Shawn Fain won UAW's biggest contract victories in 40 years and organized the South for the first time ever. Now, right before his re-election and ahead of a potential 2028 general strike, the DOJ opened a grand jury investigation into him — via a federal monitor Fain has clashed with since the UAW's Gaza ceasefire resolution.
Unions are one of the last real structural checks on oligarchy. That's exactly why the most effective labor leader in a generation is facing this kind of pressure right when it matters most. We need to watch this story closely.

Groundwork NPC Member Eleanor B. asks DSA members to show up on Sunday and demand the NPC listens to convention and gives YOU a vote on our 2028 Endorsement Process! Every member deserves a say in who DSA endorses for president!

Now that the California billionaire tax is officially on the ballot this November, voters deserve logical arguments.

This guest essay in today’s New York Times, by two economists from the Hoover Institution, is based on a shocking logical mistake. 🧵

[DSA @DemSocialists]

On July 4, 2026, Democratic Socialists of America passed 120,000 members, making us the largest socialist organization in United States history and surpassing the Socialist Party of America under Eugene Debs, which reached its peak dues-paying membership in 1912.

Many Americans who have profoundly shaped this nation's social, economic, and creative history were also socialists

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Another Democratic Socialist is going to Congress! Congratulations to DSA member @MelatKirosCO! Congresswoman Kiros will take the fight for a better world to D.C: to Abolish ICE, free Palestine, and win Universal Childcare and Medicare for All.

[Curt Ries @Curt_Ries]

I worked with @kai_newkirk for years, organizing to end the systemic corruption of big money in politics and realize something closer to true democracy. He's the real deal, someone who will dedicate his whole self to a righteous cause, to justice, to democracy.

[Kai Newkirk for Congress @kai_newkirk]

I’ve been arrested over 25 times in nonviolent civil disobedience as a movement leader. I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s 4th district to take the fight to dethrone the oligarchs and win an America we can afford from the streets to the halls of power.

Today we share our first ad, by the great @MeltedSolids team, which shows the movement of love, truth, and people power we’re building to take on one of the most powerful corporate Dems in the country. We’re ready to be the next big organizing win for progressives. Join us.

main contradiction of our era: decades of neoliberalism have created an unprecedented opening for socialist politics, while also dramatically undermining the basic social fabric, making it harder than ever to build the depth of working-class organization needed for transformative change

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The NYC Rent Guidelines Board just approved a two-year rent freeze for about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.

Zohran Mamdani and the movement behind him are on a winning streak: https://t.co/7IsoYHZlyy

Candidates endorsed by @nycDSA went 11-1 last night.

Polls show Democrats now prefer democratic socialism to capitalism by a 58-point margin.

The Democratic Socialists of America has a +17 approval rating among Democrats.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Working people across the U.S. are done with the status quo. We are no longer accepting crumbs while the 1% become trillionaires off our backs. Our labor keeps this country running. We deserve a hell of a lot more—but we must organize together to win it.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The richest 1% now have as much wealth as the bottom 90% of America combined.

[Marin DSA @dsa_marin]

Over 100 people filled the chamber at today’s Board of Supervisors meeting calling on the board to take action to protect our community from ICE. No more excuses. It’s time to pass an ICE-Free Marin ordinance that would defend our neighbors from Trump’s mass deportation machine.
