wild to see the suggestion that nycDSA’s growth was some kind of inevitability when in reality everyone busted their ass for a full decade in the face of enormous establishment pushback. just fully disrespectful to people who have made building this org their unpaid full time job

@serratist @AdamBojak Thank you!

Contrary to the tweets being put out, we just wrapped an NPC meeting about NYC’s bylaws in a really solid place!

It was comradely & we are all dedicated to working to find a path forward that upholds our democracy🌹

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

@ramsincanon Yeah and @jpforlou stacked (didn't get to speak) and also was an author of a res.

The DSA convention party debate underscores the need to distinguish btwn mass political parties & "parties of notables." The Democratic Party is not a mass democratic political party. It is the latter. Here's a venn diagram sketching some very rough similarities and differences.

I’m running for State House District 43.
We’re building something real:
* Real teachers, not AI bots
* Housing we can afford
* Public control of our utilities
* Worker power, not corporate giveaways
Launch: 7/26, 2PM @ Portal (1512 Portland Ave)

These amendments create a budget that will make it cheaper and easier to get around the city, provide more affordable housing, & make feeding working families with quality food less expensive and more accessible. The working people of Louisville deserve more!

HEY WHAT'S THE TAKE NOW

Like most bullies Litvin's a liar who didn't refer to me by name because he isn't brave enough to say it with his chest. Had he, a lie that I'm an antisemite (with my Jewish wife & children) leaves me unbothered. I don't care what genocide cheerleaders think of me. Free Palestine

@jpforlou Her saying "we don't have to anymore" when Comer said he "doesn't know about pronouns" was as much of a tell. It's not just that they feel safe in their bigotry, it's that they feel like they've turned the page on trans people entirely.

The Call Radio is back!! 🥳🍞🌹

For our first episode, Chicago B&R member Waleeta, Jacobin editor Nick French (@nickfrenchnyc) and NPC member Kristin Schall (@MarxandCookies) talk class dealignment and the 2024 election. https://t.co/PyWzP3gGkg

@Quirknky "Dirty" entails unevenl entails push *and* pull, entails tactical flexibility both for us *and* our opposition. Unfortunately dogs can sometimes play basketball. I've seen it.

[Robert LeVertis Bell 🍞🌹 ⚜ @bell4ky]

@Quirknky Sure. Party surrogates organize against us financially; if attendant parts of the party apparatus (e.g. NGOs) deny endorsements; gerrymandering in districts we're strong; jungle primaries that allow party committees a thumb on the scale. These things have happened already!

[Robert LeVertis Bell 🍞🌹 ⚜ @bell4ky]

@kksteffany I'm saying that the synthesis between your position (if we became a "real cohered force" it would usher a dirty break) and David's (realignment is impossible; independence is terminally marginalizing) is that a dirty break would be disempowering. Did I misunderstand you?

[kristian steffany @kksteffany]

@chairmanmeowing if you think we can be more than a faction then that’s basically saying we should take over the party. But I think we both know that as soon as we are a real cohered force there will be a concerted effort to prevent us from using their line.
