This weekend, SWA hosted a “Fightback School” in Savannah. The event was productive & was hopefully the beginning of something exciting. We also used the opportunity to mobilize in support of ATU

For more than a year, CAT drivers have kept Savannah moving while working under an expired union contract. Management’s response was to Impose mandatory biometric timekeeping without an agreement with ATU then suspend 21 bus drivers who refused to enroll

Socialists unconditionally support the defense of Cuba from US imperialism & the right for self determination of all Caribbean nations. This doesn’t mean withholding criticisms of the Cuban Communist Party or the Cuban government.

More importantly, their approach to the campaign will almost certainly be liquidationist. An intervention into an AOC presidential campaign could be useful but chapters like NYC & LA will combat any attempts at extracting concessions in exchange for endorsement
Peter Sterne@petersterneOct 22
There is now no doubt that DSA will endorse AOC if she runs for president. Caucuses that are on the record publicly supporting AOC's run (SMC, GW, B&R and Carnation) have 15/27 votes on the NPC.

Solidarity to our staff union family at @seiu_uhw who voted down management’s comprehensive proposal and voted to authorize a strike to win wages that keep up with the cost of living and real AI protections. Staff union workers are workers too!

@DSASocMaj @GroundworkDSA (1 vote each) and @breadrosesDSA (2 votes) just used their majority on the NPC Steering Committee to hide our proceedings on the Nithya Raman issue from DSA members. We will now conduct that business in secret.
Cliff Connolly ☧ 🇵🇸@CliffConnollyOct 19
The worst thing about the current NPC is that it consistently violates its own policy on executive session bc many of my colleagues are scared to argue their positions out in the open where DSA members can see. It’s set to happen again tonight with the Raman issue. Shameless.

Obscene to redeploy the Harris campaign’s “joyful resistance” framing in a state where the DP didn’t even hold a nomination election. This just goes to show which people Nixon is orienting towards. Certainly not the millions of people repulsed by Biden / Harris

Hey girl hey. In this moment, I am going to be joyfully resistant. I won’t allow you to steal working families’ joy. We are working harder than ever and struggling to get ahead. When we can dance, it is us preparing for battle. I’m 42. You’re 33. Being kind ages you better🥰

Is the country’s leading resistance group still focused on “resistance,” or has its strategy become increasingly concerned with preserving the Democratic Party's electoral prospects? currentaffairs.org/news/no-k…

No Kings. No Demands. What Happened?

Behind the scenes, the organization leading America’s largest anti-Trump protests has declined to endorse impeachment—and pressured local organizers who demand it.
