UAW for Evan!! so grateful for my UAW and DSA sister Claire for her solidarity here

Evan MacKay@evanforcambridge.bsky.social · 7h ago

We are incredibly grateful for the endorsement of the Democratic Congressional nominee for NY-7, my fellow @uaw.org sibling running for office, @claireforny.bsky.social.

From Beacon Hill to DC, we're tired of the bosses in the halls of power. It’s time to send in the union organizers. We’re part of a national movement fighting for working people and democracy. I’m proud to be running for office alongside fellow @uaw.org member @claireforny.bsky.social

the DSA difference✨

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 20h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

if they want to pick a fight with Rabb, Dari, and Kiros over this, they are not gonna like the primaries that come for them next

Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus want a condition for incoming Democrats seeking to join their ranks: You have to support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

i’m gonna need DSA’s presidential candidate to go to the mat against these opportunist ghouls in 2028

Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?

TF: "Shotspotter is a technology that saves lives & solves crimes. It's important, I'll say it again Shotspotter is a technology that saves lives & solves crimes. It is not a surveillance system. It is not designed to record and collect data." « I think each of those statements is provably wrong? »

y’all know i’m not the #1 AOC defender on this site but this seems fine to me. MAHA is an incoherent, crankish voting bloc that nevertheless includes a lot of voters. cracking down on the exploitative business models of Big Ag and for-profit healthcare is solid left policy that could peel off MAHAs

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

we pay for things through taxes! the rich should pay much higher taxes and we should reallocate police & military funding to provide free transit & other public goods

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 2d ago

As some have pointed out, free transit isn’t really a new “slopulism” idea but this public policy of “you will never have to pay anything ever” seems like a one way ticket to governance hell

genital inspections to play sports are wrong at any age, but requiring them pre-puberty is a real “the cruelty is the point” moment

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2d ago

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

feels like this is a way to place blame for whatever war crimes the U.S. commits next on someone lower down the chain of command

Ian TB@iantb.bsky.social · 2d ago

Well, crowdsourcing a war plan is certainly a first: www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

this is noteworthy not because transphobia makes athletes worse, but because it’s a grift that appeals to backups looking for a second career in right-wing media

Robyn- Looking For Work! 🏳️‍⚧️@thewobynfiasco.bsky.social · 3d ago

on one hand associating skill with morality is really stupid because there’s plenty of dimwit bigots who are good at sports. however it really is something how practically all of the most prominent transphobic athletes are just flatly mediocre

the NYT wanted soooo badly to write a “DSA in disarray” piece but they ran into the reality that we are all genuinely committed to a big-tent socialist organization

Leonard Pierce@leonardpierce.bsky.social · 3d ago

DSA shocker: people refine their ideology through dialectic instead of just voting for whatever candidate their party barfs up and calling it politics www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/u...

massachusetts still requires this to be filed weekly for unemployment insurance!

Olivia Hill@machineiv.bsky.social · 4d ago

Fun fact: During the Clinton administration, welfare recipients had to file paperwork proving they applied for a certain amount of new jobs every month. Know what happened if you lived in a village with few job openings and no way to travel? Your kids suffered malnutrition. Ask me how I know.

the idea that it’s “courageous” to say a vulnerable minority doesn’t deserve rights is a real hallmark of trump-era “at least he tells it like he sees it” political discourse

The Athletic@theathletic.com · 4d ago

Speaking 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

we’ve been telling y’all for years that it’s socialism or barbarism. now they’re confirming it!

John Q. Public@publius24.bsky.social · 5d ago

With this new red scare taking shape ahead of the midterms, expect the GOP to increasingly flirt with this “better dead than red” rhetoric

if you can’t win cases just because your client is trans, that means you’re a bad lawyer. the political & legal situation is obvs bad for trans people rn, but the laws mostly still apply to us. take it from me: a lawyer who knows how to treat trans clients like people can still get wins

this is a great piece from Joe!

Groundwork DSA@groundworkdsa.com · 6d ago

In a new piece, Groundwork Co-Chair Joe W. argues that socialists of all tendencies should embrace the sections of DSA's new platform that advocate for constitutional reform and the expansion of direct democracy - despite the performative shock of the establishment media class. LINK BELOW ⬇️

i deeply appreciate this and feel similarly about the struggle against occupation and genocide in Palestine. if a U.S. politician is willing to look past the atrocities we fund abroad, there’s nothing stopping them from selling out vulnerable constituents at home

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 7d ago

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

i’ve had my disagreements with Markey—including over his refusal to go beyond “block the bombs” & commit to a total arms embargo on Israel—but there is a massive gap between him and Moulton. if you’re voting in the dem primary, Markey is the obvious choice

Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social · last wk.

Redditor: what's the difference between you and Seth Moulton? Ed Markey: There are a lot but here's where I'll start:

Another difference between Seth Moulton - only one of them has shown up at Trans Night of Remembrance. Only one of them has shown any consideration of trans folks as a constituency to be courted and reached out to, rather than dismissed, insulted, and demeaned.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

this has to be the way. the elites in the political & media establishment have decided trans people don’t belong in their society. it’s time for the working class to show them it’s our society instead

this is tangential but i can’t be the only one who reads AES as “actually existing socialism” every time at first glance

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · last wk.

The Stevens campaign's whole insistence that she's more of a Michigander than AES is clearly just racism, especially since the two of them were literally born in the same city.
