the true decline of western civilization is that there are not more movies like event horizon. pandorum comes close and yet, it was made over 25 years ago. an entire generation has been born and is coming of age without their own event horizon to cherish.

the road to socialism in america isn't written, we're going to need more progressives like el-sayed and hamawy elected, but we need to grow our base of socialists that can clearly distinguish themselves from progressives. it's not enough to want good things, we want the world for the working class

ny times op ed tomorrow: sure, the city has experienced the lowest crime rate in history under mamdani's democratic socialist leadership. but are the lives saved worth the loss of support from republicans on long island?

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

dsa's program workers deserve more calls for a real democracy: we think everyone deserves a voice not just in how we're governed but in our workplaces too. fox news instead finds this demand is "a risk" and "a threat". want to read what this dork finds so threatening? check out program.dsausa.org

Unbought and unbossed. DSA is proud to endorse Rashida Tlaib for Congress. In the Capitol, Rashida unapologetically stands up for the working class everywhere. Fighting for affordable housing, clean air and water, an end to the genocide in Gaza, and more, she is a beacon of hope and courage.

Rashida wears a jean jacket with a white t-shirt, and trendy tortoiseshell-framed glasses. Her smile is beaming with hope and optimism!
