The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.
For $22.8 billion, we could:
• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

Cherry Street workers need our support! Multiple locations bravely walked out on August 17th in protest after the owner, Ali Ghambari, lobbied for cutting tipped worker wages and threatened to close stores. Donate directly to workers here: https://t.co/ggs3FihSzT
The only coherent arguments against this in the replies seem to be that Hamas is a mass movement and the only possible resistance to Israel and US dominion.
"National Liberation takes precedence over class war."
“What we as the Anti-Occupation Bloc pointed out is that just opposing the judicial coup meant fighting for democracy for Jews only.”

It is our duty to fight the US embargo on Cuba! Our aim, though, must be to empower Cuban workers to win democratic control of society, instead of pretending they already do under a repressive bureaucracy.

Tacoma won a historic victory that will benefit 100,000 renters! We won the strongest renter protections in WA state, despite the corporate opposition shattering all spending records in Tacoma history!

Today over 200 of us shut down I-5 north for a ceasefire and a free Palestine! We were supported by hundreds more on the overpass bridges. Our numbers were so vast that no one was arrested. We keep each other safe!
Very courageous statement from the 18 year old Israeli who is refusing to serve in the IDF. While I don't fully agree with the politics - more radical humanist & left populist than Marxist - I hope his statement will inspire many more to resist within Israel! ✊️

We support adding these resolutions to the agenda not because we plan to vote yes on all of them, but because we believe it is essential that our convention debate them openly and reach a decision. Sign here to support the agenda amendment: https://t.co/aIdi7zOi7t
The DSA Convention agenda lacks discussion on crucial political topics that define the trajectory of our organization. To foster democratic engagement, Reform & Revolution, along with other caucuses and members, has drafted a proposed agenda amendment. https://t.co/ASO1uy6dM6
DSA National Convention is coming up and Seattle DSA has committed to sending our elected delegates regardless of ability to pay. But we're a few dollars short - can you help us out? Any amount helps, large or small 🌹

🚨 Trans & reproductive rights are under attack. We can't rely on the Democrats to mount a serious challenge to these rightwing assaults. There's been a lack of a serious national campaign to defend trans & abortion rights.
Sign to put it on DSA's agenda!
