Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first budget is a master class in compromise and class collaboration. But using methods of class struggle, we can confront the outrageous inequalities of one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
We recently published an article by the author of the post which he wrote in response to LV’s call for DSA to break with the Democratic Party. We believe casual disregard/tacit support of violence towards other Leftists must not be normalized – we have taken down said article.
A DSA member made unacceptable comments in reference to the killing of Leon Trotsky by Stalin, which are also an attack against Sawant. We stand in solidarity with Sawant, and join her call to have DSA leadership disavow the comment.
We can't fight for socialism stuck inside the same party that condemns it and censures its members for denouncing genocide. For DSA to be a real alternative, the first step is to break with the Democrats.
We need a working-class socialist party now!
ICE is ramping up kidnappings in Detroit, including kids. Teachers are on the frontlines, pushing their institutions to step up the fight.

Saturday’s rallies reveal the depth of the ongoing crisis of representation in the United States and the need for a real united front against Trump and the Far Right.

NOW: We're marching with @Labor4Palestine and other groups at the #NoKings in NYC, demanding the reinstatement of the 4 CUNY faculty who were fired for pro-Palestine activism.
This successful blockade represents another escalation of the international movement of port workers to resist Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Faced with the global offensive of nationalist and reactionary forces, only the internationalism of the exploited and oppressed can constitute a progressive response. But what exactly is internationalism?

Andor does not merely show history from the “bottom up” but also provides a critical study of how capitalism, fascism, and other systems of oppression have maintained their domination.
