At the bottom is the Comrades with Kids NYC-DSA logo featuring a red rose and a small rosebud with green leaves.

Tomorrow I'll be part of a @rootsaction.org teach-in to talk about how U.S. sanctions devastate countries like #Cuba and how we can organize to end them. Come through! teachinnetwork.org/NationalCall

If we want to beat fascism and build 21st century socialism, DSA has to become the mass, democratic, fighting party the moment demands. Sign on and let’s build a DSA for all. 🌹

the art of the deal

Guy who inadvertently released several hundred crickets in his house and then recaptured some of them: "Caught at least 200 crickets in the kitchen. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record."

its interesting the layout of most of america makes mass protest kind of impossible

my kid made a sign for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

A large crowd of protesters marches down a city street lined with tall buildings. At the front, people hold four bright red banners that read "New York City Democratic Socialists of America" with a white torch logo. Many participants wear red ponchos or winter clothing. Behind them, others hold signs including one that says “Stop the Genocide,” another with a face illustration, and others expressing political messages. The protest takes place in Midtown Manhattan, with recognizable buildings and a Starbucks storefront visible.

Tens of Thousands of NYers took the streets today to say “hands off” our federal services!

This Tuesday, join NYC-DSA at the "Kill the Cuts" National Day of Action and stand with workers across the country demanding NO to cuts on our services ➡️ actionnetwork.org/events/kill-...

I talked to Hasan Piker about how isolated the U.S. is in continuing the blockade on #Cuba

What a perfect day for Newsmax to ring the opening bell on the stock exchange.

Can you imagine if Bernie as president had even like 1/10th the effect on the market that Trump is having?

Perhaps the best Zoom message I've ever seen was just now on the DSA "Organize with Zohran & Rashida" event with @rashidatalib.bsky.social talking about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

YouTube video by HasanAbi Archive Interview With Dr. Jose Armando & Danny Valdez On Socialized Medicine

Huge thanks to Hasan for having Dr. Villamarin and me on yesterday. Nowhere else will you hear directly from a veteran of Cuba's medical missions amid all the reporting on the program. And thanks to the Hasanabi Industrial Complex for the edit! youtu.be/Ni_KS7ylObM?...

🚨 I will be joining Hasan Piker's stream today at 6pm ET along with Dr. Jose Villamarin, a Cuban doctor and veteran of Cuba's medical missions to talk about the Trump/Rubio attack on these missions, the wider U.S. blockade, and how @dsacuba.bsky.social is fighting against it!

Finally, I get to talked Hasan's ear off about Cuba

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

Thank you @phara4assembly.bsky.social and @jabaribrisport.bsky.social for rallying volunteers in Fort Greene Park today!

So much happening all across the city every single day: zohranfornyc.com/events

Everyone is saying “Bernie should tell people to join an org” (I agree) when they mean “Bernie should tell people to join DSA” (I also agree) but eliding that Bernie is drawing popular support to an anti-fascist politics that DSA’s national leadership has sidelined us from.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

People love to say this but never ask WHAT shit should be getting done. What has Schiff ever supported that helped improve the lives of the average American?

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Democratic socialism is standing up to Trump.
