Can you guys stop being weird so my friends stop asking me what’s going on in DSA? I canvass for endorsed candidates and I have one-on-ones with newly joined members, that’s how I relate to DSA. The intra-DSA stuff is a drag and I keep having to answer for it! I’m clueless!

This is tragic. strongly suspect the developers excavating the immediately adjacent lot (disregarding a stop work order) will be found to have some responsibility for the collapse.
The environment of impunity and deregulating for developers has to be checked.

Happy Birthday, Randy! 🎉
It takes a village, it takes a Valley — it takes a Villegas! And it's going to take all of us, from New Jersey and New York to Bakersfield and Los Angeles to help build a brighter future.

Pass the PRO Act. Pass the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. PERIOD.
Washington has talked about protecting workers long enough. We’ve got the numbers. Now let’s get shit done.
UNIONIZE EVERYTHING!
Public and local government workers deserve better pay, better benefits, and a damn seat at the table.
And to hell with anyone who disagrees.

This is great. I hope @nithyavraman is watching & understands why the money made available by Measure ULA is a critical component of such a push in Los Angeles.

In 2021, DSA was 85% white.
In 2026, DSA is 60% white.
America is 56% white.
By 2028 DSA will have a higher percentage of Black membership than America has as a percentage of the population.
And I'm not even joining. But these are the facts and the trajectory no matter how much you goofies want to Weaponize Neoliberal Identity Politics to maintain Zionist occupation of our Republic through Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer

You’d never get this info — especially presented in a way that’s easy to understand — if Koretz or Sokoloff had become Controller.
If your landlord offered you cash to move out, would you take it?

There is an arrogant criticism sometimes levied against DSA-SF - that "they don't know how to win elections." They just won a public bank & have won Right to Counsel, 2 Supes, and a real estate transfer tax over the past 8 years at the ballot.
Despite the worst circumstances.
PROP B WINS!! San Francisco has voted to establish the first municipal public bank in United States history!🌹
DSA SF and its members have been fighting for a public bank for nearly a decade, since @JackieFielder_ co-founded the SF Public Bank Coalition in 2017.

A lot of you "Marxists" on here are just reproducing Feuerbach's materialism and bastardizing Marx by branding it as his dialectical materialism

LA County is the only county in Southern California that voted yes on 40. Slandering the OC, IE, and SD was already a hobby of mine but it’s about to be my career.
California's 'billionaire tax' is still undecided. Here's where Proposition 40 stands latimes.com/politics/story/2…

I don't expect Zohran to give passionate defenses of prison abolition, but I think it's really disrespectful to the organization to allow Fox News to list DSA's platform like this and give no argument or education from his platform and just say "no".
"Get rid of borders?" "No." "Get rid of SCOTUS?" "No." "Get rid of jails?" "No."
@ShannonBream fires off a series of questions to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani about the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization he proudly says he belongs to.
After Mamdani rejects all three proposals, Bream asks whether the DSA will kick him out. He answers "No" again, this time with laughter.
