@transcosmopolis They unfroze Sam Kriss for some reason but I guess the kids do really like retro 2016 stuff

It’s a good bit that the Teen Jacobin issue has an article in there (by a millennial) about how Teen Vogue was mostly made and read by millennials despite being marketed for Gen Z.

We’ve tried the broad alliance with anybody who calls themselves progressive route for 50 years. It’s not working now, and maybe never did. We need DSA members in Congress to raise the red flag high.

It’s a no brainer that if DSA has any federal ambitions it runs through the creation of and affiliation with a Congressional Socialist Caucus

Socialist democracy requires membership bodies having the ability to actively govern themselves. Bread & Roses NYC believes majority caucuses Socialist Majority and Groundwork have pursued a myopic course in NYC that will prove woefully ineffective. socialistcall.com/2026/03/19/dem…

This is wrong, but also why deliberation, comradely debate and healthy structures must be non-negotiable in DSA. The minority position must be fairly heard & they must have a path to the majority position through organizing and persuasion

because i couldn’t read “The Myth of Red Texas” in any other way: here’s Mahmoud Darwish’s poem, “On Hope” and “The Myth of Red Texas” chapter on Emma Tenayuca and the pecan sheller’s strike looking forward to @DavidGriscom ‘s visit tomorrow at Brazos Bookstore!

I think there’s going to be a lot read into the Illinois congressional results, but these were mostly suburban districts without top tier left candidates or organizational strength.

Louisville councilman proposes law to publicize Flock camera locations courier-journal.com/story/news/cri…

On 3/12, Metro Council Pres. & Democratic Caucus member Brent Ackerson alleged that our very own @jpforlou violated Democratic Caucus rules by endorsing DSA-endorsed Aprile Hearn over incumbent Donna Purvis.

congrats to PTA but this is clearly a make-up win for Boogie Nights and Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood and The Master and Inherent Vice and Phantom Thread and Licorice Pizza and probably also some of those Haim videos too why not

uh oh... There's another pink elephant in the room y'all! Today I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Louisville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. This endorsement means a lot because it comes from organizers and community members who believe Louisville deserves a government that works for everyday people-->not just the powerful few. Together we are building a people-powered campaign for Mayor rooted in justice, opportunity, and dignity for every neighborhood. This movement is about housing, living wages, safer communities, and opportunity in every ZIP code. Thank you to the members who placed their trust in me. Now let’s get to work. #TeamShameka has something for everyone! Please sign up to volunteer and donate to my campaign here: ShamekaForLouisville.com #ShamekaForMayor #PeoplePoweredLouisville #WeGetThereTogether #Louisville

I’m starting to wonder if MUG just did a Hail, Caesar! style plot where they kidnapped a congressional candidate and turned him into a communist

This must be some of that authentic working class politics I’ve been hearing about

trans people doing endless discourse about useless bullshit meanwhile this is happening RIGHT now. it’s time to get serious people

@Quirknky @chairmanmeowing Where we might agree is that forging an independent identity isn’t just ballot line related. It’s probably true that having a new ballot line requires us to be able to do other things that we can’t do yet—though DSA ballot line skeptics tend to oppose those steps too.

@Quirknky @chairmanmeowing I disagree actually and think he’s showed our severe limitations on that front. Voters saw him as a different style of Democrat but still a Democrat; it helped him win (good) but limits the party building project (bad).

I think one problem with when third party conversations come up in and about DSA is the people who want a third party ballot line want it to solve things a ballot line in the US cannot solve
