all our students are home.

Honestly, I'm shocked. Fantastic news and hopefully it gets expanded

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

So campus speech. Much viewpoint diversity. Very marketplace of ideas.

We’re always just one election away from this happening in Wisconsin as well.

Every accusation from the far right authoritarian party is a confession.
