This is unironically what it's going to be like if even a single DSA backed candidate makes it into the Dem Primaries for 2028
We love U of I and Holiday World, but the colored portion of D is the most cursed region of the United States of America.

Death, taxes and new ground breaking studies showing that giving money to poor people helps and trans people never regret it.
It's weird, when you look back on the coverage of Jackie Robinson integrating Major League Baseball, there weren't a lot of these sympathetic pieces about the fans practicing their rights of freedom of speech by screaming the N-word at him. Progress!
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 4d agoSpeaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit
Reads like a generous discussion of how to deal with ignorant bigots where the ignorant bigots get the final word on their their ignorant bigotry with no word from those subjected to the ignorant bigotry.

There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing
Omar Wasow@owasow.bsky.social · 2w agoWhy has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...

Trump years have been instructive because it's been clear that nobody in the GOP actually hates the inevitably bad things about communism. Secret police, personality cults, gulags, kleptocracy, party loyalty tests, martial law, even central planning. Just the concept of people with less having more.
