@JosieGrillasSTL @katewillett Here’s a book that has contributions from a range of caucuses on the key questions facing the left and DSA https://t.co/4UB1ZMLgWD that might be helpful.

We all understand how special DSA is, but how did we get here?

In the spirit of the 2025 Convention theme "Rebirth and Beyond," I wrote this history of DSA's resurgence and the backstory to many of the debates we are having today.

[The Call @socialistcall]

This piece — and other essays from across DSA’s big tent — appear in A User’s Guide to DSA, now available from Labor Power Publications.

Does this mean our international supports Medicare for All now? I hope so!

[SEIU @SEIU]

We can’t afford Medicare for All” — but they can afford $4 trillion in tax cuts for the rich and the largest Medicaid cut in history?

The math is clear. The cruelty is the point.

Every WNBA All-Star is wearing a “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirt tonight.

[Shaun Scott 🌹🤝 @eyesonthestorm]

To address the socioeconomic crisis this will plunge many communities into, Washington State lawmakers should call a special session this year.

The scale of these cuts are too great to meet with a short 60-day legislative session that in any case won’t begin until January 2026.

YOU refused to raise revenue, so spare me.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Every Washingtonian on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will see benefits reduced. 130,000 could lose their benefits altogether.

Trump and the MAGA Congress’s reconciliation bill takes food from our most vulnerable Washingtonians to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.

It's only beautiful to billionaires.

[SEIU Local 925 @SEIU925]

SEIU 925 member Nicolle and her family were detained by ICE, putting their safety and her son’s life at risk. Free the Moreno Forero family! Stop the injustice!

[Shaun Scott 🌹🤝 @eyesonthestorm]

Governor Ferguson’s Inaugural Ball tonight is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce; with a swearing-in speech that made no mention of taxing the rich to fund services we all use, many Washingtonians may wonder whether his economic agenda is as well.

[🌴 Miami DSA 🌹 @MiamiDSA]

On Monday, Miami DSA once again stood with Li'l Abner Mobile Home Park as residents fight back!

This month, 900 families- mostly working class immigrants - were notified by landlord Raul Rodriguez that the entire area would be razed to build “affordable housing". #LilAbnerLucha

[Robert Cruickshank @cruickshank]

Excellent article from a St. Paul school board member demolishing the "Student Outcomes Focused Governance" that is spreading like a cancer to big city school districts across America - including Seattle: https://t.co/lJ8w5R7Ze3

[Tony Hawk's Proletarian Skater 🔧🚩🌹 @brandonmadsen]

Me and @stephankimmerle's newest article on @dsaRandR's website, about the left's approach to immigration and the current border crisis in the US as both corporate parties move to the right on this issue.

So they react to squeaky wheels. She's never attended an event with this many constituents on a single issue EVER, in her 6 years of service.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

None of this is an exaggeration. This is the stated, explicit plan of Donald Trump. Why isn't there any alarm over, or even any interest in, what he's planning? Don't we deserve to know?

[Stephan Kimmerle @stephankimmerle]

@TyronMoore and @PhilipLocker discuss the state of the race and the approach of the socialist left to the presidential election. https://t.co/YWkCctrbP0

[ProPublica @propublica]

In one low-income Phoenix ZIP code, ProPublica estimates that only one voucher was used per 100 kids. That’s compared to a wealthy ZIP code where an estimated 28 vouchers were used per 100 kids.
