bipartisan collaboration on tying all blame regarding the war to one man & then ousting him while keeping the war

Dems, like keir, won’t try to triangulate what’s popular & effective.
they’ll try to triangulate what’s popular & inoffensive to the owning class, land on nothing of substance, & fail.
it’s up to socialists to differentiate themselves from the dems & offer a real alternative.
I have almost no doubt that we're about to see American Starmerism. Like Labour, the Democrats will try to triangulate what's popular and what's effective, fail miserably, and lose high-info voters with their insincerity + low-info with the mediocre results of their leadership

Trump:
I could have won the Vietnam War in a week.
They kept bombing forests for years instead of going after Ho Chi Minh City.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon during the war. It was the capital of South Vietnam, the US ally, and was renamed only in 1976. The US did repeatedly bomb North Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, including the 1972 Christmas bombing.

My entire adult life has been defined by the fallout of the financial crash and the nearly 20 years of austerity that followed, and you're telling me THOSE were the salad days???

Democrat campaign ads in 2026: Listen, I'm a registered Republican. I love America. I hate transgender. But I'm running as a Democrat this election to teach Trump and his cronies: They Not Like Us.

The more DSA grows from liberals joining, the more important political education and member standards are going to become. Anyone is welcome to join and learn, but talented organizers will not stay if half of DSA are liberals who won’t commit to basic socialist principles.
it’s so funny to me when “abundance” types post in the language of progressive concern trolling when their intended solution is like “we should imprison every homeless person”
Letting people with severe mental illness and addiction rot and die on the street and completely dominate the public realm is not a progressive ideal. The families that rely on transit, libraries, parks and streets deserve safe, clean, comfortable, corpse free spaces.

The problem has always been deeper than Nithya. The entire DSA caucus in LA has endorsed Bass, INCLUDING NITHYA.
DSA-LA has no power over these candidates and are taking massive risks with the DSA project that will define the organization by the whims of a consistent op who brags to our enemies about being independent from us and not agreeing with our program.

NEW: Unions opposing California’s billionaire tax face revolt from their own locals, including teachers in SF + LA + various building trades
“A few staff people have lent their organizations’ logos to the billionaires,” said Suzanne Jimenez of SEIU-UHW

ts is genuinely so embarrassing what are we doing
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.
Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN
this article is very illustrative of the limited imagination & lack of revolutionary thought among the right-“socialist” millennial crowd.
like we’re gonna put the U.S. government in charge of literally a “reserve army of labor” ?? and you think that this will empower workers??
One of the most radical institutions in America, abandoned since the Vietnam War, is exclusively deployed in service to imperialism: universal conscription. But what if we turned that same model inward towards the tasks of liberation? Drawing on his experience as a college professor and West Point graduate, Cyrus Cappo argues for a mandatory National Public Service Corps—a radical project to rebuild infrastructure, integrate alienated youth, and hand real leverage back to the working class.

Under Trump the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights is ignoring reports of sexual assault on campus so they can instead focus on transgender athletes. They are "protecting women and girls" while actively abiding reports of rape.
Trump’s Education Department has not made public all its civil rights investigations at schools and colleges.
So @propublica sued and obtained all the complaints and investigations. And now we are publishing them so you can search the cases too.

The pre-dawn raid on Ilhan Omar's home in D.C., the attempt to extradite Fergie Chambers from Spain on politically motivated charges related to Palestine solidarity, the DOJ investigation of Shawn Fain following his internal UAW advocacy for a ceasefire in the genocide, and the targeting of CODEPINK, BT News, and other organizations supported by Roy Singham represent an escalating pattern of political repression against those who show solidarity with Palestine and oppose U.S. militarism and fascism.
It is critical that we speak forcefully against this abuse of civil liberties and the weaponization of the Department of Justice, congressional authority, and federal agencies against dissent. Without concerted and organized pushback, this repression will only get worse.
