One of the largest Socialist parties in the USA was in Texas. Cowboys cutting fences and fighting private property, abolitionists taking a stand against the confederacy, populists taking on the rich, there’s a lot about Texas the world doesn’t know. Grab my book to learn more

@DavidGriscom I went to high school with that creepy scum bag. Can’t tell you how unhappy I am to see his face popping up in my news feed these days.

ICE executed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Now a Trump installed failed politician Aaron Reitz, who Texans rejected multiple times will decide whether those killers face justice. Texas is becoming more undemocratic by the day. How much more can Texans take?

Related to what Bhaskar says here, I'm still strangely proud of the editorial Jacobin published the day after Trump was elected the first time. An intervention much more politically serious and level-headed than what we were seeing from many liberal and centrist outlets.

Is America the most racist country in the world today? I didn’t expect this answer from Democratic Socialist leader Bhaskar Sunkara.

This is so important for people to hear. Live abroad for a while and you will see it clearly too. Great interview @sunraysunray My 2 cents: the U.S. is much less xenophobic and anti-immigrant than most places. The left should feel confident about this!

Detroit News reporting that federally appointed monitor Neil Barofsky called UAW President Shawn Fain to share his personal view that describing Israel’s war on Gaza as a genocide crossed the line and was anti-Semitic. Clear abuse of authority. detroitnews.com/story/business…

Scoop: On June 11, Ken Paxton threatened to sue the Big 12 if it sanctioned Texas Tech for fielding QB Brendan Sorsby. The day before, Texas Tech Regents Chair Cody Campbell, a Sorsby defender, donated $274,300 in support of Paxton's #TXSEN bid: texastribune.org/2026/07/15/cod…

When voters think of “left” today they think of Pelosi in kente cloth, not the economic stuff. The economic stuff is just common sense. That’s why the party establishment is right wing on economics but seen as too left wing by normal people.

30 years of GOP rule in Texas has brought data centers, screwworm, and disappearing family farms. Can a young Jim Hightower protégé convince rural Texas to vote left again? For Barn Raiser — and @DropSiteNews picked it up with an intro from @ryangrim . Link below
