This #PrideMonth, I'm going to:
- Continue assisting in training queer Leftists and allies in firearm usage.
- Continue mutual aid efforts.
- Continue anti-imperalist, anti-zionist, pro-Cuba messaging.
- Steer queer liberation away from Liberalism and Conservatism.

The best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.”

The truth is, anyone asking you to condemn Hamas doesn’t actually care if you do.
People who spend their time demanding these condemnations don’t suddenly stop smearing, attacking, blacklisting, or policing people once they get them. The point of the ritual is political discipline.
It’s a dog whistle meant to send a message to everyone watching, solidarity with the oppressed is acceptable only if it’s accompanied by public distancing from their resistance.
The message is that solidarity with the colonized is suspect, that resistance is uniquely illegitimate, and that anyone who refuses that framework will be punished.
The danger isn’t that one politician gets pressured into a condemnation. It’s that an entire movement is taught to internalize the idea that standing with colonized people is a liability that must constantly be apologized for.
That’s how you normalize policing the boundaries of solidarity itself.
You're telling on yourself. You're settling. You're telling people they should settle with the pseudo-Left because "there's nothing else" instead of encouraging the creation of an actual Left. I understand you want that false hope though, but DSA isn't it.

@shunnedmorlock DSA will be the death of any actual socialist movement in the U.S. Internationally, people laugh at us that the best we can do is settle for Center-Left (at best). DSA is Liberal. Not socialist.

What happened:
Biden beats Trump, Biden is weak and negligent for 4 years, Republicans win.
What will happen:
DSA gains electoral power, the electeds fall in line with Democrats, DSA loses electoral power.
Democratic socialism is Liberalism. Socialism is Socialism.
