More of this, please. PSL, DSA, Greens, Independent Socialist, etc have to do more of this. There can be disagreements, but we gotta know when to put those aside bc fascism is coming for us all.
I am proud to endorse my fellow independent candidate Andre Easton @AndreEastonBX, who is also running for Congress this year.
Like my campaign, Andre is clearly opposing the apartheid state of Israel, campaigning to end the genocide in Gaza, and calling for an end to all military aid to Israel. He is calling for universal public healthcare and taxes on the rich.
Most importantly, he is running independent of the two most powerful parties of global capitalism: the warmongering billionaire-backed Democratic and Republican parties.
Andre is on the ballot for the November election in New York’s 15th Congressional District, in the Bronx. He is a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and is running openly and clearly as a socialist.
His campaign is highlighting the fact that working people in the Bronx have been impoverished under the Democratic Party.
His principal opponent is vile, warmongering incumbent Democrat Ritchie Torres, who has received $2.6 million from AIPAC and other pro-Israel PACs and affiliated donors throughout his five-year career. Torres has been an unwavering cheerleader for Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine. Like my opponent, incumbent genocidal Democrat Adam Smith, Torres has voted for tens of billions of dollars for the genocide in Gaza and to ban United Nations food aid to the Palestinian people.
Andre is calling for full legal status for all undocumented immigrants, for taxes on the rich, and for housing built for people’s needs, not corporate profit.
Donald Trump was elected and then re-elected because of the historic betrayals by the Democratic Party, and their refusal to do anything in support of the American working class.
Under Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden, and with majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, the Democratic Party has overseen a devastating cost-of-living crisis, dismantled social programs, launched military assaults against several nations, funded a genocide, and ensured the blocking of universal healthcare and refused to allow even a strong public option for healthcare.
Rebuilding a militant labor movement is crucial, as is building a new party for the working class. These two tasks go together. Running independent socialist campaigns, rooted in the working class, is a necessary step forward. Andre’s campaign, alongside mine, point toward what is urgently needed: a new mass party of the working class prepared to go to war against the billionaires and their political servants.

@ryangrim I really don't understand why you'd even respond to tweets like this. Do the journalism thing my guy, focus on people in power. I've followed your reporting for a long time and really appreciate the work you've done, but it feels like you're losing the plot a little bit.
@ryangrim@briebriejoy@cmkshama Man, yall suck bro. I be trying to root for yall but you make it hard with shit like this. Why start an independent outlet just to Gatekeep like the mainstream media? lame af
I'm sorry, but Donny Douchebag may genuinely be the dumbest political commentator on TV, and that's saying a lot given how low the bar already is. He's uniquely stupid.
This is one of the more honest conversations I’ve seen on cable news in a while.
Mara Gay explains why many voters are angry that tax dollars are being used to fund the war in Gaza while Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and groceries. She argues that this isn’t just about foreign policy; it’s about what people believe their own government is choosing to prioritize.
Donny Deutsch pushes back hard, arguing that parts of the left have made calling the war a “genocide” a litmus test, and he rejects that label.
It's laughable to hear Ryan Grim say he won't cover @cmkshama cz she isn't “serious”, doesn’t have a “hook” & isn’t competitive.
How is this not gate-keeping for Democrats?
Says he covered Zohran when polling 1% cz he had a hook: interviewing Trumpsters in the street. Whereas Sawant’s fight for $15 that kicked off a national movement & her challenge to Adam Smith, who initiated the Isrl-US defense tech merger, isn’t newsworthy?

@Vanessa_ABee I think she’s charming in her own way. I like that she doesn’t care about being a people pleaser. Kinda in the same way Bernie had appeal. Policy over personality for me anyway.
.@RepHaleyStevens on why she once said "Israel comes to me in my dreams": "I was standing with the Jewish community and a group of hostages who were in pain... It was a very emotional moment."
Defeat AIPAC and the Zionists! Elect the socialist who beat the billionaires!
Vote for my campaign for Congress by August 4th.

@tamarah67@Ryan2WSB@ryangrim If want to be obtuse fine. I know you can read what YOU said. It wasn’t after 40min he wanted to move on. It was few minutes around the topic of DSA strategy. Thats different than what you said. I know understand that. But god bless you.
@tamarah67@Ryan2WSB@ryangrim I apologize for calling it a lie, that was wrong. But this isn’t accurate: “After 40 minutes he said let’s go to another subject.” That’s not what happened. It was a few minutes of specific questions on DSA strategy, not 40 min of exhausting one topic.
