+hosted Long Island’s only Pride event without cops or zionist affiliation, picketed with Starbucks workers all winter & supported the strike fund, raised over $1,500 for medical supplies for Cubans, collabed with a dozen local pro immigrant & labor orgs for May Day actions etc.
Long Island DSA took a stray for not having any endorsed candidates rn and in the meantime we're involved in like four food distros a week, growing food we give away, canvassing for rent control, running poli ed and defending our communities!
Electoral politics are the floor
“I often see people who are not DSA members criticize from the outside: “It’s not left enough,” “you’re just a Democrat,” “you’re not really down.” And my question for those people, and for folks who follow those people online, is: What is your solution for building working-class power on a mass scale? I don’t mean 3 people or 10 people, hell, even 200 people or even a thousand, but millions of working people. How do we build sustainable power on a scale that involves millions of workers and goes beyond our unions and our elections?
And please don’t misconstrue that to mean the work we do in groups of 3, 20, 200, or even a thousand isn’t valuable. It literally is, AND we need more. We need that work AND more.”

essentialism is like catnip to libs “radical politics aren't good for POC or queer people or women because i talked to liberals & they said so” perhaps the opinion is not inherent to the identity it’s that you didn’t seek out a radical opinion from a POC or queer person or woman
really hate to sound like a centrist or whatever but i really do feel like all of our nuance is lost over text/internet. IRL you can say to your comrade “hey what did you mean by that bc this is what it means to me”
