DSA’s largest chapter in the Southeast says: RUN, AOC, RUN! 🏃‍♀️ On Saturday, July 25th, a supermajority of members at our July General Meeting voted to urge Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for President of the United States in 2028.

In the MA Senate debate, both candidates were asked about whether they believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. Ed Markey said quickly and clearly "Yes." Seth Moulton never actually answered the clear yes/no question.

@sunrisemvmt.bsky.social helped elect a new generation of leaders who came from our movements and brought those movements with them into the halls of power. Now, we’re bringing that fight to the Massachusetts State House.

On the eve of our Mega Canvass with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social founder @varshiniprakash.bsky.social, it's such an honor to receive the endorsement of Sunrise Boston, as we fight together for the MA — and the world — we all deserve. I hope you'll join us tomorrow in Porter at noon! bdsa.us/Aug1st

Over 100 volunteers came together for our biggest canvass yet because we believe Cambridge deserves a future worth fighting for: reliable public transit, clean air and water, and a government that answers to working people, not billionaire donors.

Honored and fired up to announce that Our Revolution Massachusetts has endorsed our campaign. Our Revolution is the grassroots movement that grew out of the Bernie Sanders campaign. Neighbors organizing to win Medicare for All and get big money out of politics.

I’m proud to have organized throughout my life to put people over profits, to take money out of politics, and fight for the dignity of all people. My opponent is trying to confuse you about my record because she’s scared of the people-powered movement we’re building. Let’s focus on the real issues.

Last time I wrote about Rep. Decker, it was about the 130 different lobbyists who donated to her campaign. This time I'm diving into the time she repeatedly lied to the public, and explaining _why_ she did it: the way she views her job as a public official. letschangecambridge.us/articles/dec...

Yesterday the Labour Friends of Israel resurfaced from the dead and released a "new report" which urges the Andy Burnham government to not impose a comprehensive ban on trade with Israeli settlement goods and services because.......this would "become a de facto boycott of all of Israel". Oh really?

Among other steps, these parties have suggested they will act to:

1⃣Shift construction to the “settlement blocs” which will remain part of Israel in any future peace deal

2⃣Spurn annexation plans

3⃣Dismantle outposts

4⃣Launch a crackdown on settler violence. (5/14)

First, some context.

Over 75% of settlers live near Israel’s border, and many moved for economic reasons.

Under a peace deal, mutually agreed land swaps, a principle previously accepted by 🇮🇱 and 🇵🇸 negotiators, would allow Israel to absorb the vast majority of settlers. (7/14)

As for the other 25%, in-depth studies measuring settler attitudes towards relocation and economic dependence of isolated settlements, suggest that Israel could repatriate residents through ending financial assistance to the communities. (8/14)

With a 2SS still a possibility, 🇬🇧 should adopt a pragmatic and clear-eyed approach to advancing this goal:

🏦Sanction violent extremist settlers and organisations

💬Encourage the next 🇮🇱 govt. to:

🫸 Halt expansion outside the major blocs and remove outposts

↗️ Expand areas

These measures will help address challenges posed by settlements. But they will also help address larger obstacles to a 2SS, helping restore the Palestinian Authority's credibility.

Any agreement will require 🇵🇸🇮🇱institutional strength and public buy-in. (10/14)

Untargeted measures, such as blanket bans on trade with settlements, will backfire politically, economically and legally.
