Wrote this to find out for myself if the common wisdom in the UK and beyond, that Liverpool in the 80’s was run by Trotskyist maniacs, was true. Not only is it not, the propagation of that myth has a lot to do with the state of the UK government today. jacobin.com/2026/03/uk-lab…

New: Vickie Paladino (@VickieforNYC) is being sued for defamation by NYC activist Claudia Morales. Morales, whose boyfriend Ryan Carson was murdered in 2023 in an act of random violence, says Paladino baselessly claimed she didn't call 911 because of her progressive politics.

This is like the coolest thing ever if you’ve never driven a real car

That's my god damn Mayor. Restore go-cart culture!

I'm no geography buff, but Lindsey Graham's hometown of Central, South Carolina has a pretty misleading name imho

Tbc this is not a defense of being rude to each other or weighing in on every micro controversy you can find, 2 things I really try to avoid

I get being turned off by DSA infighting on Twitter but sometimes ppl say “DSA should be like PSL and not litigate things publicly” and there’s no real way to make that happen without adopting all the other things that make PSL PSL.

Soon when someone’s Twitter account gets hacked the scammer will use AI to write in their voice and make it realistic so my feed will look like: The current conjuncture demands (!!!) a prefigurative heuristic accessible only through Ray-Ban sunglasses on sale for $17.99 a pair

Every Senator over 71 must be in "am I going out like Stan Chera??" mode right now.

@Chris_Antonee @DougHenwood Maybe you can disprove the claim that's circulated that PSL members are forbidden from sharing your criticisms of PSL, something that any member of any organization will inevitably have. What are yours?

@DougHenwood @andersleehere no.

Lindsey Graham, 2014.

@publicgoodsfan 2015-2017

@andersleehere If DSA and Sanders' political evolutions were both continuous, I'm pretty sure a fixed point theorem would suggest that they had to have the same politics at some point in time

As has been repeated ad nauseam and somehow still misunderstood, Bernie Sanders has never been in DSA. The rub is that he didn't join when it was founded because he was to the org's left (over the ballot line question). He likely doesn't join now because he's to our right.

@DougHenwood Seems like it

@andersleehere Isn’t PSL falling apart?
