Heart of Iowa DSA🌹

We are fighting for power for the working class in Ames/Story County, as well as Boone, Hardin, Hamilton, and Marshall counties. Join us as we relaunch in 2026! forms.gle/toUvsLroLqEdR5…

Solidarity with the people in the streets in Iowa City against sexual assault, the patriarchy, and the university and police that upholds them! No justice, no peace!

@firebladeboy93 @JenniferMascia @SkProMasker @allyzay @NotGeauxGabby The NFA is specifically and intentionally designed to enable only the wealthy to own machine guns. Someone stressed because they're living paycheck to paycheck necessarily cannot afford one.

@TomWojcik Fun story, the night after my tonsillectomy I started bleeding again and lost like half a pint of blood before I got back to the hospital

@TomWojcik I would hope not. A tonsillectomy is *significantly* more dangerous than an abortion. You have something like a 5-10% morbidity rate, especially from blowing clots. ~1:20000 mortality. People should definitely take tonsillectomies more serious than safer procedures like abortions

@Samuelw9 @crookedroads770 @Vinncent We're *explicitly* forbidden from questioning or interrogating converts. Also the story goes that their souls were with us at Sinai so they've always been Jewish; the thing with the beit din was just a formality. They're profoundly wrong religiously besides just being an asshole.

@herosnvrdie69 Solidarity ✊

I cannot believe how many of y’all didn’t realize I was so midwestern until you heard my voice yesterday. Commies of the corn are all around you lmao

@InternetHippo Oh you thought we were joking? twitter.com/blakehounshell…

@InternetHippo "What do we want?" "INCREMENTALISM!" "When do we want it?" "EVENTUALLY..."

Siri show me opportunism

People watching WHO tonight heard an audible request that was not meant to be on air about the FBI requesting to use their footage. Everyone PLEASE move your conversations to Signal, leave your phone at home for protests, keep your face fully covered, and cover tattoos. Fuck feds

When the police kneel, they aren't expressing solidarity, they're attempting to recuperate the protests. If the police wanted to show authentic solidary they would just quit. “Blue lives” are a costume not an identity.

When the police murder unarmed black people, that isn't an outlier or a few bad apples. That's the system operating *precisely* as designed. Any materialist analysis shows that you can't reform such a system, and to think otherwise is a fantasy. Abolition is the only solution.

The police are a violent, militarized, occupying force and their existence is inherently incompatible with a just society. People can either side with justice or, through action or merely inaction, side with oppression and the status quo. Now is the time to choose

@GreenfieldIowa just ran an ad bragging that she was endorsed by the prosecutor who chose not to prosecute the guy who murdered George Floyd the last time he murdered an unarmed man. Seems like Theresa might want to read the room?

Definitely spite him

We’re going to make some phone calls tomorrow, because it’s wrong to throw people out of their homes, especially in a pandemic. If you’ve been following our work, sign up now to join us tomorrow: docs.google.com/forms/d/16QZBC… 🥊☎️🌹

Solidarity is our only path through this crisis and the crisis of capitalism ✊

Our mutual aid working group is currently going through our membership list and contacting people to find out if their needs are being met during the quarantine. If you're in our region and have unmet needs please reach out; we'll do our best to help.

Our ecosocialist working group got a plot in the Ames community garden, just in time for coronavirus. What better way to prepare for a pandemic than growing your own food?
