The Trump Regime's bombing of a sovereign nation & kidnapping of its President is a naked act of imperialist aggression that violates international law and puts millions of lives in danger. We have to stand with the people of Venezuela & resist this with solidarity and organizing
trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism
My office was proud to join the Mental Health Association of Tompkins County for the ribbon cutting of its new space. For 72 years, the Association has served our community, and I’m thrilled that you now have a permanent home to continue that vital work for years to come.
It’s a great night to be a socialist! 😎 Huge congratulations to Ithaca DSA’s @jorgedefendini.bsky.social for securing nearly 60% of the vote in the primary! 🤯
It was a huge night of wins for DSA across NYS—nationally endorsed candidates (and SMCers!) @danielatonna.bsky.social and @jorgedefendini.bsky.social also won their Democratic primaries with ithacadsa.bsky.social and @mhvdsa.bsky.social, running as proud democratic socialists
a refrain you’ll hear from sectarians before convention is that you should feel shame for being in DSA, that more “advanced” “revolutionary” socialists look down on us but those folks don’t exist. DSA is the largest, most advanced socialist org in generations. you can’t make me ashamed of it
I co-authored a resolution for DSA's national convention! DSA must seize the moment by running a slate of congressional candidates in 2026 & planning to run a presidential candidate in 2028 🗳️🌹 Read the proposal & help us get the 250 signatures we need: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Abbott Elementary is Sesame Street for grown ups
This is like being a low level Joker goon and suddenly seeing Batman’s silhouette
Yeah after crashing out and blaming WK for every bad thing that's ever happened to him in his life, I wouldn't be surprised if he SWATs himself and blames it on somebody else at this point
now, do #Cornell
NEW: Judge Subramanian orders Columbia not to provide any student names or disciplinary records related to pro-Palestinian campus protests to a GOP-led US House committee while the court considers a temporary restraining order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Elected officials have the agency to form political majorities, not simply be formed by them. The Republicans understand this: it's time we did, too.
Immigration drops to 4th place among voter concerns, with the cost of living and political corruption taking the top two spots (Echelon)
This is how a Red Scare starts. They will start with our most vulnerable neighbors, moving down the line persecuting anyone who fits their profile as "un-american." Don't wait for them to come for you. Stand up for your neighbors now: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...
Demand the Immediate Release of Palestinian Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil from DHS detention
On the evening of March 8, 2025, Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State’s ann...

Every worker deserves a livable wage. Between high rents, unfair property assessments, & inflated grocery prices, Ithacans can't afford to live here. We must make the minimum wage a livable one. If elected to council, I will bring legislation forward to do just that. ithacavoice.org/2025/03/near...
Nearly half of Tompkins County workers earn less than new living wage - The Ithaca Voice
ITHACA, N.Y. — Tompkins County’s living wage — the minimal income a single adult without children needs to afford basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing — rose to $24.82 […]

The kid actors on Abbott Elementary are easily the best young actors I've ever seen in a movie or show.
The impossible leftist purity standards of "don't be a sex monster" and "maybe don't let your political donors kill elderly people in their care while hawking your book about how you solved covid"
So funny to see the left’s circular firing squad forming around Cuomo. Disagree on policy, not purity.
"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.
remember when this guy covered up a brutal police killing? i do!
Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher. "Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."
Staff should get a formal apology. This is what the staff union projected would happen. Lots of unnecessary pain to move a political agenda of tiny caucuses.
The end of year budget numbers are in and...DSA has ended 2024 with a $1 million surplus.
Marco Rubio fundamentally misunderstands his entire situation. He thinks he can get a seat at the table of white supremacy, but it’s never going to happen. He’s part of their con. He’ll NEVER be in. Doomed to serve as the face of the internalized shame that drives Latino men down the Trumpian path.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
