l love when a white journalist reporting on “concerns of lack of diversity” in DSA fumbles the name of the Latina elected official he interviews for the article. My name is Moreno, not Morales.
keffiyehs in a variety of scarf knots, one turned into a halter, another a tote bag, some used as shawls, some paired with cut-off shorts. “Cuban Americans are harder to appeal to with socialism because they have their own version of Zionism,” one said cnn.com/2026/08/03/politics/…

(LA taxpayers will be on the hook for the first $270 million in cost overruns if the LA 2028 Olympics goes over budget. CA taxpayers will then be on the hook for the next $270 million. After that, LA taxpayers will again be on the hook for any remaining cost overruns.)

Third time reading Organize or Burn and we're still catching new things. It’s a real, behind-the-scenes look at what life inside DSA actually looks like, day to day, pressure, people, decisions. If you’ve ever wondered what that job is really like, this is a solid read.
Third time reading Political Humanity by Jasmine Ray and I’m still catching new things.

More and more people in LA are taking matters in their own hands, picking up trash, painting crosswalks, and doing other services the City should be doing. I applaud these activists who represent the best of LA, but it shouldn’t be like this. We can fix City Hall! See how:

Today is the 4 year anniversary of our first union victory! Since then, we've won over 650 union elections. It's been 4 years without a contract, and 4 years of union busting. That's why we're on day 26 of our national ULP strike - and we won't back down. cnn.com/2025/12/09/business/…

The great Homayoun Ershadi, most known for his sublime performance in Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry, has passed away. An immeasurable loss for Iranian cinema.

I think the #1 obstacle for most people to joining DSA is expectation that you have to devote hundreds of hours of volunteer labor to One of the most important things we can do to organize more socialists is make clear you should be a member of the Party, volunteering is a bonus

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @LATenantsUnion on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:
Federal agents kidnapped a baby during an operation at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. Feds took the baby away while they were abducting the father. Fuck these monsters.

Organizer who has successfully made Kathy Hochul do what she didn't want to do before here! This reaction means we need to keep doing this as much as possible
