I had many appointments on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. this week, where I discussed the @rosaluxnyc.bsky.social's work, made new contacts, and refreshed existing ones. I'll be back in December!

She Fights Fascism in the Place Where It’s Scariest. Here’s What She Has Learned. Yes, they call her the “TikTok queen,” but Heidi Reichinnek insists there’s a far more important secret to her success.

In an interview with @slate.com @heidireichinnek.dielinkebt.de insists that her country’s far-right lurch is not irreversible, and she thinks the lessons her party has learned are applicable to the United States’ own fight against authoritarianism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

We had @heidireichinnek.dielinkebt.de from @dielinkebt.de over here @rosaluxnyc.bsky.social. And @slate.com talked to her.

"When we look for solutions, we need to go back to our roots."
Ibrahim Atiam, from Senegal, reminds us that this is not only a climate crisis - but a crisis of values.
For him, answers come from the ground: from communities, from collective knowledge, from the roots that sustain life and resistance.

David Williams, from the International Climate Justice Program of the @rosaluxglobal.bsky.social, lays out the core of the debate on climate finance at @cop30brazil.bsky.social

The New York portion of the trip concluded with interviews for @slate.com and ARD New York. The strong media interest demonstrates the increased relevance of the German Left and simultaneously offered the opportunity to disseminate its progressive political agenda internationally.

At an event hosted by @dissentmag.bsky.social and @versobooks.bsky.social, Reichinnek spoke with journalists @lukashermsmeier.bsky.social and Ross Barkan about left-wing electoral successes.

A central appointment was the conversation with Jeremy Cohan (National Political Committee, @demsocialists.bsky.social), who was active in Mamdani's campaign.

We discussed Germany's role in the world with Germany's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ricklef Beutin, and Michael Geisler. @new-york-un.diplo.de

During the meeting with the editorial team of the progressive magazine @thenation.com, we discussed the decisive role of independent media and left-wing journalism in a polarized political landscape.

At a dinner, Reichinnek spoke with former Mayor @billdeblasionyc.bsky.social and John Nichols (The Nation) about left-wing governance, Mamdani's election victory, and affordable housing. De Blasio suggested that free buses could be Mamdani's first implemented promise.

A conversation with Alison Macrina (Library Freedom Project) and Emily Drabinski (former President of the American Library Association) addressed the alarming increase in Book Bans and the threat to freedom of information in the USA.

@heidireichinnek.dielinkebt.de, Co-Chair of @dielinkebt.de (The Left) in the Bundestag (German Parliament), visited New York City following @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's historic election. Some of her appointments included 🧵

This is happening tonight, @heidireichinnek.dielinkebt.de talks to @lukashermsmeier.bsky.social and Ross Barkan. Drop by if you are in NYC!

New Poll: Democratic Socialism Is Now Mainstream A national poll from Jacobin, DSA Fund, and Data for Progress finds broad support for democratic socialist leaders and left-wing policies.

“These results tell a clear story: democratic socialism is now mainstream. Far from a liability, the ‘democratic socialist’ label is now how voters recognize a leader who they can trust to fight for them.” -Gabe Tobias (DSA Fund executive director) 6/7

Candidates who identify as democratic socialists are viewed just as favorably (+69) among registered Democrats as candidates who identify only as Democrats (+67). 5/7

Democrats prefer left-wing political figures similar to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and Zohran Mamdani over establishment politicians similar to Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Nancy Pelosi by a 20 point margin. 4/7

Democrats prefer democratic socialism to capitalism by a 58 point margin. Socialism wins overall with likely voters under forty-five years old. 3/7

A new national survey commissioned by DSA Fund and @jacobinmag.bsky.social, with support from us, and fielded by @dataforprogress.org takes stock of where democratic socialism stands with the electorate - and what it would take to build stable, working-class majorities beyond deep-blue districts.2/7

Zohran Mamdani beat the odds.
And new polling shows there is a political opening for other socialist candidates, too.
