Passionate student socialists organizing in The Valley of the Sun. Our mission is to bring a true understanding of socialism within the American empire
YDSA at ASU is proud to announce the commencement of our TRANS (Trans Rights and Abortion, Never Surrender!) Campaign! Please see the link in our bio for more information about how to get involved. @YDSA_@DemSocialists
This is abhorrent behavior by this extreme right group at ASU. Every student should be able to feel safe on campus. It's appalling to see this division and hatred in our community. Dreamers in Arizona, know that I will never stop fighting to protect you.
.@ASU harshly penalized students and organizations protesting against genocide with loss of housing, club status, ability to take finals, and more. I hope they hold the same energy for this club that wants to use a police state on their fellow students. This risks the safety of every single student on that campus.
In the wake of Trump’s election win, YDSA chapters across the country have been gearing up to fight the right.
Join us Monday, January 6th at 5pm PT/8pm ET and commit your chapter to our 2025 Recruitment Drive!
TRUMP WINS AND THE PEOPLE LOSE. The next four years will be hard-- and yet YDSA is ready to not just fight fascism, but build a better world that works for all, not just the wealthy few.

Michael Crow is a liar, but what should we expect from the Chairman of the Board of the CIA’s venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel.
Don’t let him control the narrative. He is the one who called dozens of militarized police on his own students and community members.
In December of 2023, I was offered a role as a political reporter at The State Press. It was a job I had wanted before, and I was elated to have the offer.
But, the SP Exec. Editor at the time told me in order to have the job, I had to “tone down” my posts about Palestine.
