Hannah wins in Ithaca Common Council Ward 5! A local Ithacan and @Cornell student, Hannah united her constituents in a shared vision of affordability in Ithaca through rent stabilization and improved transit. Congratulations to @IthacaDSA @CornellYDSA!
The obvious fact that a lot of socialists are tiptoeing around is that we need to intervene in the 2028 presidential election, and AOC is the obvious best candidate. If DSA doesn't endorse her, what are we doing here?
Comment your political ideology below and I will make a parliament chart out of it
As part of a new wave of young socialist candidates, Madison’s Bobby Gronert is running for city council, bringing lessons learned from student organizing to city hall to challenge developers and shape what socialism looks like for a new generation. jacobin.com/2026/03/studen…
Hasan Piker has a long track record of commending and excusing terrorism. He routinely uses his platform to spread anti-Jewish tropes, amplify propaganda from designated terrorist groups, and promote toxic anti-Zionism. Despite a backdrop of intensifying antisemitism, Piker does all of this, not only unapologetically, but proudly. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s decision to host campaign rallies with Piker is not just alarming; it’s absolutely shocking. It reflects a broader trend: the dangerous normalization of antisemitism in our politics. That this is happening in Michigan, where Temple Israel was targeted in a violent antisemitic attack less than two weeks ago, makes it even more egregious. If the attacker had succeeded, it could have been the worst mass killing of children in US history. Thank you, @RepHaleyStevens and @SenSlotkin and @MalloryMcMorrow, for speaking out with clarity and principle. jewishinsider.com/2026/03/slotki…
We @UAWRegion9A strongly oppose 175-B. This bill has a chilling effect on protest and picketing at educational institutions. If it had been law today, it would have limited our powerful pickets to win @CfuUaw’s historic agreement. City councilors: vote no. psc-cuny.org/news-events/hi…
fun fact: if u donate a few grand to your local city/town councilors election campaign u can have them on speed dial to help u with basically anything u need locally
i think a small but not-insignificant problem on the left right now is that everyone wants to be AOC/Zohran but if you want to make more AOC/Zohrans you kinda need to make a bunch of Julia Salazars and Jabari Brisports and Phara Souffrant Forests first!
NYC friends! We need to move apartments in the next 2-3 months (ugh), and I'm curious what you think are the most awesome + under-hyped neighborhoods? We currently live in Fort Greene and love it, but supply is low (and prices are crazy) so we want to cast a wider net.
@trash_panda97 @obus_r @alexeigannon if you’re interested in a cooler version without the toxicity, check out @RegenerateTCDSA and talk to @plantbasedagony about maybe taking Regenerate national (if that’s something they’re cool with!)
completely reconsidering everything and maybe considering going to do nursing instead of doing an MPH 😅
At their 2026 organizing conference, Young Democratic Socialists of America focused on organizing student workers, building campus movements against ICE, and preparing mass action for May Day 2028 to confront Trump’s authoritarianism. jacobin.com/2026/03/ydsa-c…
