We will reform @nycDSA and stand with black and other communities of color against displacement; or the org will liquidate into the fourth-way neoliberal order the current leadership coalition envisions—and most everybody knows this, except perhaps the majority of the nyc-dsa
Sorry man, comrade dari is famous in nyc dsa for no date jews. she just not about that shit and it’s a hard line, no exceptions. Also, David orkin refuses to date Presbyterians. That one’s actually kinda fucked up, they’re all over him, like really hot ones, and he just won’t
No such thing as a bandwagon commie, for many reasons, among them: all people are not simply fans but players, it’s just our team and the other team, and the game will keep going forever
A friend asked me today if it would be weird for her to join DSA now, if she’d just be seen as a bandwagoner. I told her and I’ll tell anyone who asks “baby, we are just getting started.” Join this call tomorrow and JOIN DSA, it’s all hands on deck until victory!
The NYT op-Ed page: where imperial capital platforms vibey anticommunism and relegates ironclad reporting on extensive Israeli infrastructure facilitating the systemic kidnapping and torture of Palestinians. Hi Josh Kraushaar! Your evil is blunted only by your smoothbrainedness!
In a survey of New Jersey DSA members. “Nearly four out of 10 (39.3 percent) identified as anarchists, followed by Marxists at 35.7 percent and 10.7 percent as democratic socialists.” https://t.co/6vzmaA7qJl via @NYTOpinion
@alliecsays@jpforlou@nytimes It’s new, we all just got together and invented it, and we didn’t tell you. Because we don’t trust you because you’re the One Trot in dsa
Always much love to Peter for his USUALLY impeccable work, but I must call out his faulty reporting here. As many in the chapter know, Dari and Ramzi met last spring, at NYC-DSA Canon Event “Thots and Trots”, where they made a bit of a scene falling into the jungle juice
NEW: Darializa Avila Chevalier is dating Mayor Mamdani's top lawyer Ramzi Kassem.
The political power couple met 7 years ago while organizing to free people from ICE detention and have been quietly dating since 2023. https://t.co/AmfDPqjMW8
I just got done with my DSA orientation call!!!!
They told me I'm considered to be "DSA Right".
Meaning I believe in working within the Democratic Party in electoral politics.
They said they do both internal organizing within the Dems and also organize outside of it.
@AmicusParvus@pkgandakin Like the lack of disruptiveness reflects a lack of priority on political independence -> high priority on, well, political DEPENDENCE on dem machines and capitalist interests as factors in paramount electoral/legislative goals
@AmicusParvus@pkgandakin Yeah I tried to describe how I’d distinguish ln and idk if I did an effective job / I think a simpler way to put it is the distinction is about the relative priority placed on political independence in practice, downstream of a parliamentary/class formation project distinction
Ftr: as y’all are proud ultras now—ur gonna let us cook. right?
all in our distinct, vital roles? Together, one machine? Right?
Ur not gonna abuse ur formal power to bully, punish, and purge us. Right? For just doing our job? and yours too? right?
Cuz ur ultras now? Right? <3
Excited to see Hasan recognizing the work of NYC-DSA and Groundworkers within it to set a model of socialist co-governance that delivers on campaign promises, expends political capital to invest in public services, and is responsive to asks from mass movements!
@TradeUnionJake@akjones268 NO ONE raises questions about bread and roses on mr dachshunds watch except for MR DACHSHUND and also anyone else, just—sorry Jake but not you
