She may be bad on Palestine and policing but at least she’s really good at defining socialism!

Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist? "I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people." She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate. Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN

Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign two years ago today. @PeterSterne interviewed him at the time. And it's remarkable how decarceration has not been the mayor's focus, at all, in office.

Appreciate this answer from Angie Nixon on why she joined DSA. There is one opposition party in Florida and that’s DSA!

“Too long have the workers of the world waited for some Moses to lead them out of bondage. He has not come; he never will come. I would not lead you out if I could; for if you could be led out, you could be led back again.” Eugene Debs.

Running a Democratic Socialist, working-class campaign is hard. You don’t have access to the same sources of campaign funds as establishment campaigns.  That's why we're celebrating Shawn's birthday at @nikkilopezphl as our first fundraiser! secure.actblue.com/donate/30…

Chris Rabb: “I’m a decarceration person, I believe the country that represents 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of the people put in cages is morally wrong, but I will make an exception for all of those fuckers who are lawless MAGA thugs who have destroyed lives and communities. Lock all of those fuckers up. If there are moms who are going to jail because they changed what school district they are so their kids could get a better education, you better believe a Jared Kushner should be experiencing some jail time”

Dope! How many more rebrands before you try actually doing some abolitionist organizing of your own instead of just whining that CLC isn’t doing it for you? 👀

The US government doesn’t have the moral authority to execute anyone. That said, our nation *does* have a history of barbarism that it accuses other nations of that perform very public, state-sanction violence. #lynching #deathpenalty

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
